The Record Machine

Today is the day we all have been very excited about. State Bird’s Mostly Ghostly is now available for purchase. We posted a few videos in the media section from their fall tour and a live video of them preforming A Voice As Old As Fire acousticly. Also the press just keeps rolling in.

Perfect Porridge:

The frantic call and response, energetic clapping and horn charts make me want to jump on stage and rock out. Unfortunately I’m sitting in a cube with headphones on scaring my neighbors.

Mostly Ghostly presents glorious, full-bodied tracks that swell with a plethora of instrumentation and gospel-like choruses.

The Record Machine is proud to welcome Interstates to the label. We are really excited to have them join our family. They are going to be releasing their debut full length in the spring. They will be on tour with Foxhole in May. There are a few rough mixes of songs on their website at www.interstatesmusic.com.

Also welcome to our new website. Enjoy!

The Record Machine is very excited to show off the video for The Winston Jazz Routine’s- A Ghost Beneath The Tower. It was directed by our good friend Philip Cheaney. Philip poured himself into this video and has been working on it for about 8-9 months. He did a great job and we ask that you pass along the video to your friends.

State Bird is going out on tour of the East Coast and Midwest in November. It will be their first time out East and then they will be hitting up many familar places in the Miwest. You will be able to pre-order their new record Mostly Ghostly in February. You can hear some new songs from Mostly Ghostly on their Myspace

We got a little local love from the Pitch for our showcase with State Bird, Winston Jazz Routine and Discover America next week at The Record Bar here in Kansas city. If you have some time you can check out the article here.

Also State Bird and Winston Jazz Routine are still out on tour with Discover America. Go check out the tour if it is stopping in your city.

The Winston Jazz Routine have returned from tour. The tour was a sucess. Thank you if you made it out to one of the shows. They played some great shows with Husband and Wife, State Bird, Minus Story, Darling at Sea, Olympic Size, Comrade, Homer Hicolm and The Rocket Boys and probably others I am leaving out.Their new record is slated for a May release. We are really excited for you to be able to hear some of the new songs.

Every Gentle Air has been getting some nice press. AP Magazine(Fall Out Boy is on the cover) was nice enough to review Part 2. They gave them 4 out of 5 stars and called it “Inventive, creative, and never lacking in left turns.”

State Bird is working on their follow up to their self released Marching Thru The Wilderness.
They have been getting great reviews for Marching. Check out new reviews at Silent Uproar and Neufutur. Everything we have heard about the new record only makes us more excited for it.

The Pitch Weekly and Jason Harper were nice enough to comment on us for their hopes for the new year. Hopefully we will finally put out a another KC band in 2007.
