STRAIGHT A's Self HelpStraight A's will be releasing their debut 18 song album this Thursday at Skull Alley. Also playing will be labelmates The Teeth and Sightings (from NY). Show is at 8pm and costs $5. Straight A's recorded this album last summer with the esteemed Trip Barriger at Studio K and worked for months with him tweaking everything. The results sound fantastic. Self Help features guest spots by Lucky Pineapple's horn section, Sue Crocker and Dan Moore, and extra percussion by Thommy Browne. Cd's are in now and we hope to have the LP's in time for the show. Straight A's will also be playing an Ear Xtacy in-store on Saturday, May 15th around 4pm. This is the afternoon of the Endpoint/Cerebellum show, so come on out to the store before the big reunion show.
CEREBELLUM
CEREBELLUMCoinciding with their upcoming reunion show (with Endpoint on May 15), Noise Pollution will be reissuing Cerebellum's classic five song cassette from 1989 (originally released by the Slamdek Recording Company). The reissue will be on LP and will include a digital download of the album. Side one will contain the remastered 1989 cassette (Fire, House, Winter, Marble, Calm) while side two will contain five newly recorded versions of classic Cerebellum songs that were never previously recorded (Begin, Guard, Hurt, Brighten, Crawl Out of the Water). It has taken a truly collaborative effort from everyone involved to make this project a reality. Much thanks to all the guys in the band and to recording engineer Trip Barriger for all their hard work to pull this crazy idea off. In addition to their performance with Endpoint, Cerebellum will also be playing a follow up show at Skull Alley on July 31st to celebrate the album's release. More details on that to follow soon.

CHIME HOURS
Chime Hours were active for a brief period last year and was comprised of members with roots in bands such as Hedge, OUT., By the Grace of God and Straight A's. Chime Hours had begun recording an EP to be released on Noise Pollution, but subsequently broke up which caused the release to be canceled. Well, Chime Hours have reconstituted themselves and the EP is back on! This EP contains six songs which serve as an introduction to the band's abrasive, Gravity Records-esque sound and will be available in very limited quantities. No release date has been set yet, but we expect to see it out by mid summer.

It's gonna be a steal really. The release show will be Saturday, August 21st at Zanzabar (2100 Preston St.)
