April 9th and 10th: React! Records Fest in Berkeley, CA

Straight from Aram himself:

"REACT! RECORDS SHOWCASE

April 9th and 10th

7 Seconds

Betrayed

Mindset

Get the Most

ON

Right Idea

Common Cause

Keep It Clear

True Colors

Circles

Gone But Not Forgotten

Not Sorry

Peace

Praise

Damages

924 Gilman St. Berkeley, CA 94701

More info coming soonish, but you can chew on that for awhile."

The humble, part-time machine that is Right Idea is incredibly stoked to grace Gilman with our presence again, not to mention play with our friends and label mates in Not Sorry, Mindset, Circles, GBNF, ON, Get 'Mo, Common Cause and Betrayed.

If all goes as planned, we'll be playing our way down and back with those studly vegans (and Adam) from Not Sorry. Their 7" is now out on Lifeline Records (Props to Joe Rieman for another killer release), with a European pressing rolling with the Portugese Salad Days Recordings. Good on them, eh? They've been working hard, from Syracuse to DC and throughout the Northwest's stretch of the I-5 corridor.

More updates will follow quite soon with all the details, but if you're in Olympia, Portland or Seattle, much less Berkeley, then get ready.

I'm gettin' all worked up just thinking about this weekend, and it's four months out. In the meantime, I guess I'll have to cool down with the new Not Sorry jams:

7 Inches of Repress

Jeff from Bottled Up announced yesterday that the Right Idea 12" EP Our World is heading back into press as a 7" with Bottled Up. Thanks to Jeff and Jeff and Aram at React! for putting the wheels in motion, and word is -- everyone is stoked. Expect it sometime in the next few months. Also -- don't forget -- the label is also putting out a 7" of out-takes from the TFS What We Know sessions . . .  Here's excerpts from the announcement post from LWB:

I am now taking orders for THE FIRST STEP- What We Knows Sessions 7”. These songs were recorded in December of 2003, as the band was in the process of reforming after their breakup in May 2003. These are the original recordings of songs that eventually found their way to the What We Know lp on Rivalry Records. There weren’t many copies of this demo floating around, and many people never got a chance to hear these songs. Some prefer these versions to the lp tracks. There will be a couple NC themed colors. The record is at the plant now, but I do not expect this to be ready until March. Order now, because they are going to sell out quickly. There will be 500 in the first press, with MAYBE another 500 if there is a demand for them.

After this record, be on the lookout for a 7” from Cleveland’s RIGHT IDEA. This record is just a repress of the 12” REACT! Records put out last year. REACT! will only do 1 run of 1000 records and Aram likes it so much he wanted to see it still available. I was honored when asked to keep this record in print. Expect more info on that sometime in February.

HAVE HEART- Demo 2003 is still available for order. The pressing info is as follows (I never get the numbers I actually order from the plant):
100 black, hand numbered
145 clear purple
177 solid orange
234 solid purple

Read the entire thing here.

We'll pass along more information as we have it (ordering, numbers, etc).

Go!
