Divider imageSister Crayon Tap Kickstarter To Go On the Road With Baths, El Ten Eleven

“After working relentlessly for a year on recording our debut album, we have finally finished it. We are incredibly proud of our record but we are eager to travel and play our music live all over the country. We are here on Kickstarter because we need your help. For over 2 years, we have toured in very uncomfortable situations (in several different vehicles ranging from barely functioning to out of our budget rentals). After a solid year of recording our debut album, “Bellow”, we are finally ready to tour nationally upon it’s release. We have worked extremely hard and are ready to work even harder to spread our music to those outside of California.

So, here we are. We have joined Kickstarter in the hopes that we can find support in order to reach our goal in attaining a touring van. We want to travel the ends of the earth and play music for you! We want to travel to big cities, little cities, towns, villages, communities and meet you, sing to you, hang out with you! We want to experience all that music will allow us to. In order to accomplish this, we must have a touring van.

That is why we are asking for your help. If you can afford to make a pledge today it will not only help us reach our goal on Kickstarter but it will continue to help us for years to come. Your pledge will enable us to keep touring, to keep pushing, to keep keepin’ on. With your help, we will be able to spread our music all over the world.

We are offering a variety of reward items and prizes for anyone that can pledge. We will also be posting exclusive updates throughout the fundraiser-so please keep checking back for more updates.

We want to thank you for reading this and for all of you who have attended a show, listened to our music or given us a hug or high-five. Thank you for your support. It means so much to us. We want to give back to you. We want to come to your city and town and play for you and meet you.”

Love,
Terra, Dani, Nicholas, and Jeff.
Sister Crayon

Manimal Vinyl sets Sept. 14th release date for We Were So Turned On, a tribute to David Bowie
Proceeds benefit War Child UK

A project that began in early 2008 will at last see the light of day and grace itself upon the shelves of record shops across the world. What began as a vague idea of fresh and seasoned artists paying homage to the man who invented the art of reinvention, David Bowie. War Child is a charity that simply helps children affected by war across the globe no matter what border they inhabit. A charity that Bowie makes no secret about supporting. Within a few months Devendra Banhart (Megapuss), Vivian Girls and Carla Bruni all came on board to contribute tracks.

By the summer of 2009, the record had began to take shape when the addition of UK pop legends Duran Duran, ex-Slits Viv Albertine and legendary avant-garde bassist/musician Mick Karn were added to the roster. Manimal friends and alumni Warpaint, Chairlift and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros came on board by that autumn. With a final tracklisting that is as diverse as it is chameleon-like, just like the thin-white duke himself, We Were So Turned On has something for every Bowie lover.

All proceeds will go to War Child.

Divider imageTerrorbird Turns Four! Party Tonight @ MilkBar With Baths, Man/Miracle, Splinters, Sister Crayon

Epicsauce & Terrorbird team up to celebrate the Four Year Anniversary of Terrorbird Media! Some of our favorite bay area artists are in tow for the festivities (Man/Miracle, The Splinters, Sugar & Gold, Disco Shawn), as well as Sacramento’s Sister Crayon (who you’ll be hearing lots about very soon, trust) and Los Angeles’ Baths (who’s been popping up just about everywhere). All this good shit for only $5! We hope to see you there.

TONIGHT Thursday, May 20th @ MilkBar SF
1840 Haight St.
8pm, 21+
**ONLY $5**
$3 Trumer Pils All Night

Man/Miracle (Third Culture)

“It seems the only person who dances at shows anymore is the blazed guy up front. The thing about Bay Area-based Man/Miracle’s new song from their first full-length album, The Shape of Things, though, is that it makes me want to shelve my Puritan ways, join said guy, and flail my hands around.” Pitchfork

“The Shape of Things is an infectious collection of nervy songs recommended especially for fans of Talking Heads, The Feelies, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.” The Bay Bridged

“Oakland’s Man/Miracle caught us by surprise late last year with their stunning debut LP, The Shape of Things. With ten infectiously catchy tracks in under thirty minutes, The Shape of Things is that rare all-meat, no-filler album that you will find yourself playing on repeat throughout the day, subconsciously awaiting that self-satisfying moment where the last track ends and you get to start the whole affair over again.” 7×7 Magazine

Baths (Anticon)

“As Baths, Chatsworth, Calif.’s Will Wiesenfeld connects the dots between the sun-drenched haze of glo-fi torchbearers (Washed Out, Toro Y Moi) and the woozy beat math that lights the spliffs of Los Angeles’ Brainfeeder collective (Flying Lotus, the Gaslamp Killer).” Pitchfork

“If Toro Y Moi had the chops of Matmos and the beat savoir-faire of FlyLo, it might sound something like “Maximalist.” XLR8R

The Splinters (Double Negative)

“Four women from the Bay Area chirpily asserting their vision of garage-pop: less hazy than Vivian Girls, less vintage than Dum Dum Girls, less stoned than Best Coast. Just unclutttered, punky, and fun.” RCRD LBL

“Girl-group sounds-meets-90s punk attitude.” Gorilla Vs. Bear

“They perfectly channel the devil-may-care, DIY, girls-in-the-garage sense.” The Fader

Sister Crayon (Manimal Vinyl)

“The band makes gorgeous, ghostly tunes that blur the line between lo-fi electronics (drum machines, synths) and rich analog atmospherics (organ tones, human voice).” LA Weekly
