everything is different, everything is the same

This blog gets more and more personal as it becomes obvious that sometimes (or always), I (Trevor), am the only one who writes in it! WELL that's how it goes, and things certainly are, going.

First, a big thank-ya to everyone who put music on or listened to the first Avocado Sampler. With full downloads and physical releases, there are almost 400 copies out in the wilderness! Amazing. You can still download it for free here:

Also, speaking of which, check that page soon for some Nixon Tooth (Moh Grout), HEKA (Nic Brodine), and Guy Law (Dan Onufer) releases.




So, I no longer work at Bear Creek Studio, which some of you may know by now. I had a great time recording lots of stuff there, meeting great artists, and learning a LOT. Yet, there were some differences between that place and I, so it was time to move on. Y'all should check out the last thing I did there, an AWESOME e.p. for the wonderful APOLLO GHOSTS:

And soon, I'll be moving to the great town of Anacortes. That is, as soon as the new Skinny Whiskers album is done. Hopefully then I'll move on to a new recording space with some super cool people, or just make lots of music and live in an amazing town. Whatever happens, music will be made and island life will HAPPEN.

Gots to go jump in the lake, thanks for reading.

AVOCADO SAMPLER IS HERE.

YES. It's here. Available for free via download on bandcamp or from AFR artists shows. Only 75 were printed, and 60 are already gone...looks like we're going to print some more soon. So, keep yer eyes out for a physical copy in local stores (Bellingham, Seattle).

avocado sampler upadate/download delay

HULLO!

The new Avocado Sampler has been born and will soon be available for FREE download. We gave out about 60 copies to youngsters, venues, organizations, music lovers, alike at the Vera Project last Friday for the inoculation of this new fine disc. Unfortunately, our internet connection is being SLOW and the full download via bandcamp will not be available until tomorrow. Our apologies to those who may have gotten the disc at the Vera and were looking for the new download!

More tomorrow!

luv,

AFR

a small update

so, lately i've been in limbo between a few different things..or well starting them i guess. there are a few potential things to come in the near future, including:

-femme uke album
-new cumulus recordings
-skinny whiskers album
-pan pan/skinny whiskers split 7" (already in progress)
-bluebird/drew's stuff (probably released on bonerkill records?)

nic and i completed the first real debut of his ambient/drone/found sound stuff a couple weekends ago at bear creek. hopefully we'll have that disc out in circulation soon. i'm not even sure what he's going to be calling the project yet (the myspace says duckfart...i vote for a new name).

oh, and congrats to sarah jerns & the pan pan crew for putting on an awesome show opening for the books last night!! that was an amazing from start to finish.

LUV,

trevor

p.s. skinny whiskers is playing our first seattle show next monday at new crompton with some siq bands.

overdue pictures & update

yes yes y'all, it time for some iphone photo magic!

a brief summary of events in the family/my creative life. daniel and I play shows, decide to go under the moniker "skinny whiskers" from now on. we play at whaam, garden of readen, and at woofest and make an about sprout EP of field recordings and a couple songs. nic plays under dr.buttz at garden of readen and the rogue, splitting ears and breaking hearts. i work as an intern/assistant on a swedish band at bear creek with producer phil ek. dan, jordan, and i get the bear creek house, moving in shortly and start pondering our new studio build. new femme uke, pan pan, and skinny whiskers material to be amongst the virgin crop for the new room (let me know if you wanna come!).

more new soon, for now, pictures:
