H'ohboy!
Gonna release the vinyl-only version of The Love Me Nots'
latest release, Detroit. It'll be a limited edition
of 500. Hand numbered sleeves, of course. I'm super proud.
Nicole has requested the vinyl be "Farfisa cream colored."
We'll do our best. Can't let a woman in silver go-go boots
down, now can I?
By the way, if you haven't heard Detroit, by god...
Do yourself a favor and iTunes-purchase that nugget of garage
rock goodness straight away.

Hi
sugarplums! I've missed you. And the "business"
of putting out records. That said, Project Infinity is pleased
to announce that we'll be releasing a 7" by Wet Cassette
(featuring members of Rolling Blackouts) sometime in the
Fall. Been thinking of steering clear of the one original,
one cover format as mechanical licensing is a pain in the
assk me no more questions... Will fill you in with the details
as soon as we get 'em. Which reminds me, I should email
those guys right now... Ta ta.

Geisha
Girls' 7" is available now. You can purchase it from
the STORE or from the band directly at one of their shows.
Speaking of, a Vinyl
Solution in-store is happening 28 March 2007, where
the band will have 50 Vinyl Solution-exclusive copies. Should
be sweet. We're also working on an L.A. release show--possibly
at the Smell.
Copies
of the 7" are also available from Amoeba Records, Headline
Records, Interpunk, and a few other places I'm sure.
Lastly,
I'm happy to announce that Project Infinity will be releasing
a 7" EP from Gabe's (ex-Starvations/Fortune's Flesh)
new project, Jail
Weddings. Gabe describes their music as "an updated
take on the darker side of the 60s girl group blueprint,
combined with mutant torch song drama." Can't wait!

Hello,
and welcome to another installment of NEWS.
The
Geisha Girls' 7" is nearly done, with artwork designed
by Metal Giant. Check out how hot the cover sleeve looks
on the STORE
page. Speaking of the store, there are a few changes. One,
if you live outside the U.S., please email us before you
order to get shipping costs. I haven't quite figured out
how to set up PayPal so that it automatically calculates
shipping according to destination. I'm working on it. Also,
if you live in CA and place an order, you'll have to pay
8.25% sales tax. Sorry, but we're legit now and if you don't
pay sales tax, the government will make me (like they did
last year). Definitely one of the coolest things you can
do at the store is PRE-ORDER the Geisha Girls' 7" which
will be released March 6. Just in time for the band to take
a bundle on their way to Austin for SXSW.
Up
next, This Blush's full-length platter. Sometime this Spring..

Greetings.
I've uploaded the new Geisha Girls songs on MySpace
which will be released on vinyl in February 2007. I figure
people will always find a way of hearing the songs, so I
might as well just put 'em out there. That said, I'm guessing
that the real collector will want one of the only 650 that
Project Infinity will press.
"In the Monotone" is a Geisha Girls' original
(unbelievable drumming!), while "Last Touch" is
a Middle Class cover. Sweet.
Let me know what you think, ya? I hope I'm making the record
geek in you proud.
As for the label itself, Geisha Girls' 7" in February,
This Blush vinyl-only LP in March, and I'm super excited
about the fourth release -- a 7" by UK's synthtastic
sensation, Treasure
Island Dizzy. They're huge fans of Bad Dudes and Chosuke.
Can you tell? Besides, you have to love a band that writes
a song called "Christopher Walken" (You remember
Colonel Angus, don't you?)
A more complete web site update coming soon!

It's
my sad duty to report that The Checkers have broke up. Unfortunately,
as they won't be around to promote their release, I've decided
not to press their 7". It's too bad, really, because
they are a great bunch of people, and as a group, they were
one of my favorite L.A. bands. I shed a pop-rock-bliss tear
for them.
That
being said, the Geisha Girls 7" is being pushed up
a little bit and will probably be out by December. This
Blush's full length vinyl LP will be out in February 2007,
and will have a completely different cover than the CD version
being released by IHeartComix Records. More soon(er) or
later...

I'm
way too tired to write more, but check out the ARTISTS page.
Our little roster is growing! I'm super psyched to announce
that we'll be releasing a two-song 7" from Geisha Girls,
as well as a *very* limited number of vinyl-only, full-length
LPs from This Blush. So yeah, The Checkers, Geisha Girls
and This Blush--all out in the next half year. Whee!

