We received some very sad news yesterday that one of our long-time customers has passed away - Brendon Annesley of The Negative Guestlist. As a label owner, artist, and writer, Brendon was a very active figure in Australia's underground punk scene, and he will be missed by many.
On Februrary 7th, Chuck Prophet returns with Temple Beautiful - a nuanced, insightful, passionate ode to San Francisco: his adopted hometown; his muse; his drug of choice...
"San Francisco. It's a great place to come and wave your freak flag or whatever you want to call it. It can suck you under. That first hit. It really does a whammy to you. And if you're like me you can find yourself chasing the San Francisco dragon for the rest of your life. That's what the record is about.
The record's an unsentimental (though loving) tour of San Francisco. Made in San Francisco by San Franciscans about San Francisco. My effort to tap into the history, the weirdness, the energy and spontaneity that brought me here in the first place." ~ Chuck Prophet

The Marble Vanity's "You Can't Step On A Rainbow" 7" single streets January 31 on Slow Fizz Records.
What you see is only natural. After punishing ears for years as CoCoComa, Bill and Lisa Roe spent the last few years building Trouble in Mind Records and putting out enough hit singles to fill a candy jukebox. Goes without saying all these contact highs awakened a few demons. They found themselves playing with kites and launching yellow balloons into the sky towards Sagittarius and soon enough Andrew from The Hipshakes jumped across the pond and found himself going from every other weekend to full custody and The Marble Vanity was a band, man. Soon Emma from Hollows turned up with a harpsichord in one hand and a flute in the other to add a bit of sparkle, Josh Berman dropped by for tea with his cornet to add a little class and then there was this monkey and he had some total Owsley shit – super kind.
