"There are moments when you simply see it, the future being so bright & the chemistry being just right. Originally from Massachusetts, the four youths are now in NYC, working on their music -- an incredible combination of psych, experimental & pop, something we call 'savant rock.' Flying have toured with such siblings as Deerhoof."

"When Japanther released Dump the Body in Rikki Lake in 2003, it seemed complete. However, something happened in 2005 to resurrect the Rikki Lake experience. Earlier that year, Japanther had worked on a rock puppet opera called Don't Trust Anyone Over 30, a collaboration with Dan Graham, Tony Oursler and several other artists. This rock puppet show debuted in Miama for Art Basel, and later played at The Walker Arts Center and The Whitney Biennial. Well, that's great, but Japanther felt they had at least one more punk rock opera left in them, and puppets, big puppets. So they conceived Dump the Body in Rikki Lake. This is NOT the original album re-done live -- these are almost ALL new songs! It is more of an updated version of Dump the Body in Rikki Lake. During October of 2005, Japanther played every Friday, two shows each night. A room was meticulously painted to look exactly like the album cover of the 2003 release, 11-foot high puppets were commissioned... the fight was on! The opera was: Japanther (music), Devin Flynn (murals), Dan Luce (puppets), UFO (mobiles), Elisabeth Arkhipoff (video), Eugene Tsai (lighting), Chad Nau (DVD and filming). Luckily they had the foresight to record it all visually; on 5 different cameras! Dump the Body in Rikki Lake (A Punk Rock Puppet Opera DVD) is a selection of songs from various shows during that fateful October, some music videos, a documentary made by Matt of Japanther called Punk House and three additional bonus shows filmed in their entirety! Double-sided DVD: flip it and pretend you're listening to vinyl!" NTSC format, region free.

"Enter The Good Good from Brooklyn, New York. It's not often that a band comes along that lives up to its name. The Good Good display a solid nod towards indie rock through a largely experimental filter, but for sake of clarity we will just call it awesome. There are 3 members: Natalja Kent (vocals, guitar keyboards, flute and other assorted instruments) David Penn (bass, sorta) and Peter Woods (drums, sorta). Unassigned exactly but up to all members: juggling instruments (megaphone, triangle, accordion) and various vocal duties. Furrows combines two separate EPs onto one CD: the self released green CD, and seven new songs just recorded for a split 12" that only came out in Europe."

"This is not a side project, this is a catharsis:::: as the pre continues... Memories of Underdevelopment formed in 2002, in between the shave clones, and the triumphant return this year of TL&SILA. Tom Smith (of To Live and Shave In LA), and Gerard Klauder ((Of TL&SILA (one of he numerous Shave clone bands)), decided they wanted to employ a slightly different project, one with a sonically bright approach -- what you set it to do, is seldom what manifests, one woman's aphrodite is another woman's ernest. This is original; sonically ingenious, and 27 minutes and 29 songs, it's listening similar to listening to a seriously fun mix tape with the spirit of a flip book -- sound fun? You betcha...ranging from beats, to glitch, to rough storms, to beautiful raindrops complete with rainbows."

"When Gerty Farish started out in 1995 they didn't know they'd become infamous... John Donahue - guitar/vocals, and Jess Daniels - keyboard/vocals... they were both fans of punk rock, and noise, cartoons, mayhem, yellow ducks, and all things cute and cuddly... they originally were hatched in Massachusetts, where they honed their skills, they then moved to Brooklyn in 1997, where the little band learned to walk... the script was written, and when they played, the air turned to one thousand little monsters, and creatures of all shapes and size...the musical notes became cartoons that lived in your ears...Jess's dream was to write video game music...are you getting the idea?? In 1999 Gerty Farish disbanded, and the world was without one more great band...but we have this. A compilation of all their 7"s, 10"s and 12"s here for the first time on the glorious digital format..."
