News, Reviews, Fires, Shows
Been an eventful couple of weeks for the Founding Fathers family. Here's the breakdown.
KOOZE NEWS
Our man Joe Kusy recently got some favorable digital ink from celebrated record blogs Yellow Green Red and Still Single. We've only got a few hand-labeled first presses left to sell, and when they're gone, they're gone. Shipping them out on a first come, first serve basis. You know what to do.
Joe Kusy - Popcorn Salamander 7" 45RPM EP
50 (or so) Hand Labeled First Presses, 300 with fully printed center labels
Since we're getting international orders in (well played, Denmark and France) here's an updated payment plan for the PayPal masses.
$8 USA
$9 Canada
$12 The World
If you live in a nation other than ours and already PayPal'd the initial $8, fear not. We're still shipping your records at the initial cost.
And while you're blind drunk on tequila in Philadelphia tomorrow night --
GOLD CROWNS NEWS
Due to a fire at Founding Fathers HQ, our friendly claims adjuster decided to buy a whole bunch of Gold Crowns 7"s. He was so enthusiastic about it that he bought'm by the dozens, leaving only a few for the 'Crowns to sell at their upcoming gigs. If you want one, you'd do well to get it soon.
Gold Crowns - If Looks Could Kill b/w Moonshine
7" 45 RPM, ??? Copies
$8 USA
$9 Canada
$12 The World
...and if you want both in the same mailer with some bonus goodies
$14 USA
$16 Canada
$22 The World
The Crowns also received some back-handed compliments from Matt over at YGR. Read at your leisure.
They'll be bringing it live at this years Wheat Beer Fest at the South Philadelphia Taproom with Adam & Dave's Bloodline, The Extraordinaires and more.
All day block party
Saturday May 19th
15th and Mifflin
Free, and not to be missed
THE FUTURE
What's next? Why it's a 12" 33RPM LP from the now defunct Dog and Pony. It's an absolute fucking monster of a record, and we can't wait for you to hear it. Take first single 'Dentist Appointment' for a spin over on our SoundCloud.
We'll also have a bunch of live cassettes coming out in short-run editions over the next few months - keep your eyes peeled at Founding Fathers' recording artist gigs and this web log for details.
Stay safe. FF.

Upcoming Shows
Been a minute since I got to updating this oft neglected web log, but here's the scoop on some upcoming shows to note.
New York City's ORGANS roll into town for the first night of their spring tour on Thursday, April 5th. GOLD CROWNS'll be there to help send the boys off into the wild, great unknown with a FREE SHOW at MURPH'S - that dive across from Johnny $penda's. Cheap thrills in the North Country. Cash bar, 21+, 9PM and we'll keep it early-ish for all you working stiffs.
The thirsty masses down South already had their thirst for the Kooze slaked during Fangtooth's SXSW crawl, and now it's time to release all 7 hot, hard inches of his POPCORN SALAMANDER EP on Philadelphia. So keep this two-day party going at the STATION (16th and McKean) on Friday, April 6th to celebrate the release of this 4 headed monster, with support from the ROBO TRIPPERS (making a rare appearance on the live stage) and PLURAL DOVES. $5, 21+, cheap booze, South Philly fun.
Big shouts to Dave for making these gigs happen in a pinch. Founding Fathers & Flash Mob Productions - better together.

JOE KUSY - POPCORN SALAMANDER 7" 45 EP AVAILABLE NOW
We here at Founding Fathers are proud to present the mighty Joe Kusy's debut 45, "Popcorn Salamander." Made in Philadelphia in 2012, it's a record that transcends time and genre. Four revved-up, psyched-out, space-jammin' ramblers from the mind of a mad man, it should be considered essential listening for anyone with a brain and a pulse. We'd write more, but we're too busy running back to the stereo to flip this baby again and again and again...
350 (or so) pressed.
50 first presses have hand stamped and numbered center labels.
300 with fully printed center labels.
Listen to a sampler courtesy of noted Philadelphian Michael Sabolicky over here.
Buy it now, or regret it later when you see it up on the wall for, like, 50 bucks behind some slob at the record store.
***STILL AVAILABLE***
