Deathbomb Newsletter: Hello 2012!!

[dbom...@gmail.com]

Hello Deathbomb Friends,

So the most mind bending thing happened exactly at midnight NYE. Our
cat Leroy, who many of you may remember has been terrorizing us at a
supernatural level in 2011, stood up on his hind legs. With perfect
posture and the tone of a powerful gentleman he declared, "Now, I too
run Deathbomb Arc." Well, you can't really argue with that, can you?
So, while Leroy and I work out a contract for his involvement, the
rest of you can just let your imaginations run wild with what he'll be
doing. I can say this much, it will involve some weekly interaction
with this true alien being.

1. The 2nd year of the Digi club has started!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The first single of the Deathbomb Digital Singles Club Year Two was
sent out yesterday! Isaac Hicks, the artist for this year's batch, is
already off to an amazing start. You can see the art for this first
single at: http://deathbomb.tumblr.com/post/15251120119/digital-singles-club-year-2-has-begun
The music for this one is by Kevin Blechdom. Over the next year we'll
be dropping previously unreleased music from a ton of other great acts
as well. If you are not a member yet, you can sign up at:

2. Upcoming 2012 releases
--------------------------------------------
In 2012 Deathbomb Arc heads into new territory, even for us. We are
teaming up with author Patrick Wensink to release the books on tape
version of his forthcoming 3rd novel Broken Piano for President
(published by Lazy Fascist Press). The cassette will feature a
soundtrack composed by Brian Miller (hey, that’s me!) of Foot
Village / Back To The Future The Ride. We will also be offering a
deluxe edition including a copy of both the novel and cassette.
Broken Piano for President is a ludicrous world where the lives of
noise musicians, burger moguls, astronauts, and meth addicts get
caught in one baffling knot. Learn more about Patrick Wensink at
http://patrickwensink.com/

We will also be dropping a batch of "music" cassettes (music, what's
that?) in early spring and are working hard on getting this triple LP
rRope discography out! But before any of that, the free online album
DBA100, commemorating Deathbomb putting out over a 100 releases will
drop. It will center around Deathbomb acts covering songs from
Deathbomb releases. More on all this VERY SOON!
