NEW GAUZE!

The vinyl version of the New GAUZE "Binbou Yusuri No Rizumu Ni Notte " 12" LP PRANK 100 Will be out in a few weeks.
WE"RE NOT READY TO TAKE INDIVIDUAL MAILORDERS OR PRE ORDERS( Mainly because a bunch of the other stuff might hit at the same time and we'd rather pack one order as opposed to two or three) but We are taking reservations if Stores or Distros want to purchase these directly from us, Since They are a bit more than usual prank prices. There's a ten piece minimum and they must be paid for in advance. Contact us for details. There are only 1100 first press and they WILL sell out immediately.

The Fifth LP from Tokyo, Japanese Hardcore legends, GAUZE. Since 1981 GAUZE have played some of the world's most intense hardcore punk, and at this point might hold the title of the World's greatest continually playing, original 1980's hardcore band . A "Living tradition" of Japanese hardcore that has never mellowed with age, GAUZE have played monthly in Tokyo for 27 years, devoting most of their energy to their Live performances . Many of their songs are hammered out at their Live shows long before their sporadic recorded releases ( their last release was ten years ago!).GAUZE's songs just seem to get FASTER with each record, and the blinding ten tracks here are no exception. Issued in Japan in late 2007 as a CD- only release, this is one of GAUZE's rawest recording yet and it's first appearance on vinyl.

GET STOKED!

JUNE 2008! New AVSKUM!

SOCIAL CIRCKLE, NEEDLES MAY 9TH SHOW + MAY 10th PUNK RECORD SWAP IN OAKLAND!

Boston's SOCIAL CIRKLE are headed here for a show at THEE PARKSIDE1600 17th St. at Wisconsin, San Francisco, CA
on May 9th.Show is all ages and $7. SOCIAL CIRKLE have a couple of records on the Fantabulous NO WAY RECORDS. (Click through to their site and check out details for No Way's Summer fest in Richmond if you're on the East coast. )

Also on this May 9th gig are NEEDLES which is a new Bay Area supergroup featuring Jim and Bandito from TALK IS POISON and Martin and Scott from LIMP WRIST. They released an awesome 7" on Lengua Armada called " Twisted Vision" which has elements of LBAL, CRUDOS and the previous mentioned bands and is already one of this year's "Must get" records.

FIX MY HEAD from Oakland, YELLOW EYES (Which features Shane from Dead and Gone and ex-members / MD 20/20 / Santorum) are also playng and CITIZENS ON PATROL (from So. Cal.) and SOCIAL SICKNESS (from So. Cal.) will be doing a split set. I'd give Scott from needles a hard time here about the continued " too much horror business" / LIMP WRIST Urinal Themed flyer , but hey this show is his Birthday! Bring him gifts!

Then Next day /Night Negative tom is hosting a Punk record swap May 10 at a warehouse in oakland at 2515 san pablo ave From 12-6pm.

It's Free to set up and free to shop....everythings free.. "except the records."- It's free to set up and sell ( though bringing Your own table and Change is recommended), to carry in a box of records or bring in a couple of cruddy records you want to trade in.

Then that night at the same spot there's a show with:
FOLLOW BLINDLY( record Release)
SHANGHAI SURPRISE ( Record Release)
IMPEDIMENTS ( Record Release)
SOCIAL CIRCKLE ( bring cash to buy their stuff and donate for Gas money)
FUNERAL SHOCK
+ maybe "some other bands"
