The Barge
Split Series Vol. I : MGR vs. Xela has already received several
notable mentions in the online and traditional music press. First
off is a nice little feature in
last week's Boston Phoenix.
Secondly, an early review from
our friends at Nothing
At All.net. The split LP also received a quick and oddly translated review in
the Chilean online 'zine Loop, albeit
with a poor photocopied cover of the CD-Rs we send out as promos
(?). We'll keep you posted as the rave reviews continue to pour
in for this exceptional release.
You may want to reserve
your copy of the limited LP + MP3 package
now on our catalog page
before they are all gone. The LPs will ship at the end of this
month. For those of you who prefer the more modern and instantaneous
digital MP3(320K) and FLAC(lossless
codec) formats,
the release as well as our entire catalog are
now available from our fine digital distribution partners Other
Music Digital, Fina
Digital Music Store and Boomkat
Digital in the UK. Links to
each of these fantastic digital music peddlers are available on
our catalog page.

In other news....we had
our friend John "Xela" Twells in town this past weekend
and all of us had a blast! Xela played a total of 3 shows with
Type Label mates Zelienople and Helios. Mountains also joined the
bill at the Knitting Factory. Dave and I were fortunate enough
to DJ between sets at the 2 Monkeytown shows. The music and performances
were all fantastic and all three shows well attended.

Geoff Mullen's tour went
swimmingly. People came out to the shows and witnessed some great
performances from both Geoff and Eli. Dave and I went to the Knitting
Factory show on Valentine's Day. I actually brought my wife to
the show as our V-Day date....bless her heart. We were treated
to stage collaboration from both Geoff and Eli in addition to their
solo sets. I have to say that was my favorite part of the night.
The improving was top notch and they managed to kick out some solid
music that did not sound or feel like it was the first time they
did it....which it was! Dave video taped the entire set. We are
hoping to post the video soon.
Which reminds me.....Barge
has set up a You
Tube channel to start compiling video footage
of our artists, friends and affiliates. You can subscribe to the
channel here. Check
in regularly for updates. Also, if you happen to have any video
footage of any of our artists please contact
us....we'd love to
post it.
In other news....the Barge
Split Series Vol. I featuring exclusive music from Isis guitarist
Mike Gallagher under his MGR moniker and Type
Records artist (and
owner) Xela aka John Twells. The record is almost complete and
will be available on vinyl (with free MP3 download of entire album)
and hopefully digitally. Stay tuned for more information.
