Modern Radio Update.

8.20.08 Update

This update is long overdue. However, with all the happenigs of the past and coming months I’ll keep things brief.

This past Spring we celebrated our 9 year anniversary with 7 shows and 24 bands from the label’s history. Thanks to all the bands, venues, poster designers and everyone who was able to travel long and short distances to be with us to mark the occasion.

In conjunction with our 9 year celebration we recently released CDs by Portland artists Mirah and Yellow Swans. Both have been getting great press and radio attention. The Old Days Feeling received a 7.5 on Pitchfork and has been in CMJ’s Top 30 for the past month. Yellow Swans Deterioration has hit #1 on several college station around the country and received some great writeups from zines like dusted, foxy digitalis and tinymixtapes.

Vampire Hands, STNNNG, His Mischief and Mirah all have extensive tours planned this Fall. We encourage everyone to come out and support them in your town. You can get all the latest tour info on the shows section of the website and as always on the band’s myspace pages.

We’ll have more info in the coming weeks about upcoming releases and happenings for the rest of 2008 and 2009.

Thanks Pete & Tom, but not Justin!
