New band announced for the 100 Club:

CLUB003: Gum blur the lines between noisepop and shoegaze. This four piece band (2 women, 2 men) are white hot live and they released a brilliant EP (Seventeen) on Tiny Lights last year. They're promising new recordings for the 100 Club. We can not wait to what they come up with.

Here's one of their earlier tunes:

Tyrannosaurus Dead got a wee mention in the NME today (feels odd, given the NME isn't what it once was):

A 15 song compilation comprising 1 song for each release on Odd Box in 2013. Many from the sold out Crackle! Fuzz! Pop! singles club and Volume 1. of The 100 Club Series of 7" singles.

The only act missing is Martha. Their fab single for the 100 Club Series has recently been repressed by the fab folks at Discount Horse. So you best pick up those songs from them. Seems fair, doesn't it?

Thanks to The Blanche Hudson Weekend, Fever Dream, Tyrannosaurus Dead, Noun Verb Adjective, The Wolfhounds, Flowers, Gum, Year Of Birds, Martha, Cars Can Be Blue, Giant Burger, Good Grief, City Yelps, Sock Puppets, Ace Bushy Striptease and Humousexual for being ace and letting Odd Box help release their songs in 2013.

Here's a quick run down of what is going on in Odd Box land:

The Hundredth Anniversary have a new 5 song EP coming out on Odd Box in March. You can pre-order now on Bandcamp.

The Wendy Darlings are releasing their debut album in April. It's a cracker. You can, of course, pre-order the CD via Bandcamp again.

The Odd Box Distro has recently started. We're selling good shit from the likes of Dora Maar, Ela Orleans, Martha, ONSIND, CIty Yelps etc.

The Odd Box Weekender is fast approaching. We've got 21 bands over 3 days at the start of May. Including the 1st show (in 5 years) from the reformed The Manhattan Love Suicides. Weekend passes close to being sold out, too.

The 100 Club Series Vol.2 is close to being sold out on Subscription. So act fast. We have individual copies of each release too. These are selling fast. We have 19 Sock Puppets, 22 Dog Legs, 29 King of cats, 26 City Yelps and 22 Bloomer 7s remaining. Super limited edition of just 100. The first 3 7s should be ready for posting in early March. With City Yelps and King Of Cats following in April.

Vol.3 of The 100 Club Series will be out between July-Dec'14. We've lined up 5 more terrific acts for this volume: The Manhattan Love Suicides, Chorusgirl, Heathers, Year Of Birds and Sweet Benfica.

And the latest 2 singles by The Wolfhounds are close to selling out. Just 300 of each pressed. We've got 80ish copies of 'Anthem' and about 50 copies of 'Divide & Fall' remaining. Again available via our bandcamp.

So yeah, go buy a record, come to the Weekender.... support your DIY scene.

Here's the front design for the very limited edition Odd Box Tees that are going to be on sale soon (available at the Weekender too).

The Tees will probably be white with black print. There will be a print on the back that says 'GETTING ODDER'.

If you want one just indicate the size you'd like (S-XXXL)...

(any takers?)
