Project Stinkeye CD Release – March 3

Robert Eisenbraun — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 00:49:22 +0000

This Wednesday at 9pm, Joel Schuman’s band is releasing its first EP, the amorphous “Noise/Art.” The show is in Java Haus, the student coffee house at North Park University, in the basement of Burgh Hall, right around 5000 N Spaulding Ave. Tim Lowly, the resident artist and a staple singer-songwriter of the university, will be performing with his band, as well. The show is free, so come out!

Three songs from the album are already downloadable in our discography.

Check the Facebook Event for other details (you’ll have to log into Facebook).

Dual Release from Joe Davis

Robert Eisenbraun — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:10:31 +0000

Joe Davis is releasing both Goodbye, Babylon! and Fireflies on Thursday, October 22. Robert Eisenbraun recorded them at the same time (Joe has two mouths and pairs of lungs), and while their intentions are different, the albums are certainly related. The artwork intentionally matches, and they have generally similar sounds.

We are not yet sure what will happen October 22, but likely someone will open for Joe at 9:30pm, and Joe will take the stage and perform afterward.

Fireflies will have five songs and will sport a packet design made from one piece of paper. Goodbye, Babylon! will be twice as long as Fireflies, and will be in a standard jewel case.

Go to the discography for more details on Goodbye, Babylon! and Fireflies. After release, they will be available for free download.

The To-Do List

Robert Eisenbraun — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 05:07:47 +0000

We aren’t done yet! We’ve released two albums this year, but we plan to get Ben Bruckner’s untitled set of songs and two albums by Joe Davis released in the next three months.

Once Bruckner returns from his youth work in Alaska, we will tackle his baker’s dozen songs.

Davis and Robert Eisenbraun recorded over a dozen tunes in the last two weeks, and Eisenbraun is in the process of mixing and adding colour to them. The CD designs need to be worked out, as well, and we will plan a release date and show to go with them soon.

There is also another secret release in the works… Right now it’s on a need-to-know basis, folks!

“Thirsty Traveler Gospel Songbook” Released

Robert Eisenbraun — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 05:40:06 +0000

Men of Easy Company released their album “Thirsty Traveler Gospel Songbook” today with a grande olde release party! Robert and Joel performed all the new songs and a few old ‘uns, with free buttons, too. We even got an itty bitty video of “Coming To An End.”

Thanks everyone for coming to the show. The audience was very attentive, and it was a great time. Makes a person want to play more often.

If you want a CD, you can E-mail us to order a physical copy with all the artwork and liner notes for $1 (boy, it’s cool!). That, and our releases are available in the Downloads section for free.

By the way, the SideDistro has been refined, and has a new song up by Joel Schuman, his brother, and his brother’s friend.

How I Fall For You
Time To Spare
Wrong Way Home
On Down The Road
Going On A Trip

The album will be available for download both as individual MP3 files and one single .iso file to burn to CD on the Downloads page–as well as a real, physical album to buy, if you like; $1 each to cover materials. Its cover art, while simple, is painstakingly assembled by hand by yours truly. Initially there will be 50 numbered physical copies. For details on getting one, E-mail us. This is the first album the label is selling materially at-cost, and absolutely free online. We’re very excited.

Lonely Ben Bruckner

Robert Eisenbraun — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 00:49:52 +0000

I have two good things to talk about: I’ve been interested in signing Ben onto the label for at least a year, but I didn’t think I had something worthwhile to offer him until now. We spent yesterday recording a number of songs, and I will be proud to add the finished album to our catalog this coming spring when we’ve worked out all the details. As we get closer to release I’ll put a song on the Downloads page for your pleasure, and soon I’ll put up a nice little page for Mr. Bruckner with a picture and bio and such.

We don’t have a title for the album, or titles for all the songs even, but it is well underway. Also remember that Joe Davis’ album will be released this spring! So many good things…

Until next time-

Adding More Than Music To The Label

Robert Eisenbraun — Mon, 12 May 2008 20:25:34 +0000

We’ve added a short Side Distro page to the site to showcase any joint projects and artwork that we’d like to see do well. We are interested in the arts as a whole, not just music, and we realize there is value in many mediums around us. As we get the opportunity, we’ll be glad to put more up.

As the director of the short film “The Canberra Night Fighters” introduces his film:

This short film was made for school. Look for skewed Vietnam War references and pay attention to the black and white values. They always mean something. It was inspired by stories of the Vietnam War and “8 1/2.” Thanks to all those involved; the actors would help with sound and lighting when not in scenes, and spent hours in two nights (and mornings) filming it.

The short also ends with the Men of Easy Company’s “Coming To An End,” unreleased as of yet.

Joe Davis Gets Lonely

Robert Eisenbraun — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 21:28:21 +0000

We’re glad to be able to say Joe Davis is joining the label. Robert Eisenbraun has been meeting and recording with Davis for a few months, and we’re ready to add him to our roster. We look forward to looking out for his interests!

The new album doesn’t have a name yet or a release date. We’re getting close to finishing the music, but we’ve still a few more points of contrition to work out.

Because of the college semester system, we’re looking at an official Christmas or January release. While you wait for the album, go read his bio.
