Black Market Activities News - signed paria, DwD breaks up[views:14885][posts:0]______________________________________ [Mar 30,2004 5:45pm - the_reverend ""] Tuesday, March 30th: Paria Signs with Black Market Activities We are proud to announce that we have signed Omaha, Nebraska's Paria. The band started recording their currently untitled debut full length for BMA this afternoon at the Ranch Bowl in Omaha. According to the band, their new material is "much more all over the place, experimental and grindy" than their previous 2-song disc on Imagine It Records. Having been fortunate enough to check some of the new material, it is heavy, in your face and the drumming is absolutely ridiculous. Check two of the band's older tracks at http://www.hxcmp3.com/bands/284/. In other news, the band is in the process of booking shows and tours for the summer. Parties interested in booking the band, please contact them at cynicsix@aol.com. www.pariamusic.com Dead Water Drowning Breaks Up We are sad to report that NH's Dead Water Drowning has broken up. Formed in early 2002, the band released their debut for BMA last summer and followed it with a 3 week tour alongside The Red Chord, Premonitions of War & The Black Dahlia Murder. Shortly after, a founding member of the band left and a series of line-up complications followed for months to come. The band plans to play one final show but the details have not been solidified. Each member plans to continue doing something music related. Vocalist, Nate Johnson has officially joined Premonitions of War and drummer, Jon Dow will be filling in for The Red Chord on their upcoming tour dates. Anyone interested in DWD merch please contact the band directly at getupoffmesucka@aol.com and keep an eye out for the details on their last show. Ed Gein Benefit Package After the van fiasco this winter--where their van, trailer, equipment and personal belongings were stolen--Ed Gein is back in commission, writing new material for their BMA debut. In the meantime, to rally some funds for new gear and to get their van back in working order so they can tour this summer, we have organized a benefit pack for the band that will include a T-shirt, pins & stickers commemorating the van catastrophe. For info on the benefit packet and its availability please contact aaron@ed-gein.com. Their a great band and swell guys so please help them out!
