Tone Rodent/Kisser
During the summer of 2011, in the grueling heat, weekly meetings began happening in the backyard of Jason Hutto’s house. The meetings were eventually moved to various bars around town but the subject always remained the same, Tower Groove Records. The first order of business was how to get a double LP released and that eventually led to the Tower Groove Carnival which did indeed raise enough money to release the double album.
Now the agenda is a 7 inch singles club subscription series which promises to be every bit as ambitious as the double
album. They’re taking 12 bands and then adding 12 more bands and releasing a
vinyl 7 inch record each month for the year of 2013. If you purchase a
subscription to the whole series you can get a break on the price of each
record. Your first chance to sign up for a subscription is coming on Saturday
Oct 20. From 2pm-7pm right outside of Apop Records on Cherokee Street they’ll
have bands playing, food cooking and beer drinking all for your enjoyment.
While you’re there you can let your intentions be known that you plan on
subscribing to the record series thus saving yourself some money at the Tower
Groove Records booth.
In addition to the 24 bands, there are 4 artists
who have been slated to create artwork for 3 of the releases each. Jeff Robtoy
gets first crack with Jan-Mar releases, next up will be me for Apr-Jun, then
it’s handed off to Adam Watkins (artist for the double LP cover) for Jul-Sep and clean up will be Mark Stephens
for Oct-Dec. All this makes the subscription series special and a one-time
thing with a limited number of each record being printed. The painting above
will grace the cover of the Tone Rodent/Kisser single.
Here’s what you get for the subscription
The event on Sat Oct 20 promises to be a
memorable one with a great live line up. Stop by, have a beer, some food and
get a subscription before they’re all sold out.
