Rebuilding the Website

Tired of spamy scammy stuff, I upgraded the website which, le sigh, means I need to rebuild it.

Therefore, excuse the virtual dust over the next few days as I re-enter the slow and painful process of repopulating our www

xoxoxo

Videos! Videos! Videos!

While we have been industriously planning some video shoots, the bands have been busy posting live shows up on you tube and myspace. I have cherry picked some examples and posted them on our web page for your enjoyment: http://theunionrecords.net/index.php/Union-Records.html

Power of County looks really dirty in their bluegrass cover of Exchange for Your Soul, This Fair City is classic in black and white at Portland's the Know Bar, and No Go Know looks road worn and on fire (shot during their national tour).

I will continue to add more videos as time allows, but in the meantime you can always search on you tube for more Power of County or No Go Know!

Rock n Shop and You

We just had a meeting last night with the good folks at Slabtown to help prep for Rock n Shop scheduled for Sat. Dec 12th.

We are excited for the opportunity to help plan and make it a great event.

Suggestions welcome!

We are also looking for other regional labels to participate, so if you are an Oregon or Washington record label who has not yet been invited to attend, give us a shout out!

Power of County Attracts Portland Indie Stars

POC (Power of County) recently played a semi-secret show at Jubitz, a local truck stop. Much to everyone's excitement the fans turned out in hordes, including some local musician celebs (we're not going to name drop).

This rounds out a steady Portland quadrant (NE, SE) tour for POC this Sep. and Oct. In addition to playing regularly at Biddy's, they have also made appearances at neighborhood haunts like the Kenton Club.

Power of County is putting the finishing touches on their fourth album, Last Night Was My Last Night, which we anticipating releasing in the summer of 2010.

This Fair City gave me . . .

. . . my ass on a silver platter. I gotta tell ya - This Fair City's show at the Red Room last night was f'ing stellar. Anyone who was there already knows, but for everyone else, MAN, you missed out. They played some new material that sounded great, and really tore the place up (and NO, this isn't the beer talking). A big GRACIAS to Chairman for playing a killer solo set at the last minute and Joshua Polk for a great cd release and awesome show. Next time you get the chance, check out This Fair City - it's definitely worth your while. I'm still twitchin'.

Drowning in Visuals

The explicit reason for all my current flailing around like an arthritic kangaroo is that I've finally acquired some super-duper awesome killer video editing software, and am nosehairs deep into it. Truth be told, it's just a little teensy-weensy bit overwhelming. It's like heading out for a simple burger and finding oneself in a schizophrenic restaurant serving fourteen thousand varieties of dead cow on bun, with toppings ranging from bamboo to motor oil to camel tears to alien dung but no bacon cheeseburgers. As the blue-haired saying goes, I feel like a deer in headlights. Anyhoo, the deadline I've been given for the first vid is in about 2.5 weeks, so look for it on the Union Records website about then. Forward, Andromeda!!!!! Push, push!!!
