Year-end Kudos for Totally Fatalist

on Thu, 2011-12-22 05:17

In Pittsburgh, Desolation Row is one of a few great record stores that carries a nice selection of indie, jazz, avant vinyl and CDs. Host Skull was fortunate enough to be listed as #13 in their top 25 records of 2012. Check out the full list here: http://desolationrowrecords.blogspot.com/2011/12/best-of-2011.html

Then, you may as well pick up the new edition of Pittsburgh City Paper. WYEP's Cindy Howes gave a shout out to Totally Fatalist as one of the best local releases. 

And if you haven't picked up the release yet, best get over to www.antephonic.com to snag the LP. If you are in Pittsburgh, check for LP and CD versions at Paul's CDs, Mind Cure, and the above-mentioned Desolation Row. If you think you have some opinions on the year's best music, send those thoughts over to Draw Us Lines (http://www.drawuslines.com/homegrown-goodness/dul-super-duper-holiday-giveaway/), and you may win a prize basket full of local music, including a Totally Fatalist LP with a handwritten lyric sheet and drawing. 

Host Skull wants to thank you for your support in 2011!! We have some big, fun plans for 2012. So, we'd also like to pre-thank you for your support in 2012!!

 

Host Skull Remixes Host Skull with Bre Short

Recently (last Tuesday), Antephonic released the debut Host Skull LP (pick it up over at Antephonic). More recently (last night), the above Host Skull "Host Skull" remix video was premiered in Chicago at Roxaboxen. For the remix, all sounds were taken from the third track on the Totally Fatalist LP. The video was created from 5,000 photographs. Bre Short handled all the movement. Bre's credits include dancing for Pillow Project and very recently in Gia T. Presents' Collectables, which has its last performance tonight at Space Gallery. See below for a preview video featuring a short solo by Gia T. Cacalano.
