Coliseum – s/t 20 year anniversary reissue and new European tour

Coliseum - s/t cover by Baizley

I can’t say it better than Ryan Patterson (from Instagram):

Our first album was released on Level-Plane in June 2004 and reissued by Deathwish in 2014. It marked the beginning of our journey and holds a special place in our history and hearts. Unfortunately, the drums were buried in the original mix and the album didn’t quite portray an accurate representation of Coliseum at that time. Now, twenty years after its original release, I have remixed the album in the hopes of shining a light on the entire band, particularly our original drummer, my cousin Matt Jaha, who passed away in April 2020.
Now that Coliseum is back after a nearly nine-year hiatus, it’s even more poignant and important to give this special album a new 20th anniversary remix, remaster, and reissue. It will again feature John Dyer Baizley’s wonderful interpretation of the original cover art. Huge thanks for Dan and Equal Vision Records for their support and hard work on this project. It will be released on Nov. 21, 2024.
We are also overjoyed to announce our return to Europe! In the short time we have available, we will be coming to select cities in Europe, Scandinavia, and the UK in Nov./Dec. Massive love to Alex and Swamp Booking for encouraging us to make this tour happen.

But first, see you in Chicago on Sat., Sep. 14!

Louder Than… LDB

At LDB earlier this year, a lot of people noticed that there was a Louder Than Life table out in the lobby. Of course, this prompted a bit of speculation. Well, wonder no longer as we now have a 4-show hybrid event. Set during Louder Than Life, Louder Than LDB will kick off much, much smaller hardcore shows around town during LTL featuring some bands playing LTL and more. Considering how much of the LTL audience is older and from out of town, this is a great way to get some of these bands in front of the more active younger audiences as all shows are way cheaper and all ages.

Presale tickets can be signed up for at https://www.louderthanldb.com/ and available with code starting at Noon on Thursday, August 15th. Regular tickets will be on sale soon afterwards. These shows are likely going to sell out, so get on it quick if you are interested.

Slint – Tweez 35th Anniversary repress

Slint and Touch and Go records are gearing up to celebrate the 35th… yes, 35th anniversary of Tweez. Damn, you’re old right? There will be two LPs, one with the original recording and mix, and a special second LP highlighting a much-rumored alternate mix. Both versions have been mastered by Bob Weston at the legendary Chicago Mastering Studio. Pre-orders are up now and the release will be limited to a limited run of 3138.
