DO YOU BOOK DIY SHOWS?-All of you who book shows across the United States or
actually anywhere in the world, get in touch. Trying to build a good network of
DIY venues/promoters for Asian Man Records bands. So get in touch if you can
help with booking. mikeasianman@aol.com

TRADES: Anybody live in the bay area?? Near San Francisco? Want to trade stuff
for Asian Man cds, shirts, etc. What free stuff you ask?? Basically
anything...if you work in a restaurant, theater, any type of entertainment like
arcades, batting cages, amusement parks, blah blah....anything. Let's trade!!
Anything we have at Asian Man is up for trade. Actually, even if you live in a
different state/country get in touch as I tour often and perhaps will end up
through your town. BOOYAH!!

Happy Wednesday to all...

And... this is the debut of Neil Hennessey(lawrence arms) on drums. my oh my..
it sounds so good.

Ok, gonna try to keep up with doing a weekly deal, so here is this weeks deal.
Since the almighty SLAPSTICK will be reuniting for one last time at the asian
man 15 year anniversary, I thought it would be a good idea to do a deal that
celebrated the occasion.
Let's do 50% off their DVD of the last show they ever did, so we can compare to
when we see them in June. So yes.. that's only $5 for the next week. You can
find this on the front page near the bottom where it says DEALS.

And finally, just updated the site with a bunch of stuff that I thought were
gone forever. Most of this is super limited quantities. No more than 20
copies, so check out the list if you've been looking for any of this out of
print music. We've also added some new titles including a couple new Shinobu 7
inches and some other distro titles. Also, added a few new shirts and some sale
items. WOOP WOOP!!
