"Iris Failure" Limited EP Now Out

...and by "out", I mean we have about 80 of them in a box here.

Since we've got a shiny new album on the way but never really got around to doing a proper release of our last little EP, "Iris Failure", I figured I'd give it an unusual treatment and produce a small batch of albums by hand.

The CD case is recycled paper, which I spraypaint stenciled, then stamped with a custom-cut "Disastroid" stamp. I thought it would be fun to go old-school with the insert, so it's a double-sided photocopy featuring art and info. The disc is printed normally (not handmade... the rest of this stuff took me enough damn time.)

Since there aren't very many of these, we'll be selling them at shows only... the next one is Halloween at the El Rio (with Juanita and the Rabbit and Mr. Gnome.) We'll make sure individual tracks are available for sale online too, on iTunes or whatever.

The next Disastroid CD is coming along nicely -- we're already mixing it -- and we hope to have that finished up by November, too!

Show on Sat August 27th

Down in the Mission, at SUB/Mission art and music space. We haven't played there before, but we hear it's pretty cool. Thanks to our friends in Narooma for inviting us to play. Apparently the show goes from around 7 to around 10, or so we're told, so don't show up super late and miss the whole thing.

Here's a flyer with a giant space eyeball in it!

Reocrding is fun

We successfully recorded eight tracks of sludgy goodness at Hyde Street. Next up: vocals, mixing, and mastering. There's a lot still to do but we're hoping to have this new album wrapped up by the end of October. I put it on the other day and my cats freaked out and ran away, so you know it's already pretty good.

Also: two Disastroid posters were recently featured in a Rock Poster Art e-book thingy. Not published yet, but it's a pretty fantastic book, and pretty humbling to be placed next to some unbelievable poster artists. I'll post a link when I have one.

UPDATE: Here's the link!  http://www.thewallbook.com/

Disastroid recording @Hyde street studio in SF 2011

The time is near !

Disastroid will be going into Hyde st. Studios to start their new album this month. They will also be releasing their last EP "Iris Failure" in the upcoming month. So keep your ears open for some new music from Disastroid.

There is more to come this June !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you were not lucky enough to get your face seared at El Rio on the 4th you will get your second chance Sunday June 26th at the Hemlock. The Hemlock on a Sunday when the sun stays out late and the air is warm, where else would you want to be ?

Holy Crapture!

Hey!, we know you are pretty bummed out about the whole "Rapture" false alarm thing. Maybe a little "rock and roll" here on earth will lift your spirits while you lift some spirits right into your mouth!
