Tonight is the night! SPACE Gallery will be hosting the Eternal Otter Records Vinyl Release Party. We will be celebrating the release of the "Death, Rebirth & Transformation" vinyl single series, featuring unreleased recordings by Cerberus Shoal, Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, and Blaque Boose. There will be performances by Aly Spaltro and TJ Metcalfe (past and present members of Lady Lamb), Blaque Boose, D. Gross, Over A Cardboard Sea, and Jesse Pilgrim & the Bonfire. Your $10 ticket will also get you a free copy of one of the vinyls. The Lady Lamb 7" will not be released until march, but you can pick up a free download code & album voucher in the meantime.
I feel really honored to have had the opportunity to release the music I love onto vinyl. I also have a lot of people to thank for making this series possible. First and foremost, the bands and musicians who agreed to entrust their music to this project. I'd also like to thank Matt Lajoe of the l'animaux tryst label for teaching me everything I needed to know about vinyl production. Kris Johnsen also deserves praise for all the assistance he has given me with various art and design needs (he is also the artist behind the Lady Lamb 7" cover). SPACE Gallery, particularly Ian Paige, has been wonderfully supportive in making this event happen. Dale Rand Printing and the Fun Box Monster Emporium are just some of the great local businesses I worked with to help realize this project. I'd also like to thank Bryan Bruchman, Matt Dodge, Chris Gray, Johnny Fountain, Roy Ghim, David Cimato, Robin Ivy, Dead Man's Clothes, Patrick + Lori Dennis, my friends, my parents, Arcadia Designworks, and many more. And, of course, my one true love- Alicia.
I look forward to seeing many of these wonderful people at tonight's show. Also, check out this article about Eternal Otter Records in today's edition of the Portland Daily Sun.
