B.A. signs with D'Addario, New EP for FC in October, and New Merch!

Hello!

We have all kinds of news around here: B. signed an artist deal with the rad folks over at D'Addario/Planet Waves! She'll be playing them on and off stage going forward, just as she has been for fifteen years. So cool!

Friendship Commanders have been hard at work on their new EP, GARFIELD, to be released on Cassette Store Day 2015, October 17th. It's a brand new batch of songs that focus more on their hardcore leanings. We're proud to be releasing it on TTS.

Also, FC made some new limited-edition merch with their lightning logo. These bags were made with a hand-cut stencil and some good ol' spray paint. It's a run of fifteen bags, and they're all hand-numbered. They come in two sizes: Small, 13.5" x 13.5 (black only), and Large, 18" x 15.5" (Black, Grey, Brown, and Natural). Can be used to carry rekkids, skateboards, groceries, art supplies, guitar cables etc. Grab one!

Lastly, the show FC were scheduled to play on August 29th was canceled. BUT, they're playing the 26th at Springwater in Nashville, and they'll be live on the WRFN Nashville (103.7 & 107.1) the next night, August 27th. Tune in at 9 pm CST to hear them on The Real Music City, playing live and talking about what they're up to. Should be a great time!

Thanks,

Friendship Commanders on the road and a new single by Buick Audra!

Hello!

Friendship Commanders have some short tours lined up throughout the summer. Several dates are already, with many more yet to be announced. Check back!

Also, last month Buick Audra released her first solo single in four years, "Brother Blue." It was one of two songs she performed at the Re-Visioning Justice conference in April, the other being a brand new piece called "Relievers." She wrote this song in 2008 as part of a body of work that she intended to turn into an album called Love & Lightning. 

As she was leaving the conference, a woman stopped her and asked if there was a recording of "Brother Blue" that she could purchase. Buick told her the truth, that there wasn't. She looked quite disappointed and added that she wanted to give it to someone whose loved one was about to be incarcerated. Buick decided to record it for them. Jerry Roe and Derek Wells were both available and willing to contribute their talents and time to the recording, and here it is. 

Any money that is made from this recording will be donated to Jail Guitar Doors, an organization that works to provide inmates with music equipment as a means for rehabilitation. Buick believes in rehabilitation and recovery, for all people. She - and we at TTS - believe in finding ways to be compassionate and supportive. 

Thanks for stopping by.

New Halloween single by Friendship Commanders!

Happy Halloween! What better way to celebrate than with the new single by Friendship Commanders? They covered "Them Bones" by Alice in Chains this year, and had a blast doing it. Some of you may remember their Halloween single last year, a cover of the Ramones' beloved "Pet Sematary," and all proceeds from the FC version were donated to the Hazelden Foundation in memory of Dee Dee Ramone. This year, they will donate all proceeds in the name of Layne Staley. You can buy both of them for a dollar (each) - or more!

Have a spooky Holiday

"Them Bones"

release date: 10/28/14

Welcome!

Welcome to the brand new site! It's still a work in progress, but now all of the TTS projects and their respective releases can be found in one place - so we're on our way to good, good things. 

The year is almost at a close after an exciting, full twelve months. We get to kick off 2014 with Boey Russell's first full-length album release in January! Until then, please check out the song that he collaborated with Buick Audra on; it's called "Genevieve," and we hope you love it. It's a free download for a limited time, but if you choose to pay for it, your money will go toward Retinitis Pigmentosa research. 

Thanks again, and Happy new year!
