Who shot ya?
16 June 2008
We photographed some projects today. HD 019 is now shown in all its off-set printed glory and the Cages "2/3" cd set is live. "2/3" is now available from our online store. Orders will ship with an HD 019 poster and hand-screened wrapping paper while supplies last.
Not sleeping
07 June 2008
We’re not dead yet, just busy. Designing, writing and editing a book in 3 months (while maintaining appearances at my job); peep it. HD 019, the release poster, just came back from the printer and we're screening Cages CD's tomorrow.
If you were actually checking for our shit, we apologize.
New store now open
21 January 2008
The new improved Hardisty-Disk shop (HD 017) is now open via Big Cartel. I'm pretty psyched on this. Easy to navigate with simple shipping options. Go here to freak out.
Also, have you checked out the blog? More excitement soon.
Hardisty-Disk relaunch
29 November 2007
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.
