Support Dublab with Empty Cellar Flashpacks

Stretching through genres with the malleable medium of radio, dublab is a nonprofit web radio station that couldn’t operate without you, its listeners. With 12 years of inventive and continuous programming, the world’s best eclectic djs are devoted to engagement with an expansive range of sounds. Currently in the final legs of its Spring 2011 donation-based fundraiser, Turning on Tomorrow Proton Drive, dublab is just now wrapping up a 24 Hour “No Sleep Session”, an insomniac marathon of notable DJs and artists spinning. Another way to help out is by purchasing flashpacks, a prize bundle of albums for a great price. Empty Cellar Records is offering two sets of these flashpacks spanning our entire discography – you don’t want to miss out!

Pillars and Tongues on tour!

Pillars and Tongues hit the road tomorrow to tour the US South, Midwest, and East Coast. (Details Here.) Pillars and Tongues are a remarkable experience live. The lush soulful dreamscapes charted in their performaces, each a fluid braid of improvised and composed lyrical forms, are for many a truly rewarding aural and spiritual experience. The band’s new album, The Pass and Crossings, will be out June 28 via our very own Empty Cellar Records (more soon!).

Live Videos of The Sandwitches & Pillars and Tongues

A couple weeks before SxSW, The Sandwitches played a show at the Shattuck Down Low in Berkeley where they performed an exclusive acoustic set in the venue’s bathroom for Echolocale. The result is an intimate and beautiful video document featuring selections from Mrs. Jones’ Cookies and Duck, Duck, Goose!. Check out The Sandwitches performing “Summer of Love” below and visit Echolocale for videos of two more radical tunes:

Meanwhile, Pillars and Tongues stopped by The Cake Shop with Dark Dark Dark after appearing at Iowa’s Mission Creek Festival to perform an entrancing set with a fully realized arrangement of the band (including Jonathan Kaiser of Dark Dark Dark). Watch below an unreleased track, “The Palms to Tell”, off of their forthcoming album The Pass and Crossings on Empty Cellar.
