Well, it was bound to happen. Brown Betty, my faithful steed, was laid out to pasture last week. She was quite the workhorse, her meager 4 cylinders carrying me across the country on two tours last year.
Despite this sad ol’ setback, I am going on tour again in April. Still booking, but looking for me on the West Coast throughout the month. I should have some new releases on hand by then, including my new LP on Captcha Records, I Did What I Could With What I Had, and a new tape on Warm Gospel, You, Before the War. Keep on truckin’, motherfuckers!
As for Personal Archives, the new BOAR tape is fresh and ready to be held. Catch Alex on tour right now with Justin Marc Lloyd and Mass Comm, and in February with I Like You, Go Home.
Speaking of I Like You, Go Home, Patrick just sent me the tracks for his upcoming split with mysterious Peruvian rap master T Buzz. Pat slashes up pop culture, yells ’til he’s hoarse, and brings the noise in typical cathartic fashion. Featuring the usual mind-altering cover art from Dubuque’s dirtball extraordinaire, Victor Cayro. You, Me, and T Buzz will be available February 10, in time for the aforementioned BOAR/I Like You, Go Home West Coast jaunt.

Also on the way in February is the new Wilmoth Axel opus. Three albums spread across two tapes, Mining a Vein of Pure Electrum//Pizza Leveling Piano Party// Mining Annex is 120 minutes of pure joy. Instrumental psych improv jams, culled from endless hours of tape and edited to sweet perfection.
More stuff on the horizon, as well, though, with insurance and vehicle issues some releases may be pushed back a bit farther than I had hoped. If this wretched month has taught me anything, though, it’s STAY BUSY OR DIE TRYING.
