UPDATES!!!!
Ok, a lot to cover today, so here we go. First the new releases.
It is going to be a very busy year here at Ipecac.
*I'm assuming you all already have the latest Fantômas opus, DELIRIUM CORDIA. The 4th Fantômas full length is not scheduled yet but it is starting to look like early 2005 for that one. We have plenty for you while you wait.
MARCH
*The long anticipated Melvins 20th anniversary book NEITHER HERE NOR THERE comes out. This beautiful coffee table book includes a CD Melvins compilation available nowhere else. This book should be widely available. Sometime around March 9th we will be selling limited edition, autographed hardcover versions of this same book. Available only online at our webstore or if you catch the Melvins on the road on this mini US tour listed in the calendar section.
*Also in March, we introduce most of you to the most interesting band to come out of Germany in a looooooong time. Bohren and Der Club of Gore. We reissue their masterwork BLACK EARTH. This is a moody, atmospheric meditation unlike anything on Ipecac. Chill!
APRIL
*It gets crazy with a full length release from End titled THE SOUNDS OF DISASTER. This is sound collage madness. A pastiche of beats, electronics, lounge, rock and general b movie weirdness.
MAY
*We are very proud to reissue VIRIGINAL CO ORDINATES the most recent full length from multi talented musician Eyvind Kang. This was originally released by our friends at Angelica records in Europe and features our very own Mike Patton. A beautiful ambient excursion from the violinist who has worked with many artists including a band called Mr Bungle.
*In May we will also introduce you to the punk/metal supergroup Venomous Concept with their debut RETROACTIVE ABORTION. In the vein of Poison Idea, this band features members of Brutal Truth, Napalm Death and the Melvins. This is not a beautiful record!
JUNE
* We make it thru the halfway mark of 2004 by releasing the new full length from Trevor Dunn's Trio Convulsant. We begged our dear friend Trevor (Fantômas,Bungle) to fire up his trio again and he has obliged. We are eternally grateful, now it better be good!

*The second half of the year will be jammed with quality releases from Flat Earth Society, Melvins, Kaada, Isis, Dälek, Patton vs the X-ecutioners Ennio Morricone and....... maybe even the debut from Peeping Tom.

We will be introducing new t-shirts and the sort so keep an eye out on the Ipecac merchandise webstore and finally the much anticipated Mr Bungle t-shirts will be back in print at MrBungle.com in the VERY near future.Your chance to pay homage and line the pockets of the late great Bungle.

Stay tuned to stay up to date on tour dates in the calendar section, heck, we might even change the website around a bit.

* Also look for the launch of our friends label, AntAcidAudio. They kick off in March with the much talked about RekordsRekords co-release debut from the Eagles of Death Metal PEACE LOVE DEATH METAL featuring Jesse "the devil" Hughes and Josh Homme. Then in April AAA along with Wrong Records releases a very cool compilation by hall of famers NoMeansNo called THE PEOPLES CHOICE

Ok, now, back to work.
