COMEDY MINUS ONE

Good people of the Internet,

I would like to introduce you to Comedy Minus One, a new independent record label.



cmo001 bottomless pit "hammer of the gods" cd

The first Comedy Minus One release is the debut compact disc by Chicago's Bottomless Pit, entitled "Hammer of the Gods." Bottomless Pit is the new group formed by erstwhile Silkworm members Tim Midgett and Andy Cohen. They are joined by longtime friends Chris Manfrin (Seam) and Brian Orchard (.22). Silkworm is one of the most important bands of the last twenty years to all of us at Comedy Minus One, and we're honored to have the opportunity to bring you this record.

"Hammer of the Gods" is soulful, emotionally intense, and often transcendent postpunk that is as inviting as it is bracing. It will be released in early November 2007, but is available for preorder now. The record will be available from all digital download services in October.

To advance order "Hammer of the Gods" please visit the Comedy Minus One store. In addition to the standard compact disc release of this great record, we also have limited-edition copies in our store of a double 12" pressing self-released by the band.

Members of the press and music bloggers are encouraged to get in touch for promotional advance copies of this release. Stores and distributors are welcome to contact us about stocking this record come November.



Those in the midwestern United States will have the opportunity to see Bottomless Pit live this fall in the following cities:

Friday October 19 - Cactus Club - Milwaukee, WI w/ Dianogah
Saturday October 20 - Coral Room - Madison, WI w/ Dianogah
Friday November 2 - TBA - Columbus, OH w/ Karl Hendricks Rock Band
Saturday November 3 - Brillobox - Pittsburgh, PA w/ Karl Hendricks Rock Band

The second two releases for Comedy Minus One will both be digital downloads of records by the unbeatable Karl Hendricks. We'll be making the first Karl Hendricks Trio record "Buick Electra" available for download as well as the 2007 Karl Hendricks Rock Band release "The World Says." "The World Says" is a record not enough people have heard, so we're doing our part to spread the word about one of Pittsburgh's finest exports. Hard copies of select Karl Hendricks releases should be turning up in our store throughout October.

Comedy Minus One also has a MySpace presence for those of you who dig such things - http://www.myspace.com/comedyminusone

Thank you for making it this far. I am incredibly proud of this new venture and I hope you'll follow us as we grow. Send us your address and we'll send you some award-winning stickers.
