FINALLY PUNK ANNOUNCE NEW RELEASES
Here’s the latest Myspace bulletin from long-dormant Austin punk giants Finally Punk:

“We uploaded our new track: “Hypertension”, to promote our forthcoming 4-song EP on M’Lady’s Records this Fall.

Germs of Youth will be releasing a 7″ single: “Six Years Doing Time” b/w “Negative Creep” and maybe another?

PPM is releasing a DVD compilation, “New Video Works”, with videos by:
ABE VIGODA, BARR, BLACK BLACK, DEERHUNTER, ERASE ERRATA, FINALLY PUNK, HAWNAY TROOF, HIGH PLACES, DAVID HORVITZ, JAPANTHER, KIT, LUCKY DRAGONS, MIKA MIKO, NO AGE, POCAHAUNTED, THE SADS, SILVER DAGGERS, SISSY SPACEK, SOFT BOILED EGGIES, SOFT CIRCLE, SOILED MATTRESS AND THE SPRINGS, DAVID SCOTT STONE AND XIU XIU

We plan to tour the UK/Europe before the year is over, but school/work/nomadic endeavors has kept us put for the time being.”

Holy snap, just when we though we’d never hear from these awesome ladies again they go and churn out 4-song EP and plan to appear on a DVD comp with some of our Cannibal Cheerleader favorites (Mika Miko, High Places, Xiu Xiu, etc). Here’s to you girls, we’ll definitely be picking up the EP!

In what’s sure to be an epic tour for the ages, Southern flower-punks the Black Lips are heading out on tour with Cannibal Cheerleader fave Grand Ole Party for some California dates. Here’s hoping this duo swings through Texas and soon!

TREASURE MAMMAL BACK IN THE STUDIO?
Recent mumblings on the Treasure Mammal Myspace along with confirmations from Abe himself point towards the fact that our favorite spazz-rocker/motivational speaker is in the studio recording tracks for what might hopefully be the followup to the excellent You Wish I Was Channeling Your Spirit. Of course, anything our friend Abe touches turns to gold, including the recently uploaded Improvisational tracks with Corey of the Mae Shi which are a testament to the experimental creativity of the T. Mammal. Check ‘em out on the ‘Space y’alls.
