| 12.11.08 It's been a while since we have issued an update. Arclight is still rolling with the latest release by SuperHeavyGoatAss titled Nemesis being released in September. If you haven't picked up your copy there is no better time than now as it makes a great Christmas gift! It is the best effort yet by the band and you won't be disappointed.
In other news Arclight has team up with local band Pack of Wolves to release its second album Betrayer. This will be a vinyl only release that will include digital download cards with each vinyl purchased. This band has been getting quite a buzz locally and regionally and we are psyched to be teaming up with them for this release. If you want to find more info on the band check their myspace page by clicking below.
The album will be released March 10, 2009 with the band appearing at SXSW and touring in support.
There are still plans
to issue the re-release of Michael Haaga's debut theplusandminusshow. We are working out the manufacturing details which will be worth the wait. We are shooting for a mid-2009 release.
We're looking forward to a great 2009 and will keep everyone up to day with anything that is happening with Arclight. Again thanks to everyone for all the support!
CHEERS!
04.16.08 Been about a month since an update so here goes...
First off, for those of you that showed up to the Arclight SXSW Showcase we would like to apologize. We were booked at a venue that was not ready for what was handed to them. Due to several “noise” complaints we were shut down. There were some write ups about the event(s).
Austin Chronicle and
Austin American Statesmen
Again sorry, but it was out of our hands.
In better news we are very excited about our upcoming releases for 2008.
We will be teaming up with local act the LIONS for a very limited run of their second album No Generation. This will be limited to 250 copies.
Pre-orders will begin this month with this being ready for release in July. Don’t hesitate as we expect these to go pretty fast. Check the band out on tour as well. Touring begins this Friday April 18th through May 31st.
Info on times & place can be found on Myspace & here
The Fall will see the debut Arclight release from Lubbock, TX’s own Beaumonts . The CD is titled “Lets Get Drunk, And Other Country Songs, and if you are fans of David Allan Coe, Ray Wylie Hubbard and Jon Wayne then this is right up your alley. We are happy to have them join the Arclight family and I’m sure you will be too! Info on the band can be found at Myspace
The new SuperHeavyGoatAss album Nemesis is mastered and ready to be shipped off to the plant. Their follow up to 60,000 Years has surpassed all expectations. The album is solid from start to finish and fans of the band will be very satisfied with their second Arclight helping. Tentative release is scheduled for Fall with touring to follow.
And finally Arclight has teamed up with former dead horse singer Michael Haaga to re-release his debut titled theplusandminusshow. Described as "...new dimensions in heavy mellow..." this is not what you would expect from former frontman of dead horse, Texas' legendary underground avanté thrash outfit, however, it is a true masterwork of music written, produced and performed by Haaga. The release will include a DVD of the video shot for the song If And When.
Recorded over a period of two years and including nearly twenty performers, theplusandminusshow is a beautiful montage of emotions captured on tape. Look for a Fall release.
Speaking of dead horse, Mike has informed us that an anthology DVD is in the works and he would like to encourage all of you good folks/friends, & fans to share your personal dead horse show images, videos, flyers, and/or other related material, so they may be archived and possibly used as a contribution to this DVD. FOR INFORMATION ON WHERE TO SEND MATERIALS CONTACT michaelhaaga@earthlink.net
Cheers!
