SCARCELIGHT LIVE ACTION ....................... + MIKROKNYTES 09.03 - San Francisco, CA @ tba 09.06 - Portland, OR @ Apotheke 09.07 - Seattle, WA @ tba 09.10 - Vancouver, BC @ Blim ............... ARTIST NEWS ............... SKULLLIKE, just forget any past updates, and move forward from here. For those curious....the short phrases, an upgraded studio, some new guitars, some stronger songs.....will have to suffice. The upcoming Skulllike release (cat# LLL43) is now called "Eggs On Equators". The title track is the first single from the forthcoming Skulllike album 'Small Hell LP' and is backed by 5 non-album b'sides. So your gonna get two Skulllike releases (an ep & an album) but you'll have to wait a little longer .....we promise it will be worth it though. EBSK have turned in the master for their new 3"CDR single. Look for a release before years end new 'signings' YARD and MOTORWAY are working on material for the label. Yard is one Chris Jones who co-runs Toast & Jam records and has appeared on compilations by Skam, ....and more Motorway is the recording name for Mike Karadimos' (also of The Trust Riots) muse. The Motorway album has been written,recorded, re-recorded, revised and soon to be recorded again (an upgrade from 8 track to 24 track studio makes a big difference eh?) MIKROKNYTES have just announced the upcoming release of 'Sess-Supastreng EP' (5 songs, 36 minutes), and a mini tour of the West Coast in September. for more information visit: http://scarcelight.org * please note that while Scarcelight keeps a pretty faithful release schedule things can and do change. if you would like to receive this newsletter directly please send an email to: info@scarcelight.org with "subscribe" in the subject header. thank you for supporting independent music!
