ultra-fresh thanks!

December 09, 2009

hiphopBefore 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.

CUSTODIAN ultra-fresh details

custodian release webListen 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:
