Maybe that headline is a little sensationalist.
As some of you may know, one of our favorite venues in Albany, The Upstate Artist’s Guild, is facing eviction. We have been coming up with ways to prevent the worse, and one of those is by releasing Black Andy’s new L.P. “I SEE BEAUTY” a little early. The digital version is available here for $5, with ALL proceeds being donated to the UAG, minus paypal fees. Get it.
OUT NOW at our bandcamp site:
Black Andy: Kill Yourself (2011, E.P. LFK-BA004)
CONTINENTS (2011, E.P. LFK-CN001)
It’s finally here! That time of year when you bust out the Nirvana hoodies, mix your whiskey of choise with hot cider and debate whether or not donning blackface for your Mr. T costume would be a great idea. It’s also that time when yours truly opens his haunted email box & takes submissions for Upstate New York’s (and beyond) annual Halloween compilation series, ‘Do the Fright Thing’! This is year four, and as usual all apologies to those who didn’t make the cut.. Here is a fantastic collection of eerie music from some of the areas best electro rockers, punkers, noise-o-weirdos and folkies to make your costume party not suck. Enjoy!

As many of you know, we here at Lo-Fi Kabuki, every year put together a Halloween compilation. Well, Shane does most of the work, but I (Asa) occasionally pretend I do some of it. Anyway, we are now accepting submissions for VOLUME FOUR. This compilation always goes over extremely well, and garners a substantial amount of attention. I do suggest getting in on it.
BUT FIRST!
You need to know the rules, regulations, and rub a dub:
PLEASE NO COVERS. Originals only. I know, your band does an astounding “Monster Mash” cover. We don’t care. We want to hear your original shit. Be creative. Have fun with it.
We prefer local (Upstate NY) and regional (NYC, Mass, Buffalo…) acts, but maybe, if your shit is really good, or we have heard of you, we’ll consider throwing you on there.
We prefer song songs. With lyrics. The first songs we cut each year are instrumentals (or covers). That’s not to say we don’t enjoy them (1983′s “Lonely Ghosts” and Motel’s “Costumes Don’t Make the Whores” come to mind), but unfortunately, we have to keep drunken Halloween singing party people in mind.
Lastly, you might get cut. In fact, there is a good chance you will. We try to get everyone on that we can, and each year, up until the last day, we think we will, and then we get flooded with 40 fucking entries, and we have to swing the axe, and no, it isn’t first co9me first serve. It’s who we think are the best entries. SO BE FUCKING GOOD.
Send all of your submissions in mp3 or wav (preferably wav) to lofikabukirecords@gmail.com
