Ghost Hospital is teaming up w/ Blast & the Detergents for a split 7" on Scotch Tapes/No Clear. The songs are at the plant, so should be a matter of weeks. Look for it late August-ish. Shortly after that will be Ghost Hospital debut LP on Florida's Dying. Rich is currently on the Everyone Gets Rich tour, so give him some time.
I did an interview with Monty Buckles from Lamps for Terminal Boredom. Check it out here: http://www.terminal-boredom.com/lamps2.html
Also, in case you missed it, I interviewed Rich Evans from Florida's Dying here: http://www.terminal-boredom.com/floridasdying.html
Til next time...

Summer Night UFO "1999-2009" cassette/zine is out. They have been going really quick so please get it while you can! ORDER HERE
This collection spans Connelsville, PA's Summer Night UFO's out put from 1999-2009. Little is known about this band, but I have known songwriter Jason Rohm for a long time and I think that more people need to hear this. I think that growing up, there was always that kid who did crazy shit that would stick with you for your entire life. Jason kind of reminds me of the kid that would stick firecrackers in a cat's butt or skateboard into oncoming traffic. And this isn't to say that he is a retard or an asshole, but there is something about him that is just fucking weird. And it shows in his music and art. He currently is a librarian in Connelsville, drifted across the US for awhile where he recorded some songs on this collection. And even did a few covers for this tape including: Wavves, Eat Skull, Woods and one of the most deranged covers of "Is This Real" by the Wipers I have ever heard.
SNUFO's sound to me varies from the time the songs were recorded. There are disjointed, fractured pop songs juxtaposed with some heavy screamers. For fans of Sic Alps, Eat Skull, Sebadoh, Velvet Underground, Iron Lung. Features a 32-page zine with artwork and lyrics all done by J himself for the first 50 copies. A lot of time was spent going through the 6 full CDs of material J sent me and it was very difficult narrowing it down to the 21 songs on this cassette, but we are VERY proud of this release and it was a long time in the making............................(there just may have to be Summer Night UFO "1999-2009" Vol. 2).................. ORDER HERE
In other news, I recently had the chance to do some interviews with Rich Evans of Florida's Dying Records and Monty Buckles of Lamps for Terminal Boredom, which should be up very soon. I will post the link as soon as that happens. Til next time, bitches....OW!

Some new stuff on the catalog page. Check it.
Got the Slippery Slopes jams and should be having this cassette in a few weeks. Them boys are heading out west for some shows in Seattle, Sacramento on DJ Rick Ele's Art For Spastics show on KDVS, San Francisco for Budget Rock 8, and more. Really happy to be putting out their tape, even though their drummer Rich is a racist homo that sells LSD to the KKK.
Later, we'll be putting out a 10 year retrospective cassette of PA's Summernight UFO. This shit is intense, and there is even a Wavves cover in the midst, I hear.
Keep checking back!

Scary Pink "Dope Sick Pilgrim" out now!
Next up: Slippery Slopes!
6.11.09
The next Teen Ape release will be a cassette by Pittsburgh's Scary Pink entitled 'Dope Sick Pilgrim'. I've known and played in tons of bands with this kid. He's awesome. Scary Pink's songs are lush, droning bum-outs that are sure to scare the fuck out of any unsuspecting listener. And yet the songs are totally beautiful. You'll spot the obvious My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive and Ride influences immediately, but under the reverberated swirley guitar are some of the most brilliant songs I have ever heard. Much love for this kid and his schizophrenic cacophany. Very limited press and hopefully will be out beginning of August. Keep checking back!
