Storms debut LP is out!

This day, 12th September 2011, will be remembered as the day the Storms' debut LP, "We Are Storms", finally saw the light of day. Yeah, that means the album's officially out! Hooray! In case you're still clueless, Storms are a band formed by ex-members of Don't Mess With Texas. You know, they play post really awesome and energetic post rock. Like Mogwai or something. They rule. So, the album was released as a vinyl LP, as nobody needs CDs anymore. Besides, you can't misplace an LP that easily. You can acquire your copy through PayPal, and if you're a 21st century boy/girl, you can buy a digital download on Bandcamp. So, check it out and buy buy buy! By the way, the Menza pri Koritu club in Ljubljana will host the Storms' album release promo show on 15th September, so be there! We'll be selling copies of "We Are Storms" for dirt cheap, and it's possible that we'll also be giving away some leftover Don't Mess With Texas CDs, but you'll have to find out for yourself. See ya!

Bernays Propaganda and XAXAXA tourin' Europe

Believe it or not, they're at it again! As Bernays Propaganda and XAXAXA are basically the same people, the only right thing for these two bands to do is tour together, and tour together they will! Unlike last time when they were playing all over Europe, this time they'll concentrate on central European countries such as Germany and... well, some others, but mostly Germany. Anyways, check the dates below and if these post punx come to your town, be sure not to miss them! Oh, and you can hear their music at the Moonlee Bandcamp page. 08.09. @ Bounty, Kraljevo (RS) // Xaxaxa 09.09. @ Fis Bok, Sarajevo (BH) // Xaxaxa 11.09. @ Toni, Sibenik (HR) // Xaxaxa + Bernays Propaganda 13.09. @ Place, Rijeka (HR) // Xaxaxa + Bernays Propaganda 14.09. @ MKC, Krsko (SI) // Xaxaxa+ Bernays Propaganda 15.09. @ Kafe Kult, Munich (DE) // Xaxaxa + Bernays Propaganda 16.09. @ AK 44, Giessen (DE) // Bernays Propaganda 17.09. @ AK 44, Giessen (DE) // Xaxaxa 18.09. @ JUZ, Manheim (DE) // Xaxaxa 20.09. @ AZ, Mulheim (DE) // Xaxaxa + Bernays Propaganda 22.09. @ Bremen (DE) // Xaxaxa + Bernays Propaganda 24.09. @ Kastanienkeller, Berlin (DE) // Bernays Propaganda 25.09. @ AZ Conni, Dresden (DE) // Xaxaxa + Bernays Propaganda 26.09. @ Hafenklang, Hamburg (DE) // Xaxaxa 27.09. @ Bei Roy, Berlin (DE) // Xaxaxa 28.09. @ Kuze, Potsdam (DE) // Xaxaxa + Bernays Propaganda 30.09. @ Haus Mainusch, Mainz (DE) // Xaxaxa + Bernays Propaganda 01.10. @ Railway Wagon, Stuttgart (DE) // Xaxaxa + Bernays Propaganda 02.10. @ Sub, Graz (AT) // Xaxaxa + Bernays Propaganda 04.10. @ Radio Student, Ljubljana (morning show) (SI) // Xaxaxa +@ Gustaf Pekarna, Maribor (SI) // Xaxaxa 05.10. @ MKC, Koper (SI) // Xaxaxa 06.10. @ Demofest klub, Banja Luka (BH) // Xaxaxa + Bernays Propaganda 07.10. @ CK13, Novi Sad (RS) // Xaxaxa 08.10. @ KC Grad/Belgrade/Srb // Xaxaxa

Storms album preorders and MP3 #2

Oh hai! Summer's over, which means that it's time for the Storms' debut LP, "We Are Storms", to finally see the light of day, and that will happen on 12th September! If you're wondering who these Storms are, hey, it's just three guys from the late great Don't Mess With Texas playing some awesome post rock. Anyway, here's another song off the album for you to download, and it's called "The Bitter End". Also, head on over to the Moonlee Bandcamp page, as that's the place where you can listen to the whole album! If you're feeling it, you can actually preorder the album and be the first in da hood to own a copy! Preorder either a vinyl LP through PayPal, or a digital download through Bandcamp. Your choice. And hey, last but not least, there'll be a Storms promo show in Ljubljana, Slovenia on 15th September, but we'll talk about it later!

