Jamie Barnes & Remora

Posted on January 7, 2007 by Brian John Mitchell

Rollerball is now on MySpace.  Go be their friends.

We finally got in the new Jamie Barnes album The Recalibrated Heart for sale.

Remora is kinda busy lately – the a cappella EP songs i sing is wrapping up in the artwork, recording a radio session for PiNG THiNGS is under way, & work on demos for the next album (maybe this fall?) is going on as well.

As some of you may know, our long time intern Ethel Bohning went into the hospital last month with cancer.  While the cancer is seeming to have been surgically removed in time before it had a chance to spread, the effects of being trapped in a hospital bed for a few weeks seems to have some long term detrimental effects both mentally & physically.  So if you are the praying type, please put her in your list.

So we’re having a sale with a bunch of discs at pretty deep discounts to try to generate a little money to help him get back on the road.

October News

Posted on October 16, 2006 by Brian John Mitchell

Been busy the past few weeks getting the new label sampler out to some stores & radio stations, so hopefully some of you will be a little more likely to hear our stuff on the radio & in your local indie record shop.  If you run an indie record store & want a copy, let us know.

The other thing going on is working on this year’s Christmas compilation, but it’s coming together now & I’ll let you know when the free download of it is available in a few weeks.

There’s a recent interview with Black Happy Day up at Ptolemaic Terrascope.

Clang Quartet is doing a tour up the east coast, check out the dates on our calendar.

I’ve been realizing lately that I’m over-working myself a bit, so if anyone is interested in doing some intern work for Silber over the phone & internet, let me know.

This week Jon DeRosa (Aarktica) had the privilege of being the special guest on Uncle LD’s High Bias radio show…This week’s episode: Oh My Goth!: The Second Coming. We pretty much goof around and hear some of LD’s favorite, obscure (and anything but obvious) dark tunes, as well as some tracks from my teen-angst goth band Dead Leaves Rising and current project Aarktica….

Vlor, Label Sampler, Worms, & Radio Features

Posted on September 27, 2006 by Brian John Mitchell

Updating this page keeps slipping my mind, but here’s what’s going on.

There will be a little feature on the Black Happy Day CD on KFJC, Tuesday October 3rd. It will be around 20 minutes long with music & conversation, & will occur somewhere between 6:00 – 7:00 pm west coast time. it’s part of a bigger show that takes up the whole hour.

The Collective Voice Podcast has a full length feature on Silber complete with tons of interviews to be posted on Saturday, September 30, 2006.

We have a new mini-comic written by Brian John Mitchell & drawn by Kimberlee Traub called Worms.  It’s a bit surreal/claustrophobic, go figure.

We have a new label sampler finally after about 7 years.  22 tracks covering 22 of the last 40 releases from the past several years.  You can buy it on our front page.

From the vaults come Vlor‘s “sacred places in the city” EP which was recorded back in 1999, but only now released.  The original Vlor of Russell Halasz & Brian John Mitchell doing there best to develop a shoegaze & repetition style.  It’s an MP3 release & you can download it for free.

The new Rivulets album is about to come out on Important Records.

Thank you all for your support, it means a lot to us.
