'Lo Mates!

What's the craic, how's she cuttin'??? Seems like it's been right donkey's years since we banged out a newsletter! But we haven't just been actin' the maggot, you know, it's actually been jammers 'round here! So stay easy and get a bag 'a taytos or roll up a bifter, we're gonna rabbit on for a bit about the rake of cool stuff coming up around here!

You might have noticed that we've brushed up on our Irish slang in honor of this months Saint Patrick's Day? Don't worry, we won't go overboard with it like we do most everything else... we wouldn't wanna get you wankers all vexed and up to ninety now would we???

Well, March is upon us in all it's spring-bringin' glory, and I am pretty sure we're all more than ready for it this year! What a CRAP winter it's been... but as it begins to shrink in the rearview mirror, lets look forward to some of the cool stuff that happens in March!

- Mardi Gras is now taking place in NOLA, so public urination will approach record setting levels once again.

- March 8th is International Women's Day! Learn more about this HERE!

- Daylight Savings Time begins! Don't forget to set your clocks ahead one hour on March 9th at 2:00am to 3:00am. Longer days are coming!!

- Saint Patrick's Day! March 17th brings us St. Patty's Day - have a great DUI!

- Spring officially begins on March 20th!!!

So, lots of cool stuff going on in March on the calendar AND in Sheathland! We'll be launching pre-orders for the debut EP from Dust Moth this Thursday!! This has been a long time coming, and with the test presses now approved, we are ready to roll! More info on that one below :)

Actually more info on everything below, but we have to crack on, there's lots to talk about! And remember, if you go on the piss for Saint Patrick's Day and drink lashings of the black stuff, keep your cacks on and call the Jo Maxi, right?

Dust Moth

Dragon Mouth release update /

Brooklyn Vegan premiers Casual Friends

Thursday night we'll be launching pre-orders for Dragon Mouth, the debut EP from Dust Moth! The retail release date for this one has been bumped from March 25th to April 22nd, but all pre-orders placed direct through us will still ship out well ahead of the retail street date :) We'll have three colors of vinyl to choose from, as well as a CD version and the digital version. If you haven't heard anything off the album yet, our friends at Brooklyn Vegan recently premiered the track Casual Friends, which is one of our favorites! Check it out RIGHT HERE! You can also check out the track from their split 7" with Aeges that we released last October HERE. And we'll be kicking it old school style on this one and having a pre-order party over on the message board, so be sure to stop by and partaaaaaay once the pre-order launches!

And be forewarned ya blokes, we expect these to sell nineteen to the dozen! So pull up your socks and snag one as soon as the pre-order goes live, or else you'll feel as thick as a short plank for missing out! We ain't coddin' ya! Now lets keep leggin' it like a blue-arsed fly, cuz we've still got lashings of news to talk about!

Saint Boris Lost His Pot Of Gold!

As you can see in the picture above, Boris had himself quite a fortune in gold coins! However, he took a break from guarding them at the end of the rainbow the other day to pack some records in the warehouse, and that's the last time he saw any of his riches!! He thinks he may have accidentally dropped some of the coins into the inventory he was shelving? So be on the lookout in your orders throughout the month of March, because each order placed this month could potentially contain one of the coins! If you're one of the lucky ones that gets a gold coin, you can tag us in a pic of your coinage on Instagram, post a pic on our message board, or tweet us a pic of it and Boris will gift you a copy of a limited variant from our next three preorders!!!! Place an order this month an see if ye has the luck of the Irish!!

p.s. the coins have special leprechaun markings, so counterfeiting attempts will be easily caught ;) Boris knows his gold...

Message Board Contest

We're having a bit of a raffle over on the message board and giving away a VERY sexy test press to one lucky winner that will be randomly drawn at the end of the month. One lucky bloke will be given this beauty...

... a very limited test press of the seminal Caspian debut EP, You Are The Conductor. There are 10 of these in existence and all are looooong gone, except for this one.

How do you enter this raffle you might be asking? It's easy, just head over to the thread on the message board HERE and make a post about the album and discuss it's greatness with the other people that have posted. See? Easy! We'll randomly draw the winner from a hat, or bowl, or something, at the end of the month :) Good luck!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHARLIE!!!!

Everybody's favorite puppy, our beloved pitbull Charlie, turns 11 on Saint Patrick's Day :) Look at this adorable sonuvabitch!!! Lots of you have met him, he sends his love, and said to come back and visit him again soon!! :)
