That title may be one of the worst puns I’ve written yet.  Why? Because The Nico Blues are putting out their self-released EP, Die Happy, in about 38 minutes?  Head over to The Nico Blues’ Bandcamp page and keep refreshing it until it pops up!  Or, act like a regular person, and just wait until 12:00AM on February 29th, and download your copy for a price of your choosing (which could be free – but seriously – don’t be that guy – karma and all that, right?)

Oh – and if you’re sad because you can hold it in your hands, you can quell your physical need by heading over to the Killing Horse Store, and picking up a copy of their debut, Blame The Boredom, Blame The Basements, available now in glorious, totally still relevant, CD format, for you to upload to your iTunes and never touch again – but hey – it comes with a cool foldout lyric sheet that we folded ourselves!  So buy it! Now!

Well, we are on our way in 2012, and we couldn’t be happier with how it’s starting off.  The Nico Blues‘ Blame The Boredom, Blame The Basement is now available.  It saw it’s official release on Friday at our 2 Year Anniversary Celebration, which, thanks to all of you, was a complete SELL OUT!  Thanks a lot guys!  Stay tuned – new announcements coming soon.

PS – How awesome is it that At The Drive In is getting back together?

Well January 6th is here.  What does that mean?  That means we are please to announce the release of The Nico Blues – Blame The Boredom, Blame The Basements on Killing Horse Records.  Copies are up for sale in the Killing Horse Store, and you’ll also be able to pick them up tonight at Maxwell’s for the Killing Horse Records 2 Year Anniversary Show.

Also, please take a look around, notice anything different?  That’s right! We did get our site redesigned!  Pretty snazzy, isn’t it?  Well enjoy our new home, listen to some tunes, pick up some merch in the store, and drop us a line with that nifty contact form.

See you tonight!

Hey guys, so let’s just say that I wandered down the wrong corridor right before Brick City, and just found my way back now. Yes, I know, I haven’t updated the site in like 3 months. Deal with it. Anyway, I’m back now, and Killing Horse is back online – and kicking things up a notch.

So I’m sure you’re all aware by now that we’ve lost Ben Franklin to the turmoils of bands breaking up. Though it makes my heart heavy still, I’m sure something good will come of it one day. But hey, just because they’re gone doesn’t mean they need be forgotten! Their debut CD, “Optimist” and the 7″ released on Killing Horse, “Urgency” are still available over in the store – and guess what? They’re on sale! So do yourself a favor and pick up a memento of this awesome bands while supplies last!

As it is with the circle of life, where there is death, there is often birth (?) – what I’m getting at is that Killing Horse Records is proud to announce that we are teaming up with The Nico Blues for the re-release of their acclaimed debut, “Blame the Boredom, Blame the Basements”. “But when can I get this super awesome CD with expanded artwork and lyrics?” – you may ask? Why you can get it at the KILLING HORSE RECORDS 2-YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION!!!!! Yes, that’s right, it’s been just about 2 years now since Mike and I got the notion that we could actually run a business – and yet 2 years later we’re still plugging away. Anyway, the show is at Maxwell’s on January 6th, and I’m going to devote a separate post to that – you best be there!
