Brooklyn based experimental rockers Parts & Labor just released a new record and you’ll be pleased to know we are having them over. For the third time to be exact! Not sure if you know them? Here’s something to ring your bell. Parts & Labor toured with bands such as Battles, TV on the Radio, Deerhoof, Voltage,  Japanther, Pterodactyl, and Matt & Kim.

Support comes from local teen hero’s Lost Bear. These nineties rockers just released their new record “Limshasa” on Snowstar records!

So grab your agenda and write it down.

Behold My Puny Bears, Vol. II

This turned out to be a pretty damn special package for a number of reasons. Let us break it down for you.

1. We go: “It’s completely free!” Then you go: “Yeah, what else is new? All your tunes are up as free downloads.” “No son, we’re talking the actual CD here. When you order something in our shop for 10 euro’s or more, we’ll include this label compilation for zero euro’s.” Then you say: “O No, you didn’t!!”. “Well we did. And if you’re broke, or just really cheap, but still want to own pure coolness, you can order the cd separate for 3 euro’s.”

2. Every cover is completely unique. The front and back of the package are actual photographs (containing tasteful male nudity). We made tons of pictures and handmade sets for each album. We could say ‘collect them all’ but that would cost you 500 × 3 euro’s. Ah, what the hell: ‘Collect Them All!!‘

3. The music on this lil’ silver shiny disc turned out to be not too crappy at all! It’s a nice way to get to know our artists (and then some more). Loyal listeners will recognize most of the songs, but there’s some brand new stuff on there too. Check out the playlist:
