We have been foaming at the bit to tell you this for weeks but had to keep it a secret. JAXART Records will be doing an Official Showcase at SXSW this year with our fav east coast label twosyllable records! Let’s meet up in the middle and have some killer BBQ in Texas! Schedule below!
Man we have been buttoning down the hatches here at JAXART headquarters in Echo Park. Somehow we’ve gone from 113 degrees a couple of weeks ago to preparing for a huge rainstorm! Weather in Southern California has gone completely batty!
Good thing most of the LA music scene will head to New York this week for the CMJ Festival! If you’re going to be in the 5 Burroughs this week be sure to catch JAXART’s own Slow Animal – who will be playing several shows over the next few days.
We are so proud of how much attention they have gotten over the past few months. Now you can finally see for yourself what all the talk is about!
Cant make it to CMJ? Order Slow Animal’s “theFUNsun” 7 Inch now in the JAXART STORE! Only 250 copies were pressed and they are running out quickly so order yours before they’re totally gone.

Finally the site is back up and working! Damn malware attack kept us out of commission for the last few weeks. So sorry about the lack of posting while we cleaned up the mess.
just a quick friendly email to let you know that Slow Animal‘s debut 7 inch for “theFUNsun” is available now. I spent most of the weekend hand numbering and assembling each and every last one. Besides being just a bomb ass 7 inch you are also getting a small dose of JAX’s own blood sweat and tears.
Slow Animal leave for their tour this week and will be crisscrossing the country playing shows. Be sure to catch them if they come through your town!
Remember – ONLY 250 7 INCHES WILL BE MADE! So get yours quick before they are all gone!

My, we have been busy working behind the scenes here at JAXART for the past few months. We are very excited to introduce our next 7 Inch release from New Jersey garage pop duo Slow Animal. The seven inch is fucking noisy, catchy, and totally perfect for the summer. We like to think “theFUNsun” belongs on every summer mix tape you make this year.
Slow Animal will be heading out on tour this month too including a BUTT LOAD of shows in Los Angeles. If you live in NYC see them tomorrow night at the Cake Shop. Dates are below!
