It's still a work in progress, as I'm writing this, but for your delight and wonderment we now present to you, dear friends, the new look sharkbatter.com. I particularly like the fact that the jukebox carries on playing while you explore the site.
2008 has been a busy year for the label. We had six releases in the space of six months by: The Stone Ghost Collective, The Stark Palace, Vacuum Spasm Babies and Kono Michi. We got quite a bit of UK radio play for each of those. Vic Galloway has played all four acts on his Radio 1 in Scotland show and Tom Robinson and Nemone at BBC 6Music have been keen supporters of the label. Mr Robinson has even been using The Stark Palace's "CroMagnon Man" as an "audio bed" on his Introducing... show, after the band were invited to record a session in the hub.
With the release of Kono Michi's Living Room Disappearance EP we were invited into the refined chambers of Radio 3, in our fanciest tuxes and evening frocks (metaphorically speaking) when Lopa Kothari played "When I Don't Come Back" on her World on 3 show. Yum!
Plans are afoot for a couple of more releases before the year's out. Gigs too: Kono Michi will be playing her first solo UK dates from the end of November and there should be a few Vacuum Spasm Babies shows too in the months ahead.
