august 3rd:

Servus,

finally a newsflash from Munich! First of all thanks to everybody that helped making the AUTISTIC YOUTH Euro Tour such a nice time! It was great meeting new and old friends on the road: Erik, Sara and Robert aka MASSHYSTERI, Jenka, Kajsa, Mighty Mateus Mondini, Andreas Thrashbastard, etc. etc. Too many to name... But most of all of course to Nick, Adam, Alex and Seve for being the coolest people i've met in a long time. LÄUFT!

AUTISTIC YOUTH - LANDMINE BEACH LP
The LP is doing really well. Thanks to all the distros that picked up copies. I have about 150 of them left, so get in touch if you need some. There's a bunch left in the US distributed by my friend Jason in NYC so if you're in the North Americas drop me a line so you can get em for cheap postage! The repress won't happen for a while because there's a lot of new records in the planning... I also have a few limited copies on orange vinyl left so get in touch pronto before they're all gone...

OBSERVERS 7"
I had to re-do the testpressings for this one. I should have new tests by the end of next week, if everything goes as planned this baby will go to the plant in no time. Please remember there won't be a repress, ever! So don't snooze! I will have 100 on green vinyl, as will "the band", the rest is all on black, 1000 altogether. My friend Bernd did a great job on the cover! It's a two color (silver and black) silkscreenprint on grey paper. Check his art and label at www.red-can.com . Since a lot of folks asked: NO, THE OBSERVERS ARE NOT BACK TOGETHER!

AUTISTIC YOUTH / COLA FREAKS split 7"
After much delay this thing is finally coming together. The bands are just finishing the insert art. This record is a cooperation between me and BLACK WATER RECORDS from PDX, NARSHARDAA from Kiel and, of course, my brother from another mother SABOTAGE RECORDS! The first press will be 1500 all on black so no limited mumbojumbo here...

UPCOMING RECORDS
After a head on collision with the Bakersfield LEATHERFACE Fanclub known as LOSER LIFE we decided NOT to have babies, but records together. The babies would have been too ugly... So I'm really proud to announce a European version of their 12" MY HELL! This version will be a one-sided 12" with some whack silkscreened art on the flip! Their next full length will also be a love product on TAKEN BY SURPRISE RECORDS! It is scheduled for spring 2009, just in time for their return to Europe. Everybody who has seen them on their tour here will know why I'm so excited to put those records out!

Since working with Franz from SABOTAGE on the AUTISTIC YOUTH LP was such a pleasure we decided to put out another record together! This time it's with BAD PARENTS from Long Beach, California! They play pissed-off HC the way we like it. We will release a 12" with some songs from their out of print EP and some exclusive new smashers. This baby is scheduled for the end of 2008. So write it on your christmas list...

Also in the planning is a BRUTAL KNIGHTS 7" and the 2nd LP by AUTISTIC YOUTH (!!!) and some other shit I will get to later, stay tuned...

DISTRO
Lots of new records are in stock. I added almost all of them to the webstore. I got the I WANT TO SEE EVERY TOWER FALL EP by AUTISTIC YOUTH in stock. It's pretty hard to get here so act fast! Stuff from HAVOC is here (REGULATIONS, RAMBO, VITAMIN X, FROM ASHES RISE,...), and also some P.TRASH records (DIGGER AND THE PUSSYCATS, MANIKINS, DEMON'S CLAWS...) lots of shit already here and lots of other records on the way. The more records you buy the sooner the new records can come out, get it??

Lastly i urge you to check out the BAVARIAN MAYHEM Blog for really hard to find gems from this strange country that I come from. Go to http://bavarianmayhem.blogspot.com and check out bands like REVENGE, STAGNATION'S END, WUTENTBRANNT, and many more!

Thanks and take care ...michl
