Thats that. 

Then there's this: ocrilim.bandcamp.com

So these recordings can be heard or bought. So some can offer support, if one has the means. So I can release recordings without post offices and packing tape. 

Then there's the future, where we are stuck. 2012 is upon us. Accept and observe.

2012 will see new releases. new Orthrelm EP, IDHNBTB trio, Chamber Musics, Oldest LP, Krallice's, Ocrilim...

New website: mickbarr.info

COILED MALESCENCE

Hello All. 

Pre-orders have started for the new Mick Barr LP "Coiled Malescence" over at www.safetymeeting.net so if interested go there. The official release date is September 13th. 

All copies of the LP will come with a letterpress insert of artwork. There will be a limited number of jackets which will also be letterpressed. The majority of the pressing will be normal printed jackets. 

The CD version will be released by Savage Land Records. It will contain bonus unreleased Ocrilim tracks. Heres the blog to look for that: http://slrec.blogspot.com/

I will have copies of both formats to sell here at some point in the near future. I will also have copies of the Ocrilim "Ment" LP as well as Orthrelm "OV" LP. 

Also, the Oldest LP reissue will be out sometime in November on Sleeping Giant Glossolalia and the CD reissue will be released by Crucial Blast. More on that later. 

Few things to go over with you people. 

First: I've got a few shows coming up:

-----August 5th at Death by Audio Brooklyn

---------Mick Barr, Vaz, Lichens, The Dreebs

-----August 24th at Zebulon Brooklyn

---------Barr/Shea/Dahl, Little Women

Second: There is a new Krallice EP out for free download. Tribute to Orphan's Brendan Majewski. Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?oshlih37w9nnzg8

Third: Free Krallice Flexi-disc record with latest issue of Decibel Magazine. We do a cover of Rorschach's Traditional. You can listen to it here: http://www.decibelmagazine.com/flexi-series/

Also, I just finished a remix for Vampillia from Japan. When it's released I will post about it. There's also a Bloody Panda remix I did coming out soon. But I've found that I like doing remixes. I add lots of guitar tracks and change the entire song. So, if you would like to commission me to do a remix for you, get in touch here: mithboth@yahoo.com 

Much more info on it's way.  new LPs/CDs, new bands, kickstarters, drawings, websites, classical musics...

Old Hound Time

Many things.

Orthrelm "comeback" shows were great. We played a new set twice in England and once in Germany. There will be more, but we aren't sure when and where. Probably a new recording at some point too. Taking it all slowly...

But here is a video from the Moers Festival: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VllnfBZ2030

New solo LP/CD "Coiled Malescence" is still on it's way. Kind of got sidetracked a bit by other things. More soon on that. 

Oldest will be releasing an LP of the previously released CD from a few months ago. It will be released on Sleeping Giant Glossolalia out of Denver Colorado. 

No word on string quartet performance. Working on some other ensemble pieces in the meantime. 

More soon.
