PUNK ROCK Is About COMMUNITY: NXNW Release PARTY!

 

*WE ARE PLAYING ON FRIDAY. We were originally scheduled to play on Saturday. 

The best thing about punk rock is friendship. This weekend we’ll be joining some of our favorite bands to celebrate a release weekend for NXNW Records. Here is a run down on why you should come out @ 9 PM to see everyone rock starting on Friday at Katie O’ Brien’s and then come back on Saturday to have fun all over again.

Friday Highlights:

Callow – This smooth rocking Bay Area duo are celebrating the release of a new album. I normally don’t love music this chill but Callow puts me in a great mood and is not to be missed. Check the tunes.

Attica! Attica! – Aaron is a kindred spirit. I can’t recommend his folky-punk highly enough. He’s one our favorites in the country. We’re stoked to be rocking with him again. It’s been too long. Check the tunes.

Danger Death Ray – We shared our first 7″ with DDR and have played many a house show with these fine gentlemen over the years. Come see them play a rare acoustic set. Check the tunes.

Tuck and Roll will cap off the night with a high energy set sure to make your 90′s punk rock spirit come alive. Get ready to sweat. Check the tunes.

Details are posted on pc-pdx.com and our shows page. Here is the facebook event.

Saturday Highlights:

The Tanked – I have known the Tanked since their day’s in the Misfats. You’d be hard pressed to find a better drinking band in Portland. They will close the night in style. You don’t want to miss this! Check it out.

Sam Fisher – Sam is from Tuck and Roll. He’ll be ripping out a set of his new acoustic tunes. Check it out.

Matt Schoch – I dig Matt’s blue grassy new record. Check it out.

Danger Death Ray (electric set).

Details are posted on pc-pdx.com. Here is the facebook event for Saturday.

NXNW Records put our first 7″.  You can listen to it HERE or purchase one of the last copies HERE.

Positive Jams Cancer Benefit: Featuring Elway, Destroy Nate Allen and More!

We are part of an 18 track benefit compilation titled “Positive Jams” that is being released to aid Abra Hall who is fighting cancer. Positive Jams includes live full band Destroy Nate Allen recordings of Electrified and We Talk Occasionally On The Internet.  We are stoked to rocking alongside tracks from Elway, Absent Minds, Abolitionist, Pageripper (fools rush, partners 818), Southtowne Lanes, Matt Danger (Ninjas-With-Syringes), Hides and Don Peyote.

Dying scene had this to say:

The album is available now via Bandcamp for $5 or a donation of your choice and includes Elway track, “The Salt and the Sea.” Featured is a rare live Destroy Nate Allen recording with a horn and keys in the background, which they toured with for only a very short while after their latest album “With Our Powers Combined.”

Dear Friends.

Destroy Nate Allen – Perfect Recipe For A Smile

Recipe is our new folk/punk/sing-a-long/party record and was co-written by Tessa and myself. It is a very fun and interesting listen. If you dig our live show you’ll most likely love this record, as it’s full of energy, life, and very very fun brand new songs. Recipe also marks the first time we’ve recorded in a “studio,” and the quality shows. We’ve put our hearts into this record and we’re quite proud of it!

Nate Allen – Don’t Let This Smile Fool You

Smile is in all ways my return to being a solo/singer/songwriter. It’s a somewhat quiet collection of 10 songs I wrote alone on my great grandfathers banjo over spring break. I home recorded these songs in our apartment. They’re chock full of honestly, whit and homespun family charm.

11. Phil Collins
12. Don’t Let This Smile Fool You
13. 35, 35, 35
14. Guitar Strings
15. Glow In The Dark
16. How To Make A Girl Cry
17. Grandpa
18. Ain’t Gonna Rain No More
19. Suffer
20. Pardon Song

http://www.myspace.com/nateallenmusic has song up from this record now.

Both CD’s have been professional recorded/mixed/mastered and for the first time I can really say I see why people pay for these services. The quality shows. I can confidently say these are our best releases to date.

Recipe/Smile are being released on one CD to save on funds, in a few weeks. We’ll have a limited number hand numbered advanced CDR’s on the first leg out of tour.

Our last Portland show of 2009/Duel Album Release/6 Month Tour Kick off show is June 12.
