US TWO RECORDS album update:

US TWO RECORDS ‘02' BATWINGS / WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH - "Dr. Ohm vs. The Exploding Amp" / "Houston Voice"

US TWO RECORDS second split vinyl release "02" brings together San Diego's BATWINGS and Austin's WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH. Run in a limited batch of 500 copies (300 transparent red with black bleed & silver splatter and 200 black with silver splatter), this technique was a first for Pirate's Press and also their "Record of the Week" ending on July 17th, 2009.

Batwings showcases the track "Dr. Ohm vs. The Exploding Amp" which highlights their spastic hardcore sound influenced from early 2000 SoCal underground acts such as The Locust, Holy Molar and Le Shok. "Dr. Ohm vs. The Exploding Amp" was recorded by Batwings: Robert Lopez - Bass/Keys/Vox, Bryan Oczkowski - Guitar/Vox, Larry Stage - Guitar and Sebastian Ulloa -Drums. As a favor to "US", the track was mastered by Dana Fehr ; danarebel@gmail.com.

Austin mini-grunge orchestra, When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, recorded their track "Houston Voice" as a seven piece, but are currently touring as a 4, sometimes 5 piece. They have been featured on a Cardboard Records compilation; an experimental noise and lo-fi electronic label run by Dan Friel and B.J. Warshaw of Parts & Labor. "Houston Voice" was engineered by Chico Jones at OHM Recording Facility in Austin, TX and mixed by Chico and dinos. The band: cory, marc, nate, george, brandon, jeff, and jesse.

BATWINGS and WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH will be performing together at THE CASBAH in San Diego on August 17th, 2009.

Records will be available this Friday from When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, who are playing Parade of Flesh's birthday on July 24th with Pterodactyl and Church of the Snake.
Edicion Especial: Parade of Flesh took the first 100 copies of vinyl (50 red and 50 black) and added a gun metal metallic paper sleeve with velum liner notes attached by a satin ribbon on a hand-numbered tag. All hand assembled and designed by girl wonder: Margarita Buenaventura.

The Casbah, August 17th, w/ When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth & Fever Sleeves!

We are playing with When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth from Austin, TX @ The Casbah on August 17th. The 7" split we did with them has had a few setbacks but should be coming out this summer, and will hopefully be available at this show. Our good friends Fever Sleeves will be joining us as well!

Additionally, we are currently writing and recording in the studio after a long break of taking it easy on the music front for a while. In the past couple of months we've had a lot of stuff happen like apartments burning down, getting engaged, moving, finishing school, etc. Things have been a little crazy, but we are excited to get back to work and make some noise.
