Good people of the Internet,
Hello again from Comedy Minus One, an independent record label. It has been a while, hasn’t it?
We have two new releases and some additions to our roster to announce this time out.
cmo016 Tre Orsi “Devices + Emblems” digital download
Coming June 8, 2010.
Tre Orsi is a trio from Denton, Texas that plays tense, dynamic rock music. We’re thrilled to welcome them to the Comedy Minus One family. The band has toured with Magnolia Electric Company, The New Year, Minus Story, Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, and Nina Nastasia. To date they have released the “no. 7” single and have appeared on the outstanding Matador Records regional compilation “Casual Victim Pile.”
“Devices + Emblems” is their debut full-length, produced by Bubba Kadane of The New Year and Bedhead. This release will be available digitally June 8, 2010, but a limited vinyl pressing of this album is currently in stock in the Comedy Minus One store. Order one!
The digital version of “Devices + Emblems” contains the band’s first single as bonus tracks.
Please download the Tre Orsi’s song “The Engineer” here with our compliments.
cmo015 Bottomless Pit “Blood Under The Bridge” cd / digital download
Coming August 10, 2010.
We’re proud to let those of you reading these words know that the new Bottomless Pit album “Blood Under The Bridge” will be released in the compact disc and digital formats on Comedy Minus One come August 10, 2010.
Like with their highly acclaimed debut record “Hammer of the Gods,” Bottomless Pit will self-release a 2×12″ edition that we will stock with pleasure in our store.
Please download the Bottomless Pit song “38 Souls,” which closes the new record, here.
Those in Chicago can see Bottomless Pit with Monotonix at Schuba’s on April 19.
Also available, at the unconscionable price of $10 for two cds packed with 29 covers, is the Silkworm tribute album “An Idiot To Not Appreciate Your Time.” Featuring songs by The Kadane Brothers, Treasure State, Tre Orsi, The Soft Drugs, Steve Albini & Heather Whinna, .22, The Kyle Sowashes and many more, this collection pays respect to one of the 20th century’s great American rock bands. You can pick up a copy here.
Comedy Minus One has a a Facebook page, a Twitter handle and MySpace presence for those of you who dig such things. More frequent bursts of news can be found there or on the Comedy Minus One blog.
Members of the press and music bloggers are encouraged to get in touch for promotional copies of these releases or if you want to write about what we’re up to.
