TICKETS GO ON SALE THIS FRIDAY

Regional 7" Part 1: Release

Friday, December 12th is the date slated for the release of part 1 of the Regional 7" Series. It's also the date of our release party at the Silver Dollar. Advance tickets can be purchased at Rotate This and Soundscapes soon.



Regional Seven Inch Series sees singles on 7" records released all throughout the country on a variety of labels. The A side of each record necessarily deals with a subject thematically linked to the region out of which the label is based. So there are songs about cancer treatment in Toronto, and work shortage in St. John's, Newfoundland, and VLT gambling and the oil economy in Fort McMurray and cycles of colonization in Vancouver. This series will run indefinitely.

The cover art on this one is by Matt McInnes out of Hogtown.

Regional Seven Inch

Regional Seven Inch is a series of 7 " records which will be released on a variety of Canadian music labels over the next year. The A side necessarily deals with an issue true to the general region of the label. Our first release, 14th Floor has already been blogged about by university student, Paul Mortimer (please see two blogs down, thank you). For those of you struggling internally with the question "What is a seven inch record?" please see the video below. Of course, we won't just hand the answer to you- a seven inch is different for everyone- no two people perceive them the same. But the kind of information we give you should help you on your way to understanding what a 7" is to you.





If you know of a good label in Saskatchewan, please let us know. Thank you.
