May Store Update and Upcoming New Release Info

May 08, 2017

Hey there everyone. It’s been a while since I’ve announced a new distro update, the main reason being I had wanted to launch all these new items and restocks with the brand spankin’ new Robotic Empire website launch but things are taking a bit longer then I thought with that. Since I’m not wanting to rush the new store along, I’ve decided to go ahead and list these new additions and restocks and let you guys get at them now. There are so many great albums sitting around here staring me in the face, I couldn’t take it any longer so here’s a full May update for you below. Hopefully the new shopify store will be ready to roll later this month and it’s sure been a long time coming. A new Robotic Empire T-shirt is being designed by Aaron Powers of New Antlers and that will be available when the new store launches!

It’s been a lovely, long and rainy spring up here at Robo HQ. With all that rain there have been some massive road washouts in the area and detours up the wazoo. Here’s a neat video of one of the main washouts in Robo’s area 395 Washout Video Luckily the route I take to the post office when hauling your orders has not been affected.

When that new store launches, it may even be time to start accepting pre-orders on two new Robotic Empire releases for the summer. Thou’s – Peasant 2×12″ is now underway, test presses should be headed to the band soon. A July 14th release date has been set for that one and those guys are going on tour this summer. Peasant will be available at shows and here in the Robotic Empire online store, along with a new Thou T-shirt! More info to come on that as it progresses.

The Big Hush album is currently in production for an August release date and I’m sure we’ll have them in stock long before that warm summer month arrives. Tour dates for Big Hush will be announced soon and I’m hoping to make my way off the mountain and travel to Seattle to see them live. That would certainly make my summer.

Also in related news, Pygmy Lush have written a new album and it’s about to begin mastering with Carl Saff! I’ve heard that tour dates are possible for those guys too, so I’ll keep you informed as I find out.

There are a few other things in the works over here but I’ll save those tidbits for another time. I highly suggest taking a few moments to glance down through the below lists. It would be a waste of time to try and highlight items from this update because pretty much all of it deserves your attention. I’ll just let you read down the lists and head over to the store to pick up any new tunes that strike your fancy.

The wild turkeys are out (waking me up at the crack of ass in the morning with their ridiculous gobbling..) and so are the bears. The elk have moved on to alternate summer grazing grounds now that the bulls have dropped their racks. Summer heat will be here before I know it so I’m making sure to enjoy all the cool and rainy weather hiking around with the pups in search of those elk sheds. So far no luck but things are green and lush and blooming! Please know that any orders you place from this fresh store update are directly funding the new summer Robo releases. Take care, thanks for reading, and your support is seriously appreciated!
