PLAN-IT-X RECORDS

Plan-it-x news june 2003.

CARRIE NATIONS/THIS BIKE IS A PIPE BOMB split 7"!v this is gonna be a great record, only 2 songs by each band but the songs are great and this record is your only chance to hear them, terry sings lead vocals on one of the tbiapb songs! this record is a split release with Shake records from athens. it will be available from us on july 15th. and is limited to 1,000 copies (or more).

MADELINE:
madeline is a girl that lives in athens and play guitar and writes really amazing songs. she has an awesome voice and an original sound, i can't really say enough about how much i like this music. she blows me away everytime i see her. i swear! so anyhow, i asked her to be on plan-it-x and she said yes. so we're putting out her cd: "kissing and dancing". it will be out really soon: june 20th. and will be 5$ postage paid.

SOOPHIE NUN SQUAD:
wow! guess what, we are releasing the cd version of their next full length CD. it will be out by AUG 1st (i think). SNS are an amazing posi-rock band that was once based in little rock AR, but now they live all over the place. there are like 6-15 people in the band, they wear funny costumes, they have puppets, they make you feel really good! check out thier older records on HARLAN RECORDS.

ABE FROMAN/SOOPHIE NUN SQUAD split CD
maybe you already have the LP version of this, but maybe you don't have a record player. well anyway, we are releasing the CD version. it will will be just like the LP. it will be out by AUG 1st at the latest!

SHOTWELL: Shotwell is a great band with great lyrics from SF. CA. They play sloppy heartfelt punk rock. They have been around for a long time. Their latest album: the devil has its day was supposed to come out about a year ago on a bay area record label but got all messed up, so we put it out and i'm pretty happy that we got the chance to do something with such a cool band. the CD is 5$ postage paid of course.

The BANANAS:
Oh my god the bananas went on tour! Marie is awesome huh? They also have a brand new CD out: nautical rock n roll. Its awesome, its wacky and fuller than their last release with more back up vocals. We also released the first 10 years cd too which has forbidden fruit and 20 bonus tracks, including both of their long lost 7 and a lot of rarities. So if you like the bananas, you should be happy, I am.

ABE FROMAN:
will be doing a split 7 with THE DEVIL IS ELECTIC sometime this summer (on chain reaction records) and 2 of them will be moving to Bloomington (tomorrow) and I will get to hang out with them all the time. MATTY POP CHART, their drummer, has a solo CDR released on plan-it-x that is really awesome too. RYAN, the bass player, has a solo band as well called BABE IN THE WOODS he has a CDR on friends and relatives records, a Bloomington punk label ran by the famous Justin rhody: dicknose_mcgruff@hotmail.com

GHOST MICE:
ghost mice will have a split CD with saw wheel out on hill billy stew record on june 12th. they are also working on a new split CD with the amazing rymodee (guitar player of this bike is a pipe bomb) it will be out on july 4th on friends and relatives records. Ghost mice are "touring" europe from july 29-oct 30th. if you have any idea of where they can play please let me know. ghost mice would also like to say that they think thier CDR is way too slow and they want you all to know that they play much better now.

THIS BIKE IS A PIPE BOMB.
Are really sorry they had to cancel their tour. They will have a split 7 with THE DEVIL IS ELECTRIC out really soon on RISK records from SF CA, 2 brand new really great songs and one cool acoustic version of one of their hits I heard a rumor that rymodee shaved his wolverine sideburns? Oh my! they are doing a make-up tour in july and planning to hit a lot of the towns they had to cancel recently, please don't be mad at them, they are the greatest band to ever live!

THE DEVIL IS ELECTRIC.
Will be doing split 7s with tbiapb (as I just said above) and abe froman and then even the carrie nations and the bananas, all in the future, and hopefully someday will have a new full length out. (someday that is)

The SISSIES.
The sissies are broken up of course but I just thought it would be cool to tell you about ALI and JRDs new band: WHAT THE KIDS WANT. They got Christopher from SF to play bass and released their own 7. ( you can also get the CDR version for the same price) Its good. You can get it for 3$ ppd from TALKING DOG RECORDS: PO-BOX-954 bloomington IN 47401

AGAINST ME!
will have a new CD out on plan-it-x records sometime. i thought it would be out by now but as you know ther are a pretty busy band, always on tour. Although, I call it new it will actually be a compilation of most of their old demo songs and left over tracks from their old days. Just acoustic guitar and buck drums. Im very excited about it and I think youre really gonna like it.

THE BLANK FIGHT:
At last the blank fight CD is done. Im so sorry about the super long wait. I had to get it pressed two times. Anyway, the blank fight was a short lived band from Pensacola FL. It started as part of a house band feud. The other houses bands didnt get off the ground. Then they recorded and did a short tour and recorded again later. This CD will have all of their recorded songs on it. The music is punk with a little rymodee style folk punk influence. The lyrics are part aaron cometbus (the drummer) and part rymodee (the guitar/harmonica player). If you have ordered this it will be coming your way really soon. Sorry for the huge delay. The band is no longer a band by the way, sorry for your sake.

THE END.
Once again, I did my best to write the news, I hope it makes sense and Im sorry about all the things I probably forgot, and most of all THANK YOU SO MUCH for supporting DIY music and making me very happy, love-chris (plan-it-x captain, devil is electric dude, and ghost mice guitarist).
