Just a couple quick things to report. First off, we're still hard away at planning Thrillfest 08, and it's shaping up to look like a pretty kick ass fest. Its going to August 20th-24th in San Francisco. As of now we have a lot of bands confirmed, and we're still waiting to hear back from a lot more. Among those confirmed are: Toys That Kill, Tiltwheel, Four Eyes, Dan Padilla, Tulsa, Surrender, Underground Railroad To Candyland, Shotwell, Robocop 3, Reaction, Off With Their Heads, and many more. We are also planning on having several pick-up baseball games during the daytime of the fest, so bring your baseball gloves. I'll have more details coming real soon. Aside from fest planning we're really excited about the next two albums we currently have in the works for this summer. The first one being a BLACK RAINBOW 7" I've mentioned before. That project is at the pressing plant right now, so expect it sooner than later. The other record we're working on right now is the SURRENDER LP. Fucking amazing peace punk from the Bay Area. Its gonna be great. And lastly, we're nearing completion on our distro catalog. Check it out if you haven't already, hundreds of vinyl and CDs available to order.

Lots of cool new stuff to report. As of today we now have the Onion Flavored Rings - Perfect Evolution 7" back in print for the last time. This round of 500 are all handed screened by yours truely. After this we're washing the screens and breaking the mold so get them while you can. Talking about hand screen printed albums... the Dory Tourette 6 color LP are finally done. Limited to 300, minus the 30 or 40 I fucked up real bad on. First 100 are on white vinyl. This one will also have an insert and coloring page. There are still 3 copies of the first pressing (wheatpasted cover art) you order in the next few days please indicate which version you'd like. Thirdly I'd like to mention the exciting news that the next project we're going to do (Thrillhouse #11) will be a Black Rainbow 7". Real stoked on this! The recording will be masted in a week or two so expect to see this one out some time around the start of summer. And last but not least we just started doing an online distro. Its still in works but check it out under the distro icon on this webpage. Rock!

Shotwell - Patriot LP/CD Available April 4th!!!!
Well, its almost completly done. The long awaited Shotwell - Patriot LP/CD is finally here. After several years in the making this 19 song epic full length album has finally been properly released in it’s entirety. If you got a tape or burned CD of Shotwell’s Patriot a year or two back, that was only about half of the album. Now its finally all together, mastered and featuring some fucking amazing artwork. Not everyone will agree with me, but I truly think Shotwell is the best band playing in the bay area right now, and this album completely does them justice. I couldn’t be more happy with a record we’ve put out! Also, come to the house for the Record Release show on April 4th featuring Shotwell, Black Rainbow and Pink Elephants. Show starts at 6pm, all ages. Rock!
The records are avilable for Pre-order now!!!
All LPs and CD's will ship April 4th!!!!!!!
Shotwell - Patriot LP $9.00 (postage paid)
Shotwell - Patriot CD $9.00 (postage paid)

After only 2 and a half months we sold out the Onion Flavored Rings 7" here at Thrillhouse. But while we're all out of them here, I think some of our distro's still have a few copies. If you're interested in picking up a copy I'd suggest going to No Idea / Revolver / Little Type / Fast Crowd / ADD / Alternative Tentacles / Dead Broke / Sound Idea / No Breaks / or Toxic Pop. Some where in there they should have copies. We will be makeing a new batch here soon but the covers may or may not be hand screened as the first ones were. I'm not sure exactly what we're doing.

So we're on the last leg of putting together the Shotwell "Patriot" LP/CD. This is really cool for us here at Thrillhouse cause not only is this the first duel format release we've ever done, but it's also one of the best records I've ever heard. We've set a date for the Record Release show here for April 4th. Save the date if you're going to be in the Bay Area cause this is going to be a kick ass show!

If you havn't checked out the new issue of MRR you should. There is a big article on Thrillhouse in there. Well more of an interview with a bunch of people who volunteer here. Its pretty cool. In other news, we just got the SHOTWELL Patriot LP test pressing today! It sounds amazing, I'm soooooooooo stoked on it. We'll post more information as it gets closer to being all ready, there's still a crapload of things we need to do. Lastly we're about half way done with screen printing the covers for the 2nd pressing of Dory Tourette and the Skirtheads LP. Its going to be limited to 300 hand screened 6 color covers. All made by your's truely in the Thrillhouse basement (so expect alot of fuck-ups, I've never screen printed before). And who knows, this edition might even have an insert, but no lyrics, that will never happen.

The new Onion Flavored Rings 7" just arrived today and its really awesome! 7 song concept record. Its blowing my mind right now. These are probably some of the best OFR songs I've heard yet! If your reading this in December and you live in the Pacific Northwest, you might be able to see OFR, they just left for a week tour with Tulsa. I'm not sure what else to say about this record, I've drank too much coffee and this record has totally left me speechless.

It really pains me to say but our friend Dory Tourette passed away on Monday morning. Don't really know what to say. You were loved and we'll miss you. Rest in peace friend.

Just found out today that the new Love Songs - Hot Buns 7" is going to be arriving here at Thrillhouse on this Tuesday. Man oh man I am so stoked. Love Songs is literally one of my favorite bands of all time. Before I had this store and label take over all my free time, I would seriously go to every show these guys played in the Bay Area. And they played at least one show almost every weekend. Furthermore, this 7" has two of the best songs I've ever heard from them, Side A will make you pee your pants, really. Its also coming out just in time to be on sale at Love Songs' 10th annual "International Porn Star Nuts Day" or IPSN Day, which will be taking place at the Eagle Tavern on November 15th with: Love Songs, La Plebe, Boom Boom Kid and Manville. Should be an awesome show! Also we're going to have an Aftershave Party at Thrillhouse on November 16th with Love Songs, Manville, and a few others. Dang, what a cool weekend!
In other news, the new Onion Flavored Rings 7" is getting mastered and sent to the plant this week, so we should be having that out by the time they go on tour in December. Also in the next week or two we'll be sending out the Shotwell - Patriot LP off to be mastered.

The long wait is over and now after 8 years Fleshies first album The Baby is back in print and on vinyl for the first time ever. The band has remixed and remaster the entire album and it sounds fucking awesome! These are some of the best songs Fleshies ever recorded...if you ask me. Alternative Tentacles might think otherwise, but don't believe them their full of shit! Well, maybe I'm being a little harsh, they did put out the discography of The Eat. Fucking kicks ass! Back to the point. There here and the first 100 are on clear green vinyl, only available through mail order and the Thrillhouse store. So get em will they're green and help me get out of what looks to be inescapable debt.
The other bit of excitement around the Thrillhouse compound is that we just got in the The Reaction / Neverending Party split in. These are two of my favorite new bands from the bay area here together. Probably the two best new bands to come out of the bay area in years if you ask me. All on beautiful red vinyl. Fuckin A man.
