Around Town Collective

We just posted two new albums for free download. The first album is The Red Ribbon Brigade. This album includes 5 demos that were recorded in 2008. This will tie us over while we're waiting for the RRB to finish their first full album due out in 2010. The second free download is Zach Zeller's 'Spitting Teeth'. These are bedroom recordings spanning from 04'-06'. These were Zeller's first songs and we're excited to share them with you. So enjoy the new music and we'll see you all soon!

Ben Woodward recently posted a couple new tracks. Take a listen to them HERE. On a side note, Ben is an audio engineer up in Seattle, WA. So if you need your band to sound ultra awesome, send him an e-mail. Check out his work at: http://www.benjaminwoodward.com/

After joining the ATC family a few months back, Fera has been quite busy. He seems to always have a full lineup of shows and in the past few month has released some amazing music. If you haven't already, check out his digital releases on his Bandcamp site. If you're in the Northern California area anytime soon, be sure to check out one of his shows.

So last Sunday we had a show at Creekside At Mandy's in Paradise, CA. If you haven't gone to a show out here yet, you are missing out BIG TIME! It's the most beautiful place to hear music. With the creek trickling and crickets in the background, it's by far my favorite local outdoor venue. Shows are twice a month on Sundays, but they're kind of hush hush, so keep an eye out for more shows at Mandy's. Hope to see you there!

So Thursday, August 27th is going to be a pretty wild night in Chico, CA. You've got The Old Believers from Portland, OR who are AMAZING (not like, "oh dude check out my friend's cousin's band I hear they're amazing) this band is seriously great. The Nextdoor Neighbors, our own FERA and The Red River from Long Beach, CA.  This show starts at 7PM at Empire Coffee and bands are asking for donations.

Then hop on over to Cafe Coda. Starting at 9PM ($5 Cover) is Clouds On Strings, Strix Vega from Arcada, CA and our buddies Last Workhorse with new bassist, Daniel Taylor (Surrogate, West By Swan, Cold Blue Mountain, and the other 9 bands he's in) So it's a night you sure don't want to miss and we hope to see you all out there!

Hello, Zach Zeller here. My good friends Mark, Cody, Bob and Dan have formed a new project, Harlowe and The Great North Woods. It's one of those things you just need to listen to because it will make you a better person. I'm really excited to hear more material from this fantastic group of young lads. They're working on a self-produced record due out Fall 09. So add them as a friend if you have a space and look out for them cause they're going places.
