News Update

The announcement lists are back (for real this time)!

We have completed the setup of the announcements lists using Google Groups. As before, there are two lists. One for news updates and one for calendar updates.

We have decided against moving the subscriber list over manually because there are hundreds and hundreds of dead emails in our current subscriber list. So we would like to ask you to resubscribe if you'd like to continue to recieve updates from us. If you have emailed us asking to be unsubscribed from the previous lists, then you don't need to do anything. You will not receive any future emails from us.

You can (re)subscribe by filling out the form at the top of either the news page, the calendar page, or both!

If anyone has any questions or problems, please contact webmaster@ipecac.com.

Hey Yo! What's happening? As you can see in the calendar section, the Fantômas crue is heading out to do some shows in Japan and Australia to continue the SUSPENDED ANIMATION celebration tour. Grab em while they are hot. Dave Lombardo will providing the drums on this mini jaunt.
We need to address a couple issues that many don't seem to understand. The band is very disappointed that they are only playing 4 shows in Australia. That is all that they were offered. We are bummed that our friends in Adelaide, Canberra, etc & New Zealand will not be able to easily witness these shows. We undertstand that because of the economy a lot of bands are not being offered as many shows as usual. Hopefully things will change in the near future.
Likewise the band will NOT be touring South America this Fall. They received some offers but the offers were not enough to make it financially feasible. Their booking agent is working feverishly though to try to get you some Fantômas in South America eventually. Much love to our peeps in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico.

Lots of cool stuff happening!
We just released the vinyl version of the newest Queens of the Stone Age record "Lullabies To Paralyze" on vinyl that includes bonus tracks!!! This is a cool record.
Fantômas is working on tour dates in China, Japan, Australia and South America ALL in the month of September. Stay tuned for info.....SOON!
HUGE thanks to the incomparable Terry Bozzio who did the recent Fantômas tour on drums. There are a lot of questions/rumors about the status of Dave Lombardo. He is still the drummer in the band but his schedule is very tricky, so from time to time Terry has offered to step in. Our luck. 2 very different but 2 of the very best skinsmen alive!
New Fantômas stuff in the merch section of the website!
The Melvins do indeed have a new bass player! And more? Details soon.
New releases: We introduce you to Iceland's MUGISON and Russia's Messer Chups In October. Wait til you check out these!!!!!
In November our sister label AntAcidAudio will be releasing the new Altamont (Melvins Dale Crover's other band) "The Monkees Uncle"
Working on mailing list problems , we apologize, stay tuned.
