Thanks + Tapes + A Show

Sat, 01 Sep 2012 07:27:46 -0400

THANKS!

First of all, Martha would like to say thanks to everyone that’s sorted shows for us this week - they really have been up there with the best we’ve played. So yeah, thanks - it’s been really great. We got to play with some great bands - Ace Bushy Striptease, Vom Vorton, Slow Science, Sonic the Comic, Some Sort of Threat, Fulhäst, Ghosts of Dead Airplanes, T-Shirt Weather, Waskerley Way, Daniel Vs. The World, Andrew Lips and some band called ONSIND (or something).

TAPES!

London’s Odd Box Records and Win Htein Records have joined forces to re-release our most recent record on cassette! You can get it from us - http://martha.bigcartel.com or from either of the labels! They’re limited to 120 copies and they look cool as.

A SHOW!

In just under 2 weeks Martha will be back in London where we’re opening for Allo Darlin’ at King’s College. It should be a good ‘un! We’re pretty excited to be playing. You can get tickets here.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that’s supported Discount Horse over the past 5 years - if it wasn’t for all y’all I wouldn’t still be doing this - what I’d be doing? - I’m not so sure, but it wouldn’t be very good. So, yeah. Thanks.

Here’s a picture of me being grateful.

Our label, Discount Horse Records is 5 years old and to celebrate they’re selling a lot of stuff for cheap, including our CD (how dare they?!). For £25 you can get 2 albums by the Middle Ones, a Spoonboy album and an ONSIND album (11 CDs in total).
