News on the Auxiliary Records/Coliseum front straight from Ryan:

Lords vs. Canadian Promoters

2008-05-20T19:09:37Z

Lords returned a little over a week ago from their last tour - a tour of Canada that was plagued with problems. Pretty much all of the problems were thanks to the promoter, who didn't promote hardly anything at all, according to Chris Owens, who wrote up a long and entertaining diary of the events, complete with violence and drugs like any rock and roll story should.
Several places, such as myspace, have deleted or edited the story (which will likely be continued by other bands), but we're hosting it here until some Canadian lawyer tries to shut it down....

Lee Van Cleef - The Gentleman's Punch

2008-05-17T01:10:20Z

Dear Consumers,

Lee Van Cleef is releasing a record. It was put together by the band for
public consumption. It took one year and was done by the band. Sometimes
beer was drank and tetris was played instead of working on the album. 2007
was fun.

This record will be released to the world on Saturday, May 31st. A record
release show will happen. It'll be a a celebration of sorts starring the
aforementioned Lee Van Cleef troupe and local dynamos The Teeth. One more
band may play also. Mystery.

Terrastock 7

2008-05-13T22:04:58Z

Louisville, KY – Terrastock brings its spirit of peace, love, and the indie rock underground to Louisville’s Mellwood Arts Center this June 19th thru 22nd. With artists like Mono, playing their one-and-only US date, as well as Louisville’s Tara Jane O’Neill and The Photographic, Terrastock 7 looks to be the one festival this summer swimming against the traditional music festival current.

Terrastock 7 lineup will include…

]]> Oneida, Mono, Entrance, Makoto Kawabata of Acid Mothers Temple, Marissa Nadler, Bardo Pond, Tara Jane O'Neil, MV&EE with the Golden Road, Jack Rose and the Black Twig Pickers, Windy and Carl, Kinski, Damon and Naomi, the Bevis Frond, Major Stars, Wooden Shjips, Black Forest/Black Sea, Simply Saucer, Antietam, Tanakh, Grails, Linus Pauling Quartet, Plastic Crimewave Sound, Paik, The Photographic, United Bible Studies, Dead Maids, Hush Arbors, Ignatz, Parlour, Sharon Krauss, Helena Espvall, & Masaki Batoh, Oneida, Motorpsycho, Sapat, Rob Sharples, Kohoutek, Insect Factory, Pelt, and Kohoutek among others.

Full festival passes are $85 with single day passes going for $25. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.terrascope.co.uk/Terrastock7/Terrastock7_tickets.htm

For more information on Terrastock 7 visit: http://www.terrascope.co.uk/Terrastock7/main.htm

History: To date, there have been six Terrastock festivals. The first took place in Providence, Rhode Island, in April of 1997; the second in San Francisco, California, in April of 1998; the third in London, England, in August of 1999; the fourth in Seattle, Washington, in November of 2000, the fifth in Boston, Massachusetts, in October of 2002, and the Sixth back in Providence again in April, 2006. Terrastock 7 is scheduled to take place in Louisville, Kentucky on June 19th -22nd, 2008.

Each Terrastock Festival builds on the successes of the previous ones. The events are conceived in a spirit of peace, love and co-operation purely in order to celebrate the music championed by the The Ptolemaic Terrascope magazine and the Terrascope Online web community.

Terrastock is not an indie-rock A&R feeding frenzy. Bands and artists are there at the personal invitation of the organisers because we love their music and they love the way we do things. It's simply about the music, and about the whole Terrastock spirit. If you've ever been to a Terrastock, you'll know what we mean...

Frontier(s)

2008-04-29T14:25:40Z

I'm gonna grab your attention real quick....

There's a new band gearing up with members from several notable bands. Yeah, these days, what band doesn't have a noticeable ex-members list, right? Well, most of those bands sucked. These guys' bands didn't.
So here's to hoping that the premiere of Frontier(s), starring Chris Higdon (Vocals/Guitar), Eagle Barber (Drums), Matt Weider (Guitar), Brian Todd (Bass), is a smashing success.

You can catch them at The Pour Haus in Schnitzelburg on May 1st with The Fervor and Jake Winstrom, or on May 21st again at the Pour Haus with The Shipping News and Young Widows.

Trophy Wives

2008-03-28T18:04:52Z

The band has a couple of early demos on their Myspace page. The first was recorded by Chris Owens at Headbangin' Kill Your Mama Studios and features Eric McManus on drums and Nick Bisig on second guitar. The other was recorded by Connor Bell and features Matt Jaha on guitar. Expect plenty of shows in the very near future.

LORDS News

2008-03-07T00:26:11Z

LORDS "Fuck All Y'all Motherfuckers" will be released June 24th on Black

our Canadian tour.

Lords will also doing another split 7" and tour with Suicide Note in June/July.

After having played more shows and on more recordings than any official
