Hello! How are the members of the Lower Class Revolt doing? We hope you’re doing well! We’d like to start by sending out a quick note of thanks to the bands who played our Lower Class Revolt compilation release show at The Knockout on September 24th: Evacuee, Form & Fate and Shiloe. A good time was had by all—we gave away some limited edition compilation CDs, listened to a Form and Fate set compromised of entirely new and amazing songs and got to hear all about the new record on the way from Evacuee (we can’t wait!). Everybody can download the compilation for FREE right here on the LCR site. Go to the BUY section and take advantage.

We’re taking submissions for Volume#3 of our Lower Class Revolt compilation series. The deadline is November 1st for a January 29th, 2009 release date. Contact us at: mike@thelowerclassrevolt.com if you’re interested. We have three slots left!

Our long time friend Kevin Bronson had some awkward news come his way. After 18 years of writing the Buzz Bands column of the L.A. Times—mostly on his own time– where he single handedly gave some of today’s biggest bands their first break, the Times felt it necessary to downsize him out of the picture. There’s always a silver lining isn’t there? For Kevin and for us diehard music fans there is! Mr. Bronson has just launched www.buzzbands.la and now his knowledge and insight can be enjoyed daily by his thousands and thousands of readers. AND he’s been so kind to give The Aimless Never Miss a mention. Check it out here: http://buzzbands.la/2008/09/24/the-aimless-never-miss-connect-on-debut We wish Kevin well in his new venture and he’s on our daily must read radar for life.

We also want to mention that we have a couple of massive events coming up in late October. Light FM will be hosting two release parties for the impending Devil in the Woods release “black magic marker”. The first will be in Los Angeles on October 21st at Boardner’s. We hope to see all of our SoCal friends there! The San Francisco release party will be held on October 29th at the Knockout. And of course we hope to see our Bay Area friends there as well. More details as we get closer to the events.

The Sleepover Disaster’s new release “hover” went into production this week. We’ll be leaking some of the new tracks onto the site in the coming weeks before their February 10th, 2009 release date.

A quick mention: The Aimless Never Miss’ Jonny Latimer is currently over in Europe with our good friends Built For The Sea for a three week tour. Jonny checked in—everybody is alive and well! Look for a slew of Aimless Never Miss dates in November and December.
Thanks to everybody for the continued support.

Hello to all of those who ride along with The Lower Class Revolt! It’s been amazingly busy here in our cluttered office nestled in the Russian Hill neighborhood of San Francisco. A big round of thanks to all who attended The Aimless Never Miss CD release party. For all of you who picked up the CD at the show, thank you! For those of you who want to pick up the CD now, by all means feel free to visit our E-store where there will be limited edition badge sets given away *free* with each CD purchase!
The Aimless Never Miss have a new video for their song “Bound” available for viewing here:

Check out this review for The Aimless Never Miss that’s going to run in The Big Takeover in October.

“Capitalizing on the use of voice distortion and transient crescendos, this San Francisco five piece creates a cinematic sound beginning with “The Point of Playing” exuding a distinctive musical narrative while serving as an auditory throwback to the yesteryears of indie rock. “The Obvious” evokes fond memories of Sunny Day Real Estate, while still managing to feel like an original reconstruction of Diary’s “Shadows.” Tracks such as “Dresden,” “Nothing to Gain,” and “The Bright Side” are contemplative but sparingly so, resulting in an overall feel of a whispered suggestion, subdued but definite. Ending with the lyrical guitar riffs of “Suburban Seas,” the ANM hit the mark. “

Next up on the calendar will be the release party for The Lower Class Revolt Volume #2 on Wednesday September 24th at The Knockout in San Francisco. Evacuee, Shiloe and Form and Fate will be supplying the live music and we’ll be giving away a few limited edition physical copies of this *free* download at the show. For those of you who live in San Francisco, see you there. For those of you who reside outside of the area, help yourself to this free compilation on September 24th featuring Citay, Rykarda Parasol, All Smiles, Shuteye Unison, Carcrashlander, Evacuee, Harbours, Kelly Blair Bauman, Kid Mud, and Form and Fate.
We’ve got t-shirts for sale in the *clothing* section of our e-store. Great shirts, super inexpensive. Enjoy.
We’ve got a lot on tap in the coming months. More live shows than you can shake a stick at and our label is readying the release of the full length debut of Light FM and their release “Black Magic Marker”. You can catch a poor man’s preview at www.myspace.com/lightfm.
A big rousing thank you to all of you for the support. Really.
