Interphase Comp + Zine

So for awhile now I’ve been debating a new direction for Big Blonde. I’ve really enjoyed the compilations I’ve put together, and it gives me a little more creative control. At the time of this internal debate, Hira Mahmood reached out to me about putting a comp together. Now we have a badass release, Interphase, featuring 19 local bands and zine. The zine features articles by people in this scene writing about their opinions or experiences (which do not necessarily reflect my own duh). Pick one up in the store

I’m really proud of how everything turned out. And check back for more comps from BB. We’re most likely turning this into a seasonal release project.

Black Lodge Tape Out Now!

I feel so lucky to work with this group. Not to mention the show was a total blast! It feels really good to be making tapes again. This one comes with a special black foldout cardstock case. Tape design by Adam Bruneau. Seriously pick this one up now

 

OUTER GODS release this Wednesday!

This Wednesday, come out to 529 for the Outer Gods release! Show is free; tapes are $3.

Tifaret, Twins, and Deep Space (improve doom from members of Rapturous Grief and Order of the Owl) play as well.

These cavernous, doom sounds come from The Flail and The Wrathe–the anonymous duo behind Outer Gods. “I am the flail of god. Had you not created great sins, god would not have sent the wrath of me upon you,” said Genghis Khan before he decimated an entire city. Punish your ears in the most pleasurable way this Wednesday. Badass artwork by Jeremy McCleary. Two versions of risographed covers. Comecomecome!!!

Rapturous Grief/Cheap Art split release on Oct 5th!

Local denizens of weird n’ noisy powerviolence, Rapturous Grief and Cheap Art are releasing a split tape on Big Blonde. The show is free, and the tape is $3. Yep, that means you get HALF OFF all Big Blonde tapes if you buy ’em in person. In fact, it’s 2 tapes for $5 dollars. Come out and support DIY!!!!
