Auxiliary, Coliseum News

Coliseum at Keswick in Louisville - photo: Bryan VolzNews on the Auxiliary Records/Coliseum front straight from Ryan:
A limited edition 2×7” reissue of the Goddamage EP is coming out on Auxiliary in August, with preorders beginning on Shirt Killer in July. The 12” version is now out of print (good job guys!) and the 2×7” is a one-time pressing of 1000 copies (with three different colored vinyl options) before the 12” makes its return.
After that, there is talk about possible releases from Lords, Plows, Brain Banger, and Dark Overlords… Let’s hope that this happens!

Lords vs. Canadian Promoters

Lords returned a little over a week ago from their last tour – a tour of Canada that was plagued with problems. Pretty much all of the problems were thanks to the promoter, who didn’t promote hardly anything at all, according to Chris Owens, who wrote up a long and entertaining diary of the events, complete with violence and drugs like any rock and roll story should.
Several places, such as myspace, have deleted or edited the story (which will likely be continued by other bands), but we’re hosting it here until some Canadian lawyer tries to shut it down….

Lee Van Cleef – The Gentleman’s Punch

Dear Consumers,
Lee Van Cleef is releasing a record. It was put together by the band for
public consumption. It took one year and was done by the band. Sometimes
beer was drank and tetris was played instead of working on the album. 2007
was fun.
This record will be released to the world on Saturday, May 31st. A record
release show will happen. It’ll be a a celebration of sorts starring the
aforementioned Lee Van Cleef troupe and local dynamos The Teeth. One more
band may play also. Mystery.
