With SLOBS making the top 10 list in Maximum RnR, Rome Romeo getting national acclaim in Exclaim! Mag., our signing of Amanita Bloom and a new band to join our roster soon composed of several Montreal music veterans, it's safe to say we've had an exciting first year, so we're going to wrap it up in style!

August 6th and 7th everyone should come on down to L'escogriffe to see some of our finest showcase their talent. On the 6th you will see SLOBS alongside new glam-punk band Naughty Girls. On the 7th come see the newest member of the family, Amanita Bloom, play alongside Montreal's hottest grunge two-piece Solids. Both shows are 6 bucks and will be accompanied by DJ Johnson Cummins.

In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for some East coast tour dates from SLOBS and Rome Romeo both making their way down to The Fest !

New Machette band! As you can see, we've been busy helping our bands figure out their fall touring schedules and releases, and in the process picked up a new band! Montreal's Amanita Bloom have gracefully accepted our offer to put out their debut full length this October, and we're all really stoked.

If you scratch below the surface of Amanita Bloom you hear more than the generic music etiquette that could describe their sound. Braised with punk upbringings, psychedelia, folk songwriting aesthetics and a longing for the youthful sadness of the early American bluesmen, Amanita Bloom are a passionate marriage of melancholy and optimism, dipped in a dystopian love-story. Pack all this in to a perfect 40-minute dark pop album and you have Amanita Bloom's debut full length.

Hi everyone,

We're really proud to announce two new releases for February 2010 over here at Machette Records.

We met with some 80's hardcore revivalists named SLOBS over at a dingy bar a few weeks ago and we came to an agreement that their demo cassette should become a nice 7". With a total of 6 songs and length of 8 minutes this 7" is sure to hit you before you even know what came.

As for our other release, again, after a night of drinking with the band, we are proud to say we will be putting out the critically acclaimed Milk Fangs EP by local electro-clash band: Cougarettes! The band was hard at work over the past few weeks recording a bonus track that will appear on this vinyl only! This limited release is set to be 100 white/400 black for the first pressing, so get 'em while they're hot!

More information on these upcoming releases soon!

Bonjour à tous,

Machette Records est très fier de vous annoncer deux nouvelles parutions pour le mois de février 2010.

Tout d'abord, suite à une fortuite buverie dans un bar crado, nous avons su soudoyer avec succès les SLOBS et nous les avons convaincus de sortir leur cassette demo en 7". 6 chansons en 8 minutes, 8 minutes de jubilation hardcore tout droit sorties des années 80.

Grisés de cette première victoire et toujours sur notre lancée d'ivresse, nous avons entraîné les incroyables Cougarettes dans notre galère et nous sortirons une version vinyle de leur EP Milk Flangs. Limitée à 500, 100 blancs et 400 noirs, cette édition inclura une nouvelle chanson bonus.

Nous vous transmettrons plus d'informations sur ces nouveaux disques, le temps de dégriser.

Yallah.
