Been a while since you heard from camp JAXART. To answers your undoubted questions - Yes we still exist and no we did not move to France to follow our passion to study the art of miming. We are still very much a label and plan on being a little more active in 2010! More news to come.

In the mean time we wanted to let you know that Divisadero will be playing this Sunday at Spaceland with The Hectors, Seasons, and The Terrapin. The show is $5 which you cant beat. Divisadero play at midnight!

Be sure to pick up their Lefty LP now on iTUNES.

Rademacher’s latest EP out now on JAXART has been getting a few rave reviews around the blogosphere. Check out two reviews of the new album at the links below. Bellyflop is available now for just $3.99 on iTUNES.

WEB IN FRONT REVIEW

“The cool thing about performing a bellyflop,” Rademacherfrontman/ songwriter Malcolm Sosa once told Web in Front, “is that you know it’ll be pretty painful, but if you hit the water just right, it can be pretty spectacular as well.”

BOSTON SURVIVAL GUIDE

Having said all that, Rademacher has come out of this tumultuous time in remarkably good shape, as is apparent on this new release. Their music has a more basic, stripped-down sound. Musically upbeat, and with the same quirkiness and wistful, nostalgic, somewhat melancholy feel in Malcolm’s lyrics that first caught and held my attention.

First up is Mata Hari - the debut LP from Fresno based post-punk project Fay Wrays. Their frantic yet lush tunes are intense and automatically put me back in Salt Lake City circa 2001 when I was obsessively listening to Hot Snakes and Fugazi. Stand out tracks include “Weatherman,” and “The Word,” but if you ask me the entire record is a balls out good time.

Also out today is Bellyflop the new EP from Rademacher. The EP includes live favorites “Charles” and “Roll” and well as a cover of  Panty Lions’ track “Herndon + 99.” You can see Rademacher live in Los Angeles at The American Legion hall on Sat. Nov. 7th with fellow JAXART alums The Parson Red Heads and Birds+Batteries.
