Announcing The Sandwitches – Duck, Duck, Goose! 12″ EP!

Empty Cellar and Secret Seven Records are excited to announce The Sandwitches new One-Sided 12″ EP – Duck, Duck, Goose!

On their latest Vinyl release, Heidi and Grace from San Francisco’s The Sandwitches perform four heartbreaking acoustic lullabies interwoven with the spookiest sessions of Duck, Duck, Goose! ever caught on tape. Recorded and Produced by Wymond Miles (The Fresh & Onlys) and The Sandwitches, Duck, Duck, Goose! features haunting renditions of Tim Cohen’s “Rock of Gibraltar” (a bonus track from the Two Sides of Tim Cohen), and of the Oscar-nominated ballad “Baby Mine”, from what some say is the most heartbreaking moment in Disney cartoon history. Stamped on one-sided 12″ vinyl, the initial pressing of this EP is limited to 500 copies brought to you by Empty Cellar and Secret Seven Records.

The record will be released on July 13th and is currently available for presale at the Empty Cellar and Secret Seven Records stores.

Check out this devastating video of The Sandwitches’ rendition of “Baby Mine” for a sneak preview:

7″ Inches Review & Podcast + Joseph Childress Live at Yoshi’s (SF) + Sandwitches 7″

 

I have recently come to realize that bloggers might be one of independent music’s greatest allies. Not that we didn’t kind of already know; but really, I am not sure that we could have gotten the word out about “The Two Sides of Tim Cohen” if it wasn’t for all the help we received from music writers online. As we were preparing to release of the Joseph Childress / White White Quilt – Split (Water Tower) 7″, we came across several great blogs that feature 45’s & 7″ records exclusively.

Here are just a few of the ones we found (there are many more out there):
7 Inches
I Think I Hate My 45s
Dereks Daily 45s
7 Inch of the Day
7 Inches from the Underground

We are fortunate enough to be currently featured on Jason Dean’s 7 Inches blog, for the Water Tower Split. You can read Jason’s review of that record here. He also invited us to do an interview for his podcast. You can access that podcast at this post. We are honored. Hopefully I did not make a fool of myself in the interview.

Speaking of Joseph Childress… He will be playing tomorrow (Sun 9/20) at Yoshi’s Songwriter’s Sunday with two others, Roberto Miguel & Mason Lindahl. Check it out if you can.

8:00pm-Midnight
1330 Fillmore at Eddy

…and speaking of 7 Inches, the Sandwitches finished recording their acoustic 7″ e.p. for Empty Cellar Record at the Garden Chamber this week. It will be titled Duck, Duck, Goose. They will be mixing the record with engineer/producer Wymond Miles when he gets back from tour with the Fresh & Onlys. Can’t wait to hear it!
