(it’s their EP release party) and the most recent signing to the Castleface label, The Mallard. (Incredibly sick woodcut above also by Greer McGettrick)

We’re giving away tickets to the Halloween weekend Ty Segall + Nobunny show at Brick and Mortar Music Hall. Read more details here.
Extremely stoked to announce the following: Positive Destruction is partnering with our friends at Thee Parkside to throw our first Presents event Thursday, September 15th. The line-up features some of our favorites, including Mexican Summer-signed artist Part Time, the new Splinters side-project Pamela (it’ll be there tape release party), ex-Young Prism Jason Hendardy of Permanent Collection — and the San Francisco-premiere show for Stockton band Surf Club. DJing will be POW!‘s own Byron Blum.
Advance tickets are on sale for 5 bucks. Tickets at the door will be $7. Show time at 9pm — and since every band playing is amazing in their own right, you will want to get their early. 21+
