hat das schon tradition? eine labelvorstellung am sonntag? blödsinn, wirklich im rhythmus liegen wir hier nicht. weder mit dieser noch mit jener rubrik. und ein sommerloch haben wir auch nicht. diktiert wird das tägliche klienicum-geschäft lediglich durch die aktuellste entdeckung. nun. boompa records . howdy! oder boompa productions sind in vancouver stationiert und haben einige bekannte künstler aufgelistet. aha- effekte sind vorprogrammiert. da viele releases in europa durch andere companies vertrieben werden, bleibt der ausgangspunkt, nämlich boompa häufig vernachlässigt auf der strecke. the salteens, matt sharp, leeroy stagger sind auf dem kanadischen label ebenso zuhause wie small sins, the [...]

From what I've heard The Robot Ate Me is a dude that performs with a dog's head on his head. Run Chico Run [...]

View original stupid photo When last we saw our Canadians heroes in the band Run Chico Run , they were reading the morning paper and enjoying a cup of coffee in my old apartment and playing their first NYC show to a too-small crowd . This weekend they'll make their return and The Mayan Empire has decided that simply housing, feeding, bathing, and holding hands with the B.C.-based duo simply wasn't enough, so we set up a show for them .
