UPDATE 11.02.08

If you're reading this you no doubt saw the gorgeous release show poster on the splash page. Super-kudos to to JP (www.makenonsense.com) for the art and Rob (www.jealousbutcher.com) for his screening handiwork. This is a FREE SHOW happening Nov 21st at Dante's right here in drizzly Portland, Oregon. STIFFWIFF, Sabertooth and Wroom will each celebrate the release of their new LPs! Opening the show will be D.L.Sparks who is recording his ARRCO debut set for release early next year. Anyone purchasing an LP at the show gets one of these limited edition posters. Hope to see you there!

ARRCO would like to welcome The Life and Times into the family. Their sophomore effort 'Tragic Boogie' is a dazzling sonic onslaught and will be out on LP and CD in February. Now...let's have some of that KC, MO BBQ!

VINYL! VINYL! VINYL! We're going old school and have several forthcoming releases on LP. Talkdemonic's latest 'Eyes At Half Mast' is out on white vinyl w/ CD enclosed. STIFFWIFF's 'Un' is a mind-melting affair and comes with gorgeous packaging, CD, and limited-edition poster. Larry Norman's 'The Anthology' is out on double-gatefold, 180-gram vinyl with limited edition sticker and both Sabertooth (180 gram) and Wroom (double-gatefold, clear vinyl) will see LP-only releases (both with CD enclosed). One of our favorite ARRCO releases of all-time The Ecclesia's 'Birdsong Over The Interior Castle' will also be issued on 180-gram LP November 25th. The Boggs 'Forts' will be available on 180-gram LP w/ limited edition 7'' white label promo in early 2009.

DA's 'Darn Floor-Big Bite' re-issue hits stores on Nov 25th. This lesser-heard classic is now back in print after 20 years and comes w/ bonus CD of interviews, outtakes, and more! Check back for pre-sale info.

ARRCO just returned from NYC and have signed The Twang. Their debut release 'Love It When I Feel Like This' is set for release in early 2009. This Birmingham, UK-based band have sold over 250,000 copies back home and we were honored to have shared several tequilas (ouch!), Sambucas (yuck!), and Bistro burgers (yum!) with them to toast the occasion.

Pilot to Gunner have recorded a new ROCK album that will hopefully be out by Spring 2009. The band's Scott Padden and Patrick Hegarty served as wing-men during ARRCO's recent triumphant return to The City.

ARRCO is currently working on reissues from Winter Hours, Carnival Season, and The Primitons.

Please support your local/independent record shops and labels!
