Sunken Treasure Records

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Andyman’s shows this past weekend. Each crowd was bigger than the night before! It was an amazing event and Megan, along with everyone at Sunken Treasure, were floored by how great everyone was. Thanks again!

You can purchase the album (single album or with the bonus disc) by clicking the STORE button on the top of the page… Or visit iTunes!

You’ll be able to buy the album next week!

Sunken Treasure Records is proud to announce the second album by Megan Palmer, Take You Away.

Recorded partly in Joshua Tree, CA with Tim Easton and Bingo from the Thriftstore Allstars, and partly in the suburbs of Columbus, OH w/ Eric Metronome. Guests on the record include, but are not limited to, Victoria Williams. This one is a little more songwriter driven than her debut. Jenny Lewis meets Emmylou Harris. I’ve been listening to various mixes of the record since June and it’s more or less the only thing I listen to. I can’t wait for you to hear it! I think it’s going to surprise a lot of people (in a good way, of course!).

The first edition will be a limited run of 500, hand silk screened packaging by Nick of Alison Rose. We’ll be releasing an extreme limited 2-disc version of the album, including extra songs, acoustic versions, and more. The two disc version will be limited to 200 copies (and then it’s off to iTunes land).

Listen to three new songs from the record on Megan’s MySpace page.

Set your calendars:

Album Release Weekend @ Andyman’s Treehouse
11/16 - with Joe Kile and TBA

We wanted to let you know that The Celebrity Pilots are self-releasing their second album, “Spooky Action.” It’s an amazing record, full of all the orchestral pop you’d come to expect from the band. You can order it at CDBaby now.

They’re having an album release show @ Carabar in Columbus on Saturday, so be sure to stop by if you can. We wish them well on their new record!!

Yo, thanks Other Paper readers. We tied with Weightless Recordings as best record label in Columbus. We were unaware of this contest, and frankly if we would have known we certainly would have stuffed the ballots….

Miranda Sound has been added to the CD101 Summerfest on Saturday, August 11, with Silversun Pickups, Sea Wolf, VHS or Beta, and more!

If you don’t want to own a phsyical copy (available in our store or Relapse Records) of the new Evil Queens album, don’t worry. The album is now available via iTunes, eMusic, Napster, etc etc etc. Head on over to the store page for all the links.

10PM: The Evil Queens @ Offramp

We’re really excited to announce that The Evil Queens will be opening for Australian throwback rockers Wolfmother on Friday, June 29 at The L.C. in Columbus OH. This is an outdoor show, so it’s sure to be tons o’ fun.

The album is “officially” out worldwide in July (when you’ll be able to buy it on iTunes, eMusic, etc.), but you can buy the album directly from us now. Fuck the middle man.

This limited edition of 500 was individually numbered and the packagin was hand silk-screend in the Clint Reno Laboratory. Buy it in the Sunken Treasure store now.

PS: Thanks to everyone who came to the Bourbon St release show last night, it was a blast.

The boys in Miranda Sound write:

Miranda Sound finale at LBROS
Sunday, June 3
6 PM Doors - ALL AGES
FREE ADMISSION for 21+
($2 for under age)

To serve our own needs and to hopefully entertain you, dear mailing list, we’ve decided to book one final Little Brother’s show. Mark your calendar: Sunday, June 3.

Here is the good news: it’s ALL AGES, it’s SUPER EARLY and it’s FREE (except $2 for under 21).

We also plan to record the show for a proper release on audio and video. Thus, we are going to dig deep and play a very comprehensive set of songs.

If you don’t know the details about Little Brothers, you can read Dan Dougan’s open letter here.

Dan, Ike, Ben and everyone who work at Little Brothers have been ridiculously kind to us. The club has provided us with countless opportunities: We’ve shared the stage with so many great bands, including our heroes (The Posies, Nada Surf, etc) and so many other great bands we call our friends (The Wrens, Pretty Mighty Mighty, The Whiles, Two Cow, etc).

We hope you can make it out for one last set at Little Bros. We plan on bringing the proverbial rock hammer.

Seriously. 6 PM, Sunday June 3. You can’t beat the price and you’ll be home in time to watch your favorite teleprograms. Plus, it’s your chance to be a vocal part of a future live release.

Sorry for being so mellow-dramatic, but this show means a ton to us. We hope you can make it.

See you there.

We’ve added Donewaiting.com, Volume One: Miranda Sound vs Tiara to the online store. This limited edition vinyl features 4 songs from Miranda Sound and four songs from Eric Metronome’s old band, Tiara. The packaging was hand silk screened and the release was limited to only 500 copies. If you’d like to own one, head on over here, ladies and sirs.

I’m really happy to announce that we’re going to be releasing the fourth album by Columbus OH heavy hitters The Evil Queens. I’ve been friends with them for a long time so I’m really excited about this.

The packaging for this release is a little different than the other albums on Sunken Treasure. Each CD’s packaging is hand silk screened and individually numbered. We know these days people are losing interest in buying CDs, so we want to make it more of an artifact and worth your while. You’ll be able to buy the album online (phsyical version or via iTunes) soon. Stay tuned.

Starting today, you can stream the entire new album over here. There’s also some mp3s in the download section of the site, too.

The band is having an album release show Saturday, May 24 @ Cafe Bourbon St with Little Darlings and The Rackets.

I need to add the press kits and Celebrity Pilots back in. Hope you like it.
