The Bay Area Takeover

Three Ring Records is proud to annouce our partnership with Tricycle Records and The Bay Bridged to bring you The Bay Area Takeover - Austin 2008!

After witnessing years of depleted spirit at industry conference music festivals, the Bay Area Takeover has decided: it's time to bring that independent spirit back! The Bay Area Takeover is an entity committed to reinvigorating the music festival as a place to discover great new music from some of the San Francisco Bay Area's best record labels.

The first Takeover will be an independent showcase held during the 2008 South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas on March 13th at the Beauty Bar. The event will feature fifteen Bay Area bands, known in the indie world as some of the hottest up-and-coming and under the radar groups, including Film School, Scissors For Lefty, Two Gallants, Von Iva, Scrabbel, and more!

MFA and the stolen bass...

So our friends Music For Animals had their van violated. Here is an email that I received from the guys:

hey there, so some sort of bad Karma finally struck MFA and our van was broken into last night, luckily we didnt have a lot of gear in it but our bass players bass guitar was stolen and its is very precious to him. If any of you musicians out there see a gibson SB 350 short scale bass for sale, wood colored (it was shaved) 1972 or 73 with a body like an SG- pleaseeeeeeee let us know, he would love to get it back! Thanks so much! Cheers, MFA

So if you see this unique bass at your local pawn shop, music store or perhaps stage, be sure to report to the proper authorities and lets get this instrument back into its owner's hands.

Thanks!

Holy cow! Loads of new Christmas releases!

For those of you that are not aware of eMusic, go and sign up! They have great programs at reasonable prices.

We have 4 new releases that just went up at eMusic. In time these will be available everywhere else. We will be sure to bring you the news once we see them pop up elsewhere!

Gamma Gamma brings us
"I Want Your Baud." For those of you that like the classic sounds of the Commodore 64 and Atari this one is for you.

The Lonelyhearts have given us
"The Four-Wheel Drive EP," which includes 3 new songs and a remix by our own Chris Cline. Stay tuned for a new full length the first quarter of next year!!!

The Bother is finally back after a 4 year break with "
Smoke in an Umbrella." We certainly hope to hear more soon. 4 years was far to long William.

And last but not least is the new EP from Form and Fate.
"Recirc" is sure to generate more buzz as this band will only do bigger and better things in 2008.

And for those of you that missed the sampler go and grab it at
eMusic. Good stuff here friends and it costs you squat! No excuse to miss this one!
