ITS ACTUALLY AN APATOSAURUS

14 JUNE 2008

Do you hear that distant, low rumbling? This record sounds nothing like that. The Rev is proud to announce its fifth release, Bronotsaurus : Human, now available in our webstore. The record is the result of April's Following Friday, where 12 bands played a song each. The compilation, a fundraiser for Capital District Federation of Ideas, sounds as great as you'd expect, packed to the brim with amazing Albany bands. All proceeds will go straight to keeping CDFI afloat.

LITTLE FLOWERS MAKE YOU DANCE LIKE A FOOL

6 JUNE 2008

The Rev is thrilled, honored, humbled to announce that this fall it will be releasing the first album by MotherJudge and Mitch Elrod. MJ and Mitch, each titans of the Albany music scene in their own rights, have been working on this collaborative release for, no joke, eight years. The results of their labors are nothing short of genius, and the Rev could not be happier to help bring it to the world. If you're having as much trouble waiting for the record as we are, join MotherJudge and Mitch tonight at Tang Museum at Skidmore College in Saratoga, NY, for a rooftop performance. Check back soon for their artist page, the first single's release, and more!

TOO MUCH ROCK FOR ONE BAND

10 APRIL 2008

The Rev gets some serious Albany love today for tomorrow's Following Friday Super Show. Write ups appear in two of our favorite loval media outlets, the Times Union and the hot new blog sensation All Over Albany. Thanks to both! To all the rest of you, I think you see how important it is that you show up tomorrow night. 7 pm sharp, $3 donation.

ACHEIVEMENT YOU CAN SET YOUR WATCH BY

5 MARCH 2008

During the month of February, along with thousands of bands around the world, The Rev family threw into the annual RPM Challenge. The creators of the Challenge ask that musicians create an album completely in one month; presumably, they chose the shortest month of the year to make it more interesting. The Rev president Harith Abdullah and longtime collaborator Jon Schubin used the opportunity to make a new record under the moniker 00shoe Troupe, a nine-year-old project born well before either of them knew how to make music. The Rev is delighted to offer the ensuing album, Good Day Monster, now available in our online store.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THIS MUCH ROCK

24 JANUARY 2008

Last February, we here at the Rev put on a rock show so epic, it could not be contained in just one year. Thus we are proud to announce the second annual Unreasonably Awesome Show will be held Friday, February 1 at Valentine's! This year, we've expanded the show to both floors, bringing you even more rock, but still for the ridiculously low price of just $5! If you can think of a reason to miss this, we'd sure like to hear it, right before we talk you out of it. Check out events section for the long and absurdly great list of performers.
