Star F*cking Hipsters recording with Fat Mike

Star Fucking Hipsters, the new project from Sturgeon of Leftover Crack have posted an update on progress towards their next full length:

We are so fucking close to finishing this thing. All of the music has been recorded and most of the vocals. The second week of Ápril, Nico and myself will go to Motor studios in San Fransisco for ten days to finish our debut record with the help of Fat Mike producing and Jamie McMann, the engineer and co-recorder of our side of the “Deadline” split between Leftover Crack and Citizen Fish.

We have been working sporadically all last year with Ryan Jones at Atomic studios in Queens recording and mixing the tentatively titled “Allergic to Peoples” and Fat Mike has expressed interest in helping us finely polish the turd we have been lovingly working on for half a year. The question/rumor has arisen that this record will be on Fat and I don’t know the answer. If I owned a record label and I was helping to produce a bands record, I’d probably want to put the thing out, so the possibility is high, but nothing is confirmed and it hasn’t properly been discussed as of yet.

I suppose Star Fucking Hipsters is looking at a late summer/early fall record release with shows to coincide, maybe we’ll headline Cracktoberfest this year?

The band also includes Slackers drummer Ara Babajian and Frank Piegaro of New Jersey’s Degenerics. You can check out some material on their myspace page.

Garrett (guitar) leaves The Riot Before

The Riot Before The Riot Before has announced that guitarist Garrett has decided to leave the band:

Garrett has decided to no longer play with us. It’s not on bad terms and we wish him the best of luck in the future. We are currently looking for a replacement guitar player. Until then we will be working on new material and do a five day tour with Dirty Tactics from Philly, as a three piece…might be wierd.

The band will enter the studio in May to record a new release, then “tour heavily” for the rest of the year.
