Steve Gunn is playing two very special record release parties, in his hometowns of Philadelphia (Johnny Brenda’s on June 22, with Endless Boogie) and New York (Union Pool on June 29, with Loren Connors/Tom Carter and Highlife.) Get your tickets now and take some Time Off. Do it.
Updates on the PoB artist roster, including Steve Gunn’s Time Off and David Letterman appearance with Kurt Vile, Hiss Golden Messenger in the Oxford American and New York Magazine, and Chris Forsyth’s residency at Ortlieb’s.
PoB is delighted to join Johnny Cash’s longtime friend, visionary Nashville artist Chance Martin, in announcing the first-ever reissue of his 1981 private-press masterpiece. Ringleader, maestro, and indomitable troubadour of Nashville’s most private, elusive and exclusive far-out scene – the Dead End – Chance (aka Alamo Jones, the Voice in Black, aka the Stoned Ranger) could have stepped from the pages of a Charles Portis novel or Coen Bros. script.
US and Canadian tour dates, a Gunn-curated Springtime mix for The Liminal, and some kind words for Steve from Pitchfork and The Fader. Take some Time Off: pre-orders are now available.
Premiere of the new video for Hiss Golden Messenger’s “Busted Note,” plus a round-up of HGM press from the NY Times, the Indy Weekly, PopMatters, Blurt, Shuffle, Any Decent Music, and more.
We are now accepting pre-orders for Time Off by Steve Gunn (PoB-08). It’s the perfect head-nodder for those upcoming summer sessions! Order your LP, CD, or digital album now, and take advantage of special discounts and a drawing for a free record.
These are busy days at PoB HQ; lots going on with releases, press, and tours. Here’s an overview of some recent news and truths from Steve Gunn, Hiss Golden Messenger, Chris Forsyth, the Red Rippers, and Chance.
Dear reader, it’s Record Store Day, and you owe it to yourself and your local record merchants to pick up a copy of the new Golden Gunn LP, a collaboration between PoB artists Hiss Golden Messenger and Steve Gunn, with spiritual guidance and musical direction from Dickie Silk. A masterpiece of dead-end addresses, smoke machines, and indoor shades, it comes care of Three Lobed Recordings, stuck in the middle of Haw and Time Off.
On Tuesday, April 2, Chaz from Bull City Records in Durham, North Carolina was kind enough to host a record release party for Hiss Golden Messenger’s Haw. Read on for some photographic and audio evidence, including a stream of an extended, live “Cheerwine Easter.”
We’re delighted to share a full grip of Steve Gunn news! We’re cruising into the sweet Spring season with plenty of entertainment to offer care of Steve and the gang. Firstly, we’ve confirmed the release date for Time Off, Steve’s PoB debut and his most affecting and accessible work of pure songcraft to date. And Steve will be on tour with Kurt Vile this Spring and Summer!
