HEH 1 - The Rest Of Kong (Extended Jams And Ideas), by Kong

Kong on Bandcamp.

'Rehearsal jams, demos and leftover ideas spanning the lifetime of the band. We spent a lot of time noodling. Some of this stuff made it into songs, most of it just sat on a hard drive for years.'

18 track album

Brew Records T-shirt by Brewrecords × Mercht

Thought this might be a good way of trying to raise some money for a couple of important causes.

Here’s your chance to own the classic Brew Records t-shirt design from 2011 which is long sold out.

All profits will be split equally between:

Black Protest Legal UK: a hub of Lawyers and legal advisors providing free legal advice and representation to UK Black Lives Matter activists and protesters.

And the Save Our Venues Crowdfunder in the UK.

You have 2 weeks before it goes off sale:

This weekend Blacklisters play with fellow dirt bags Wet Nuns, local sweat boxes Black Moth and scum lords These Monsters at new Leeds venue Belgrave Music Hall & Canteen. It's free entry too. Blacklisters will be on at 8pm. You'll also be able to buy slices of delicious pizza at the venue. Billy from B-listers has asked that if you are going to throw hot cheese at him then please make sure it's from a veggie pizza rather than anything meat based. Also mind his eyes.

HUMANFLY

Worst news since we ended the label :(

*** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT***

Following our show at The Brudenell Social Club in Leeds on 31st October 2013 we will be going on an indefinite hiatus.

We have played together as a band for almost thirteen years and now seems like a natural time for us to stop for the foreseeable future. This isn't to say that we won't play together further down the line, we just have no plans to do so right now. Relationships between the four of us are as strong as they have ever been but this seems like a natural point at which to disband and do other things.

A huge thank you to everyone who has given their time, energy and support to this band. We are beyond grateful to you.

Details for the show to be announced soon so please keep your eyes open. In the meantime, if anyone has any shows they'd like to book us for, now would be the time to get in touch.

Thank you!

John, Mat, Andy & Dave (HUMANFLY)
