Above: Flyer for the City Center gig with Adam Pierce in Hamtramck this weekend at Lo & Behold. It's a release party for the "Welcome Low Flying Kites" cassette I just released on Adam's label Nary. You should come out, it'll be a fun hang and most likely outside in the grassy vacant lot beside the shop.
Below: A photo (courtesy of Geoff Walker) of the "Skatepark Edition" of the Lovesick/This Robot Kills 12" that came out in 1999. Of course the covers weren't done in time for the record release show, so Zach from TRK did 20 super-quick two color silkscreen covers and this was his design for the Lovesick side. There were only 300 copies total, and I only have one of the regular ones, let alone this skatepark edition. The skatepark edition has much-debated origins, but as I understand it, the term comes from when Necros played a record release gig at a skatepark and the covers for the record weren't done yet so they made up some crazy ones. This is kind of a Michigan thing, but I'm sure that it happens everywhere all the time.
whoa! i never knew there was another cover (i still have the reg. silkscreened cover, which itself is sweet)!
ReplyDeleteI steal my ideas! Where'd you get yours from??
ReplyDeleteWhere can we pick up this new cassette?
ReplyDeleteAdam Pierce put the tape out on his label Nary, and I think he has a few copies left. Email him at adam.n.pierce (at) gmail (dot) com for more info!
ReplyDeleteThanks Fred.
