A very Rare Update from the WIERD...

Tuesday, October 12, 2006

Well the WIERD has returned from Germany where it seems our beloved WIERD heroes Martial Canterel and Xeno and Oaklander have got Deutchland under their frozen cold thumbs!!! The release parties could honestly not have gone any better, we sold nearly 1/3 of the entire edition of the LP and more importantly drank all thee repressed bespectacled architects and 'Future-Pop 'Rave-Goths' alike under the Modernist glass table. Our website will soon be expanded to include photos and videos from this and other WIERD related events so stay tuned. Sean's performance was so chilling that Twilight Ritual invited him to travel to Belgium this Saturday and open up for them at the Minimal Synth Summit at Sint-Niklaas. For all you overseas at the moment deeply embedded in the banal sadness that is Paris fashion week and the Frieze art fair in London, here's where the truly very rare art's goin down this weekend!!!

In the city it will be available at Other Music and Hospital Productions(E.3rd St btwn 2nd/3rd), but if you're truly WIERD you'll be so kind as to support the label and buy it directly from us through the website: http://www.wierdrecords.com/ .

Lastly I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all your lovely melancholic emails about the mysterious dissappearance of the WIERD, its nice to know we're missed on those lonely cold autumn Tuesday nights...I'm not going to say exactly where at this point but rumors have it WIERD may resurrect its sad little self for the 3rd time sometime in Mid-late November, untill then, stay cold and always be...very rare, P.
