Subjective Collective

After five years of recording and playing shows blank blank will be playing it’s final one on July 9th at the Green Bean, downtown Greensboro. They will perform along with Invisible and it will be their last show as well.
At the same show, blank blank will release its fourth and final CD, new songs written over the past two years. Come hear them for the last time and get a copy of the final release.

In future release land we have a three way split between Kaleidoscope Death, Summer Camp Casanova, and Secret Message Machine coming out in August.

Casual Curious is also planning on recording their first full length album.

Secret Message Machine is working on their third full length CD.

And finally, the end of 2009 will mark five years of Subjective Collective and we will mark this occasion with a compilation of the best recordings made by the musical mafia and friends.

Now you don’t have to walk around town searching for flyers in bar windows or coffee shop doors (although you can still do this if you prefer). Square One has a website with an easy to read schedule of events. Visit now, visit often.

The Embarrassing Fruits new five song EP The First Time is out now. It was recorded by the Fruits in The Owl Room Studio at the Trekky House. The release show at Local 506 in Chapel Hill was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. They had those kids head banging and slamming into one another and it left me with a giant nostalgic grin.

From Ian Miller, Independent Weekly:
While listening to The First Time EP, the Trekky Records debut from Chapel Hill trio Embarrassing Fruits, certain physical sensations drift in and out: There’s the smell of a packed club in the summer heat, the feeling of wind rushing past your ears in a roofless car and the feeling of déjà vu. But this is a welcome sort of nostalgia, a re-simplification of indie rock that harkens to early ’90s touchstones. Think Pavement on sedatives. Think Dinosaur Jr. without the feedback.
