From Joyful Noise:
We are extremely excited to share the news of our new series: Almost Live from Joyful Noise.
You might be aware of the fact that we have a small performance space at our Indianapolis headquarters. Well, we thought it would be fun to invite some of our favorite bands over to record a limited edition single, tracked live in our empty performance space (hence almost live).
Using our 1940s record lathe, we are cutting records on the spot, and making them available to our VIPs.
Each "Almost Live" release will be limited to just 100 copies on hand-made, lathe-cut 7" records with screen-printed jackets. This will be a semi-regular series, with new releases coming your way every month or two.
The first installment of our "Almost Live" series comes from none other than the Melvins. With the help of Teri from Le Butcherettes, the Melvins stopped by our space recently to record a cover of the Bikini Kill classic "Rebel Girl". Seriously.
Copies will go on sale tomorrow (Friday, September 11) at Noon EST.
