Bandcamp is offering another “no fees” event on June 5th, where all earnings go direct to the artists.

To celebrate, we’ve put up two new BC-only releases on our Bandcamp page.

Both of these are Name Your Price downloads.

An unheard Silkworm live recording from Chicago’s Empty Bottle in 1994.

The third of four shows that Silkworm would play in Chicago across 1994, this recording of the trio SKWM lineup has not been released in full previously.

The Flaming Lips, Engine Kid and Jessamine also played this sold out evening. 

Recorded by Aadam Jacobs.

Mastered / edited by Matthew Barnhart.

Mint Mile’s “Halocline” single.

A just-recorded Mint Mile song is available as a Name Your Price download.

All proceeds from this recording benefit the Lincoln Square Friendship Center in Chicago. 

Recorded and mixed in a “couple of takes” at Electrical Audio with Steve Albini. 

Mastered by Matthew Barnhart at EA. 

Tim Midyett – vocal, baritone 12-string 
Jeff Panall – drums 
Justin Brown – pedal steel 
Stephen Howard – bass 
Alison Chesley – cello 

All The Rutabega sales will be donated to Breonna Taylor’s family.

Finally, 100% of any The Rutabega purchases today goes to Breonna Taylor’s family.

Breonna should have turned 27 today.
