February 19th is probably going to be a pretty crappy day weather-wise wherever you happen to be, and unless you’re excessively goth, you’re probably gonna be pretty bummed about it. We here at Sub Pop had the remarkable foresight to bring you a record scientifically-designed and precision-engineered to combat any symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) you might be feeling. Your February 19th is going to be a little brighter with the debut from Grand Archives. Or, you could just…

It’s 3 out of 5 members of Grand Archives!

Grand Archives record The Grand Archives is OUT NOW. It is even available in MP3 format! (As usual the vinyl version comes with a coupon to download MP3s of the entire album.)

And not only but also! They are playing today (that’s 2/19/08) on KEXP at 3pm AND playing an in store at Sonic Boom Ballard tonight at 7pm. That is a free in store performance.

And as if that weren’t enough, they are playing two shows tomorrow night (that is Wednesday…

If you saw an item in this space earlier about Grand Archives playing on The END today at 6pm, please disregard. They are not playing on the radio on 2/21.

They will be on The END February 29. It will still be at 6pm, just 8 days later.

We’ll remind you as it gets closer. Thank you for your patience.

This part from earlier still applies:

If you couldn’t be there, the Triple Door shows Grand Archives did last night were fantastic. Be sure…

The mighty Sub Pop is having a HUGE showcase at 2008’s SXSW in Austin this year. How huge is it? Two stages huge!

Here’s how the whole shebang will go down:

BOURBON ROCKS STAGE (inside)

All of the bands/artists/comedians participating in our various 20th anniversary revelries have agreed to play for free in the hopes of raising a bunch of money to give to a bunch of worthwhile organizations. Basically, we’re pooling the money we make, dividing it amongst everyone playing and each band/artist/comedian picks a recipient.

Herewith the list of organizations to which these folks have elected to donate their share of the proceeds. And, sometimes, where possible, we’ve included a bit of info about…

As you have hopefully already read elsewhere here on the Sub Pop Interweb Tendency, we’re 20 this year. And, we plan to make kind of a nuisance of ourselves about it. More so than usual, even.

To celebrate the label’s twentieth birthday, Sub Pop will release a series of re-issues starting with Mudhoney’s Superfuzz Bigmuff: Deluxe Edition (which, like their brand new album The Lucky Ones , comes out May 20, 2008), launch a limited run of the Sub Pop Singles…

On September 15th, we’re releasing a new Grand Archives record. It’s their second, it’s called Keep in Mind Frankenstein and, oh man, are we excited about it! We are also pretty excited about the special treat we have for you pre-orderers of this record. If you order the CD or LP (which comes with a digital download code) by September 15th, we’ll throw in a totally limited (and equally sweet) custom screen-printed Grand Archives bandana at no extra charge. This…
