We're back at it.

It's been a very very very long time since we've updated this site - sorry.

But we have been busy.  Below are a but a few of the tapes and CDs we've been making.

You can stream and buy them here or at Aquarius in SF or Experimedia - also lots and lots of titles are hanging out at Vacation in LA, Hanson Records in Ohio, and Norman Records in the UK.

Wanna be part of the club?  Get in touch at dubditchpicnic (at) gmail (dot) com

We've got a ton of stuff coming up  - keep an eye here and an ear on our bandcamp. 

We're on hold right now.

On Nov. 8 the above happened.  It smashed my car up and me with it too. I've just been released from hospital after 6 weeks and have a lot of rehabilitation ahead.

Since September we have released 10 new tapes.  Info on these has been minimal as we were just about to do an announcement when the accident happened.

For now out Tictail space has been suspended until we can get things up and running again.

You can visit our Bandcamp page where everything is streaming and you can really help us out (we've had no income here for 2 months and going) by grabbing some stuff digitally or email us at dubditchpicnic(at) gmail. com if you want to get your hands on the tapes themselves... we'll make sure you get sorted. 

Here are the newest releases:

Crabskull- Phlegm Bomb Trick$
Snailpoison- Live in the Hatnhime Caves

German Army & Aerosol Constellations

German Army - Holland Village c40  

From XXJFG 

German Army are one of 20JFG’s favourite bands in the world. Their releases describe mutant strains of a virus originally engineered in the laboratories of the COUM conspiracy, and released into the world as a sonic code for the mass metamorphosis of people into drones, the painful integration of flesh with metal and plastic, an account of the first stages in the evolution of a hegemonic species of insect. 

In Holland Village, the insinuations of beats in previous releases become a reality, the rumble of the viral machinery pumping copies of itself and massing them up in the cellular borders of invaded territories. If these armies had camps, and in their camps they burned fires, and around their fires they sang songs and danced dances, Abbasid Golden Age would be heard loud and terrible, the microscopic fractal of the Human League’s Being Boiled & other Electronic Body (emphasis on Body) anthems, a battle hymn for armies with that have no mouths, yet do scream. 

BUY

Aerosol Constellations - Within the Beyond c27

Psychedelic drones from Vancouver duo consisting of J.V. Dub (Shearing Pinx) and Bill Batt (Stamina Mantis).  2 tracks of proper burner jamz. This is the kind of stuff we live for here at PF HQ.

Only 40 copies so don't sleep on this.

BUY
