Arbutus Photo Diary Part I

Gearing up for our tour down for SXSW with Grimes & Doldrums (check out the tour tab in the sidebar to your left for a show near you), I purchased a case of film to document the truck stop haircuts, the kitchen floor sleepovers and the margaritas under the Texan sun. I'll be posting them throughout the month of March and potentially afterward. In the meantime, here's what happened this week. Grimes got a cat and worked on producing some hot new hits. Sexy man Sean Nicholas Savage, poet/rapper/all-around-cool-guy Cadence Weapon and power duo Solar Year (not pictured!) played short sets in the living room of special birthday lady miss Emily Kai Bock (the lady behind our logos and these excellent documentaries and videos). Check out Silly Kissers mastermind David Carriere's homemade Savage Love t-shirt. More soon...

Arbutus presents NYE party in Vancouver, BC

Here at Arbutus we are taking our game westward -- you will find our bands in Vancouver, British Columbia this winter. For New Years Eve 2011, the sickest, next-level party will be held at eatART in collaboration with Unfamiliar Records and the Love Dancing crew. Catch local superstars Makeout Videotape play with Grimes, Sean Nicholas Savage, Blue Hawaii, Resorts (mem. Brasstronaught), and Paula (mem. Silly Kissers). No Gold will also be DJing alongside Love Dancing and Cadence Weapon. Tickets for this unforgettable night are already sold-out, but a Twitter account will be set up for the evening to announce capacity. There may be more spots available. Cool!



However, if you do miss this night, we will be preforming again at the Zoo Zhop on Jan 2nd. You can see Grimes, Sean, Blue Hawaii, Paula play all over again with the help of Terror Bird for an Arbutus Records showcase (Zoo Zhop 223, Main Street, $8 - 7pm, ).
