The Austin based website Both Sides of the Mouth has a cool feature where they pose the question “what if you only have a short amount of time to acquaint yourself with a particular artist and need it to count?” It is appropriately called If you’ve only got. Well, the site was kind enough to pose the query- what if you only have 2 Minutes and 26 Seconds to get to know CUSTODIAN? They recommend Pop-A-Lock!
Check it:
“Coming in just in time to make a party out of your weekend are none other than Austinite duo CUSTODIAN. What else can you expect from a label that’s known to party? Rounding out the roster at Artifact Workshop Records – home to names you might have read on here recently like DJ Car Stereo (Wars) and Neiliyo – with another addition are Adreon Henry and Jay Bradley of CUSTODIAN. See that? All caps, so you know they’re serious. With backgrounds that sprout from performance art, Henry and Bradley bring forth a sound that’s definitively creative and unique. With these artistic roots at their backing as they press forth into a realm of dance, CUSTODIAN is one group that’s sure to throw hearty arty parties.”
Thanks to Both Sides of the Mouth for the continued support! If you would like to order the CUSTODIAN album Ultra-Fresh today we still have some Free Tshirts to give out with it while supplies last! Hop to it!
We sat on this for a while waiting for just the right time to reveal it and now, here we are! In the middle of an NBC civil war, this recap video of CUSTODIAN’s Ultra-Fresh reminds us of a simpler time: a time of dancing and horse masks. Have I said too much? Just watch the video and learn:
As you can see in the video, Ultra-Fresh comes packaged in a janitorial soapbox. If you act fast you can order yours and get a free limited edition T Shirt along with your soapbox. We will contact you after you place your order about your preferred size…

Big thanks to Austin Sound for their shout out of the new CUSTODIAN single Pop-A-Lock and their endorsement of it’s danceability.
They were kind enough to state that Artifact Workshop “keeps putting out albums that seem determined, against all odds, to make Austin a veritable beat happening.”
Thanks Austin Sound! Keep up the good work covering all things Austin music related! Read the whole blurb HERE.
Don’t forget to order your limited edition copy of the first CUSTODIAN release Ultra-Fresh HERE and receive a FREE CUSTODIAN T shirt! Whoo-hoo!
Whoo- Hoo! CUSTODIAN got some niiiiiice love from Austin’s premier dance party blog the Peen Scene. The great thing about this site is not only do they keep the town up to date on all things nightlife related, they also take a mean picture wherever they go. I heard they are in the running for an Oscar this year. Just saying…
Check out what they have to say about Pop-A-Lock:
“When I jam this new track, “Pop-A-Lock”, by Artifact Workshop artist CUSTODIAN(caps lock is a must), I don’t know whether to wil’ out or double check my car doors. Just download it and see wtf I mean. CUSTODIAN is the new project of former Single Frame member Adreon Henry and partner in crime Jen Bradley…. Anyway, the download of this mp3 is a must, shit is dance punk freshness at its best.”
CUSTODIAN’s debut release is still available with a free T-Shirt if you order online NOW just in time for the holidays! Order your limited edition copy HERE.
Before Thanksgiving is too distant a memory, we want to take time to thank to everyone who came out to the CUSTODIAN EP release at Birds Barbershop. The show was a great success. As always, CUSTODIAN rocked the barbershop and brought the arty party like no one else. Leah Ross was on hand filming the E.A.S.T. happening…stay tuned for the sure-to-be-awesome recap. Old friends turned up to dance, drink, and lend a hand. We made a few new ones, some of whom started a fantastic (albeit unexpected) conga line. To all those who came out, we are truly grateful for your support! Stayed tuned for more awesomeness from Artifact Workshop and friends.
**If you missed the party, don’t worry. You can live vicariously by purchasing the limited addition Ultra-Fresh EP HERE! Just pop in the CD, load up on Lone Star, don a costume horse head and presto! Instant AW sanctioned fun! We’ll even throw in a free CUSTODIAN t-shirt for the first 20 online sales.
The CUSTODIAN debut EP Ultra-Fresh is now available for sale online! The CD comes packaged in a janitorial soap sponge box and is extremely limited edition; only 100 were made. The first 20 sold online get a free CUSTODIAN T-Shirt as well! You CANNOT BEAT THAT DEAL! (When you order we will write you and clarify your size!)

Listen up! The album release of Ultra-Fresh by CUSTODIAN Is happening this Saturday November 21st at the Birds Barbershop on East 6th! Here, you will be treated to the East Austin Studio Tour artwork, hot toonz from DJ Andy (the Mouth) and lastly a clean and fresh performance from the guests of honor: CUSTODIAN. Lonestar Beer will be out in full effect making sure everyone is having a grand ol time but it is pretty hard to go to an event at Austin institution Birds Barbershop and not walk away with a giant grin on your face. This will be the first time the limited edition janitorial soapboxes containing a CD in them (along with a few other surprises) will be for sale. Our logic is that since the music that CUSTODIAN makes comes as a re-purposing puree of other materials , the packaging should be no different. The box will be hand numbered and be extremely limited edition making it a fine addition to any collection. Or it could rest beneath your kitchen sink.
We look forward to seeing you there to celebrate this great release! Please help us spread the word about this FREE show. It is from 5-9pm so you can still make plans for later in the night!
To whet your appetite, be sure to grab a track from the record!
Thanks so much for stopping by the site! We are really gearing up for the big CUSTODIAN Ultra-Fresh release November 21st at Birds Barbershop on East 6th. The complicated packaging is really starting to take shape and we can’t be more excited for people to start to hear to EP. If you aren’t careful, the catchy hooks will dig into your brain like a boll weevil. Check out the song that threatens to break into your car in such a bouncy way that it actually seems like an alright statement:
