Early bird tickets sold out in a few hours. 100 regular priced 2-day passes still available but dwindling!!!

CanaDave did an interview with Idioteq.com about the history of the Zampler series.

Click on the pic above or this text to go to the interview, jam the Zampler below.

September 13, 2024 by David Norman

As for ZBR, another friendly reminder that we’ll have the Hallam Foe one-sided 12” lathe EP for ‘Funkapokalips’ on September 17th. 25 black / 25 clear. All ass-kicking.

Operation X-Ray played a song from every label CanaDave is associated with. Very cool! Split Silk, Bloom Dream, and Leavs were featured in this 146th episode <3

Right in time for CanaDave to lose his shit (he just got the Emma Goldman LP masters and is trying to cope with it’s amazingness), Edie from Everything Remade interviewed Felix (guitar/vox) from the band. You are not ready. Minds blown early 2025.

2022 - 06 - 24 /// Riversleem 7"s out and mini-rebalance tomorrow!

June 24, 2022 by David Norman

The new/incredible Alas 12”LP ‘Uusi Vuosi‘ is in transit to the U.S. store and premieres in full with pre-orders opening tomorrow (Saturday) at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. This record is one of the best of the last decade and picks up where Raein and Suis La Lune left off. Truly next level. Digitals/full release follows on Monday June 27th. Jam the closing track now on the Alas bandcamp. Co-releasing with zilpzalp Records, Larry Records, and Voice Of The Unheard.

‘A Debut Release By Riversleem’ by…you guessed it, Riversleem is officially out on 7”. It’s so good. Tomb Tree made two runs on cassettes cuz it was so good. Now we’ve got it on vinyl and we can sleep easier.

The min-rebalance sale was pushed to tomorrow due to a “real job” situation, so expect a few goodies in both stores at 9am PST along with the Alas 12”LP pre-order. But I put a few things on sale in this store (Canada/International) until Sunday night. Have at’em!

ZBR Tote Bag

CA$5.00

LOFTUS - Purple Zip-Up Hoodie (/10)

CA$60.00

Sale

LOFTUS - Orange Zip-Up Hoodie (/13)

CanaDave is officially finished the new and final cd Zampler for #19. 25 of the jackets had an incorrect tracklisting that was fixed after printing, so expect a little black and silver markerin’ going on with 50% of them. Here’s the cover by none other than Sammy Gurule of Warren Of Ohms. Sammy also did the most recent Not Just A Phase Vol.1 comp art! Very talented and prodigiously humorous fellow.

Horns Up did a nice Anna Sage review amidst some other great bands/reviews. Check it out by click on this text, and order via the embedded bandcamp link below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: ROTTING IN DIRT = Holy crap this EP slaps.
