Recorded and mixed by Brian Paulson in Carrboro NC. Out now on HFQ! + THE CURTAINS OF NIGHT bring Lost Houses to HFQ on October 7, 2008. Recorded and mixed by Nick Petersen in Carrboro NC; a phenomenal debut from our favorite local doom-punk duo. + VIOLET VECTOR AND THE LOVELY LOVELIES have a few local shows coming up. EP I is a popular order at HFQ HQ...keep em coming! + UN DEUX TROIS is taking the next couple months off to finish writing their full length.

They may not be playing out, but they are still busy bees, contributing songs to Compulation III (Pox World Empire) and The Bedroom Music Compilation (Paperheart Music), one of which is a remix by local superheroes Robosapien! + BELLAFEA will be touring the East Coast and Midwest (Aug/Sept) and Europe (October) in support of Cavalcade, their debut full length released June 3, 2008 on Southern Records. + MOUNT MORIAH is resurrecting.