In-Sane touring the Balkans

As usual, In-Sane are going on tour, and this time, they'll hit the Balkans. The tour will start with a show at Pannonian Challenge in Osijek, Croatia, where they will play alongside A Wilhelm Scream, The Toasters and Debeli Precjednik. Afterwards, they'll be heading to Serbia, Macedonia, Greece, Romania and Hungary and then end it all with a show in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where they'll be supporting No Use For A Name. Pretty cool, eh? Check our events page for dates. Oh, and just so you know, they'll be touring the USA in October and they'll also play The Fest 10. Wish we were there.

Summer Holidays Vs. Punkroutine

Hello! It's Summer, and Summer usually means fests! As you may have guessed, some Moonlee bands will play some Summer fests, so here's how it goes... Nikki Louder, the Slovene noise rock champs, will play the awesome Fluff Fest in Rokycany (CZ) and Trnfest in Ljubljana (SI). Then we've got Repetitor, Moonlee's newest acquisition straight outta Belgrade. These post punx are scheduled to play at the Terraneo festival in Šibenik, Croatia. This is the first and hopefully not the last edition of Terraneo, as it's a great and really promising festival. Bernays Propaganda and XAXAXA will also be playing Terraneo, as well as the Arm Your Desires fest in Greece. Melodic punk rock greats known as In-Sane will play the Monte Paradiso fest in Pula, Croatia and Punk Rock Holiday in Tolmin, Slovenia. Just look at the lineup! Believe it or not, the Moonlee distro crew will be present at most of these festivals, so drop by, buy us beer and buy some distro stuff from us. See you!

XAXAXA Eurotour finale

XAXAXA's huge European tour is finally coming to a close - they've been on the road for almost two months and in a few days they'll play their final shows in Zagreb and Ljubljana. To be more precise, the Zagreb show will take place at AKC Attack on 26th June, and the Ljubljana show will occur on 27th June at Letni Vrt Gala Hale. This tour was set up in support of XAXAXA's debut LP, "Tango Revolucioner", which was recently released by a couple of different labels, Moonlee included. Actually, Bernays Propaganda are also on this tour, but that's natural as the band's made up of 3/4 members of XAXAXA. If you still haven't heard the album, head over to Bandcamp and take a listen! By the way, these two shows will also feature The Estranged, an amazing band from Portland, USA. If you like the Wipers, Joy Division and The Cure, chances are that The Estranged might become your new favorite band. See you there!

Storms debut LP postponed to September

We're sure that many of you are wondering about the whereabouts of the Storms debut LP, 'We Are Storms', the release of which was scheduled for last month. Well, it's been postponed as there was a fuck-up at the pressing plant, but everything's alright now, so you can expect the record to see the light of day in September 2011. If the name Storms doesn't ring a bell, they're a (relatively) new band featuring members of the late great Don't Mess With With Texas. Unsurprisingly, they play post-rock similar to DMWT, but there's no piano and the overall sound is more upbeat and lively. Good stuff. The album will pretty much rule, and to prove it, we're offering a free download of a song off the album, called "Nineteen Eighty Bore". Download it here or head on over to Bandcamp.

New band on Moonlee Records - REPETITOR

Yup, we've got a new member on board - Repetitor. What can be said about these two girls and a guy from Belgrade, Serbia? Well, a lot, as they're one of the most talked about bands in the region... However, we'll keep it short and just say that Repetitor play an insanely awesome blend of post punk and noise and... ahhh, whatever - it's catchy but totally rocks, and that's all you need to know. And hey, they're even better live - their shows are always intense, memorable and keep getting them new fans. Trust us on this one. Anyway, Repetitor are currently working on a new album, and we're flattered that they chose no other than Moonlee Records to be the label to release it. They're in the studio as we speak and the album will most likely be out in Autumn 2011. Brace yourselves! By the way, Repetitor are playing at the K4 club in Ljubljana, Slovenia on 25th May, alongside Nikki Louder, Slovenian noise rock heroes and one of Moonlee Records' latest acquisitions. If you happen to be in near, come to the show. It'll be the best!

Nikki Louder's "Our World Died Yesterday" CD+LP is out!

Yeah, you've guessed it - the album is out! What can one say about this Slovene noise rock combo and their second album, "Our World Died Yesterday"? Well, they both rule. If you need hard evidence for that claim, head on over to Bandcamp and take a listen to the album. Yeah, you can "stream it" there, and even buy a digital download if you feel like it, but you surely already knew that.

If you're from the Balkans and would like to order, drop a line to mirkich@moonleerecords.com. The postage is cheaper here. Also, the album was a joint effort of Moonlee Records, Cheap Tunes Records and Založba Radio Študent. Just so you know. Peace. Nikki Louder @ Tumblr | Nikki Louder @ Facebook 15 EUR postpaid
