Label stuff was sort of (er, definitely) on the back burner for a few weeks since John, myself, and the rest of the Dead Weight family prepared for the public premiere on March 30th and 31st at the Time Community Theater in downtwon Oshkosh. We had two screenings, one per day, and they were both entirely sold out! Very exciting times for the DW family, exciting times indeed!
Now that the premiere has passed, my focus is back on the label until after the music festival at the end of April. There's not a ton more work to do, but loose ends to tie up and a few things I need to handle. Chiefly among them is the massive amount of merch I need to print. Thankfully I have my pal Scott to help out there! Alright, caffeine is taking over, I'll be typing an endless intro to this update if I don't jump into it now. Hold on, here we go!

I. GILEAD MUSIC FEST SOLD OUT (AND OTHER FEST NEWS)
Wow, hopefully you picked up a ticket if you wanted to attend because the Gilead Media Music Festival is SOLD OUT! Very exciting to finally reach that point. I figured it would sell out in pre-sales, but glad that it's one less thing to worry about at this point. If you missed out on picking up a ticket then I suggest you head over to the event page for the Fest on facebook, as a couple folks who can't use their tickets have been posting about it there, looking for people to pick em up. Check it: https://www.facebook.com/events/145804345523149/
And, with that news, a bit of bad news. LYCUS emailed me this last week to inform me that their bass player had quit and they will not be able to play the Fest. I'm very bummed myself about this, and the band passes along their apologies to all those that were looking forward to seeing LYCUS make their first midwest appearance.
Better news, though, is that BARGHEST have found a new drummer and are STILL ON for the Fest! Huzzah!
I have also decided to round up all of the test pressings I have lying around and bring those to the fest for sale. I'm also working on gathering some incredible items from bands performing at the fest for a raffle that will benefit the Oshkosh Area Humane Society. Look forward to a chance to win some great rare stuff there!
II. NEW DISTRO TITLES, DEAD WEIGHT DVDS
I didn't think there was all that much to add to the store, but it ended up being an excellent list of goodies! I may be a little partial, though. If you want to grab any of these jammers head over to the store/distro page: STORE / DISTRO.

Take care... talk soon!
Until next time,
