I am pleased to announce that Hardisty-Disk whilst being in some sort of on-going dormancy is in the process of re-launching. Beginning in 2008, Hardisty-Disk will release new music, art and apparel four times a year. Each date will coincide with a Minneapolis release party featuring label artists and special guests.
The first batch of new releases (HD 007–15) is scheduled for 3/17/08 and includes:
HD 007 John Wiese “Ghost Call” re-package 12"
When we originally released “Ghost Call”, we had only planned for 300 covers and ended up with an overpress of about 80. We will be re-packaging the remaining copies with new screen-printed artwork (though it should be noted, we're not doing the five-color thing again).
HD 009 I Am Heaven deluxe 12"
Kim and I released the I Am Heaven 12" on July95 in an edition of 480 copies in 1997 and it was a disaster in every possible way. The original ended up shipping with only a black 12" single sleeve and a laser-printed insert. I’ve been hanging to most of the original pressing in order to do them justice. We will be re-packaging them with all new screen-printed artwork by midwest visual agency (myself and Kimberlee Whaley) and Landland using elements from the original packaging scheme. Essentially a homage to a band that I truly loved. There will be no more than 200 of these.
HD 011 Terrorclops 7"
The catalog number is being reserved for a Terrorclops 7", though if a master isn't done in time, we will push it to a June 08 release.
HD 013 Cages 1 cdr
HD 014 Cages 2/3 2xbcard
Minneapolis laptop noise at its worst—no microphones, recording devices or audio signals of any kind were used in the creation of these disks. Both will be available in screen-printed sleeves and editions of 25–50.
HD 019 March 08 winter release party
A collaboration with Terrorclops/Dan Black’s Say-And-Stay-Said label the line-up tentatively includes Terrorclops, Cages and Thank You plus special guests. This will be updated when we have firm information.
The remaining catalog numbers are reserved for posters and t-shirts which we will post as they are finished.
