7" out begining of 2012

Finally all the cogs are turning! Our first vinyl release under Tangled Snark Records will be available by February 2012. The two songs, "Black List" and "The Hawk" were recorded late September in Austin Texas by Jason Morales (Tia Carrera) and mastered by Jerry Tubb at Terra Nova. We eagerly await the test pressings from Palomino Records: a little square dance record pressing plant turned rock and roll in the middle of nowhere  Kentucky. Our first venture into vinyl, we will be screen printing all the record sleeves and cases which are folded boxes involving no glue! (for those of you horse lovers). Pressings will be at 45rpm one song per side.

This Wednesday at Frank!

Come check us out at Ditch the Fest  fest 2 if you can find us! Last year was fun, we're hoping for the same this year.

Farewell to the Parlor

Holy shit we never thought our work shoes would outlast the Parlor. Sorry cody but it looks like you are out of a job and for the rest of us it's time to scramble. After 11 years the Parlor is closing due to an outrageous rent hike that almost doubles what the original rent was. If you have been to the Parlor you know that, while it has its charm, the building has no a/c and leaves much to be desired it terms of niceties we casual austinites require as surrounding accoutrements. Never the less, the raucous punk shows and extremely attractive bar staff of the Parlor North Loop will have to scurry to another locale for future intercourse with their adoring public.

I don't think that the Hyde Park Parlor (43rd and Guad) will be increasing the amount of live music it already has. During SXSW and other special occasions it has been known to shake the roof a bit with music from acts as big as the Riverboat Gamblers, to some as small as Cari and Jason. Still let it be known that the Parlor is not dead but rather, that it will thrive under the focused attention this will bring to the location that still exists.

Bitter Birds will play its farewell show on June 17th with special guests tba.

Sailor's Wife, 'the bastard sons or the Parlor' will play the following night June 18th on the final night of festivities. Please join us and raise your cups to the greatest rock 'n' roll pizza joint austin will ever know.
