LA DISPUTE – 2XLP/THURSDAY TOUR

Somewhere At The Bottom Of The River Between Vega And Altair, the critically acclaimed debut full-length from La Dispute (Grand Rapids, MI), will finally receive the vinyl pressing it deserves, courtesy of the venerable No Sleep Records.

The official street date for the double 12″ release is 09/22/09, but the label is taking pre-orders now. To snag your copy, go here.

Originally released as a CD in November of 2008, the 2xLP is being pressed on brown / black and clear / black color ways, with each color limited to 500 and a total first pressing of 1000. The records will be packaged inside a beautiful gatefold jacket and the first 100 orders will receive the brown / black combo with a hand-screened d side, as well as a special two color print.

Listen to “Said The King To The River” and “Bury Your Flame” (free mp3s).

In other news, La Dispute recently confirmed that they will be joining Thursday, Young Widows and The Fall Of Troy for a string of eleven shows throughout the Midwest. The band is also booking additional dates on their own surrounding that tour.

NAKATOMI PLAZA – NEW RECORD/FAREWELL TOUR

After ten years, four full-lengths, a handful of EPs, singles and comp tracks, countless DIY tours and basement shows, and a tireless dedication to an independent punk rock ethic, to boot, Nakatomi Plaza has decided to call it a day. And while there are plenty of great ways to say “goodbye” to everyone who supported your band for a decade, two of the very best include releasing one last amazing record and subsequently backing it up with a tour and a two-day fest with awesome bands and some of your best friends.

Ghosts, the final self-released full-length from Nakatomi Plaza, will see an official September 29, 2009 release date. However, the Brooklyn, NY trio will also have copies of the record on its upcoming farewell trek, named The Coda Tour.
