In addition to already announced releases from Brick Mower, Giant Peach, The Only Ghost in Town and Make It Plain I would like to formally announce that soon Rok Lok will be launching a cassette single series featuring The Only Ghost in Town, Kevin Greenspon, Vehicle Blues, Katrina Stonehart, Jen Paul/No Lakes, Outside the Musuem, Blanket Truth, Stars Are Insane, Hanna Elson, Monogamy, Destructasaurus Rex and more. Stay tuned for the release date of the first batch!

My buddy Kevin Greenspon who runs the amazing Bridgetown Records is currently on tour with Ancient Crux and they had a huge stroke of bad luck as they were robber. Please pass this info along and please take a visit to the Bridgetown Records web page to order releases. You will be the benefactor of hearing some great music and you will also be helping out two touring artists who are in a tight spot right now… Thanks! Here is the email that Kevin sent out to members of the mailing list:

Just played some of the best shows I’ve ever played on tours, bookended by a ridiculous $472 speeding ticket in Oregon and getting one of our cars broken into in Seattle. Hundreds of dollars in cash, and all of Travis and Tyler’s personal belongings including toiletries, glasses, ipod, laptop, phone chargers, etc were all stolen. We just got the window fixed on our day off and we will keep going. If you can come out to the shows and hang out, get some merch, etc., it would mean a lot. And anyone who can’t come but has a few bucks to spare, we could really use some help with gas, food, repairs. It all adds up and will make this a little easier on us.
You can order stuff from the website to help out, or donate directly —My paypal iskisforkevvin@gmail.com and we can mail you some of our new tour releases when I get home. But for the time being it’s really rough trying to figure this all out. If you donate, I can also have Brent from Hi Shadow Records mail you some of our releases if you don’t want to wait for me to get home to mail off a package, just let me know.
Please spread the word if you can. Thanks to everyone who has set up shows on this tour, they’ve been amazing so far and we’re going to put everything we have in us into our sets as we finish this out.

Later this year Rok Lok will be releasing a lathe cut 7 inch for Kevin Greenspon. He is going out on tour so be sure to check him out.

Greenspon is renowned for his extensive work in creating sublime experimental guitar record after another. He is also known for his alter ego of creating layered, textural bedroom pop as so so displayed on his split with Cloud Nothings. He has released several cds, cd-rs, tapes, and vinyl many of which are on his own Bridgetown Records. For more info and sounds check out the webpage at http://www.kevingreenspon.info/