The
Checkers tell me that they've finished recording their two
songs for Project Infinity at Radio Beat studios. As soon
as the mastering is complete, I'll upload 30 second clips
of the songs here. Who doesn't love a sneak peak? Also,
if you're wondering, the cover song they chose is "Needles
in the Camel's Eye" by Brian Eno. Brian Eno. Checkers.
Hmm... Yeah, I'm curious myself.
A
few other new happenings--the 7" is now available from
Sea Level Records
in Echo Park, The Smell
in Los Angeles and Razorcake
Magazine.
On
the download front, you can now obtain the Bad Dudes' songs
from Napster and Rhapsody. iTunes and eMusic are on the
way.
Lastly,
Ryan Leach from LA Weekly wrote a really sweet preview pick
for Bad Dudes' upcoming show at the Smell. He squeaked in
some nice words about their Project Infinity release, too.
Many thanks to this soldier of rock and roll. I've added
a PRESS section to each of the band's pages (cheerful optimism)
where you can check that out, or you can just go HERE.

The
7" is now available at Amoeba
Records in Los Angeles. Go get one now before the release
date of July 18.
Also,
our distributor, Disgruntled
Music, was just sent a stash. The Bad Dudes sound will
now be making its way all over the world via this little
single. Excellent.

Lots
of good news:
It's
finally here -- Bad Dudes' "one original, one cover".
We're taking pre-orders NOW,
which will be shipped on 07/18. 400 7"s are on black
wax, 200 are on Starburst-flavored half pink/half orange
wax, and there's a super special limited number of 50 on
white wax. All come with hand-numbered sleeves.
For
you tech-heads, fee-based downloads will be available within
the next month through iTunes, Napster and Rhapsody. I'm
working on getting them on eMusic, as well. I'll post here
and on the MySpace
page when that happens. For now, though, in anticipation
of having your own handmade CD of the two Bad Dudes' songs,
feel free to download the artwork HERE.
In
print news, I interviewed Bad Dudes for Razorcake
magazine a few months ago, and that issue will be available
on newsstands next week. Razorcake has 50 copies of the
7" to give away with the purchase of a zine subscription.
I
also wanted to let you know that I'm trying to set up a
release show at the Smell for August 03. Again, more info
once that's a definite go.
Lastly,
once the records are officially released you should be able
to purchase them at Amoeba,
Interpunk, and (I'm
working on) Midheaven.
The band will have a bunch at shows, too.
Next
up, The
Checkers, and the vinyl-only version of This
Blush's full length.
I'm
so geeked.

Project
Infinity t-shirts are now available for purchase in the
STORE.
I had to do get some product going as it seems like the
Bad Dudes 7" is taking an eternity. Needless, John
from Geisha
Girls screened them for me, and I have say -- they're
pretty sweet. Black tees with a dark baby blue PI logo.
Just $7ppd.

Hello.
The website's only part-way there, but I'm pretty proud
of the work Hillary
Johnson's done so far, and I wanted to show it off a
little. There's more good stuff to come in the next month
or so, but while you're here, check out the 30 second clips
of the two Bad Dudes' songs and let me know what you think.
7"
coming soon, along with a celebratory record release show.

I
was in the studio today with Bad Dudes where they recorded
two songs for Project Infinity with Ted Scarlett. Bands
looking to record with a Pro Tools set up for cheap, do
yourself a favor and check out Le
Sweatshop -- a great little studio in Eagle Rock where
you can record for $150 a day!
I've known Dan and Brady for awhile now as I was a huge
fan of their previous band Miracle
Chosuke, but have not really spent a good amount of
time with them on a social level. Needless to say, all of
the Dudes are rock-solid charmers who possess massive amounts
of talent and charisma. I
don't think I have to tell you that their two songs sound
amazing! I'm blown away, and can't wait for you to hear
them.
As for actual label stuff, with the help of a new friend
from Plastic
Idol Records, I've found an affordable place to press
vinyl (Pirates Press).
That said, I've happily nixed the idea of releasing CDs
and am going to press the music on colored wax. The collector
in me is pscyhed! As for you iPoders, fee-based, MP3 downloads
will be available, along with downloadable artwork.
