Customer Highlight — The Christmas Gig

Thanks to Wieden + Kennedy and Target for enlisting GGR to press two extremely limited edition 7″ singles and a special clear-vinyl LP for Target’s The Christmas Gig!

Target commissioned several indie artists to create holiday songs to be used in a variety of Target commercials, and these songs are featured on the two 7″ singles and full-length album we have been manufacturing over the past few months.  As a bonus, Target has made all of the songs available as free downloads, and is also allowing consumers to share them through email and social networks as branded Christmas cards!

Snow Is Falling” by Darker My Love was performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night (12.14.10)….and sure enough — that record he’s holding in front of the camera in the video below, we are proud to say it’s one of our very own.

We at GGR all wish you and yours the very best Holiday season and Happy New Year!

Thanks to Josh Reed and Seth Faergolzia for enlisting us to press this record!

Customer Highlight — Take Acre

We at GGR are honored to have pressed the first-ever vinyl release for Minneapolis-based Take Acre.  They will be celebrating this LP release with a special show on December 12 at 1419 in Minneapolis at 8pm.  You can get a copy of this new album (which also includes a download code for the entire album as mp3’s) at the show, or by contacting the band.

Customer Highlight — Heks Orkest

Thanks to Youth Conspiracy Records for enlisting GGR to press the first Heks Orkest 7″ – you can grab a copy here, or check out the band at any of their live shows and grab one there!  (PS- if you happen to be in the Richmond, VA vicinity, you can catch them at their record release show with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists at Strange Matter tonight – Dec 8 at 7:30 pm).

Customer Highlight — Fungi Girls

Welcome to another solid 7″ release from our buds over at Group Tightener — Fungi Girls Owsley Knows / Glare #2 7″.

Fungi Girls are three high school kids from Texas. They’ve released records on Hozac, Play Pinball and Psychic Lunch. For their Group Tightener release, the trio recorded twin bursts of catchy garage-psych that will force its way into your brain and probably chill there for months and months. Throw it in the jukebox and drop the quarter in…over and over. Limited to 500 copies!

Customer Highlight — Paradise of Bachelors

Friends, we are delighted to announce the release of Paradise of Bachelors’ inaugural album, “Said I Had a Vision”: Songs & Labels of David Lee, 1960-1988 (PoB-01). This first-ever anthology of David Lee’s career as songwriter, performer and recording artist, record label owner, producer, record store proprietor, and all-around impresario includes fourteen songs by ten artists, twelve of which have never before been reissued. Each package includes a SCOP Gospel newsletter from 1988, a coupon for free digital download of the entire record, and a deluxe 8-page 11 x 11″ booklet containing more than 10,000 words of essays, track-by-track notes, and discographical information drawing from several years of friendship, research, record collecting, and personal interviews.

You can preview and grab a copy at various independent record stores around the country, or directly from Paradise of Bachelors.

Customer Highlight — Venia / Blood & Ink Records

During a relentless tour schedule over the past year (including runs with Bitter End, The Mongoloids, Donnybrook, Grave Maker, and Call To Preserve), Venia crafted 4 new songs of intense hardcore that once and for all prove their genuine tenacity.  Drawing influence from the likes of Buried Alive, Madball, and Merauder, this newest taste of Venia’s musical direction will impress both fans new and old.

Available through our friends at Blood & Ink Records on 7″, you can order now and have access to extremely limited colors of vinyl!  (The package also includes a download code for all of the 7″ tracks, plus one “outtake” track).
