Moonlee contest #3

Uh, it's June already. Time for a new Moonlee contest. This month's question is as follows: Which Moonlee release is completely sold out? It should be easy, but if you're not too sure about it, browse our webpage and figure it out. And yes, this is our way of reminding you of some of the gems that Moonlee released in the past. Send your answers (and your name) to: contest@moonleerecords.com by noon, 16th June. The lucky winner gets Lunar's last album, "Turbo", on CD. We'll send it by mail, don't worry. There, start shooting... those answers at us. By the way, participating in the contest will get you added to the Moonlee Records mailing list, but you can unsubscribe at any time. Hope you don't mind.

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!

Moonlee contest #2 winner is…

The second Moonlee contest is over and the lucky winner is Filip Tenšek. Thank you all for participating and see you next month.

Moonlee contest #2

Ah, new month - new Moonlee contest.

This month's question is as follows:  Which Moonlee band has the most fans on Facebook? It's easy, you'll just have to make a bit of research. Start here, and while you're at it, don't forget to 'like' a few Facebook pages, if you catch my drift. Send your answers (and your name) to: contest@moonleerecords.com by noon, 17th May. The lucky winner gets Analena's latest album, "Inconstantinopolis", on CD. We'll send it by mail, cool? There, start shooting... those answers at us. By the way, participation in the contest will get you added to the Moonlee Records mailing list, but you can unsubscribe at any time. Hope you don't mind.

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 prefer your evidence even harder, buy a physical copy via PayPal (15 EUR postpaid). The vinyl and CD are packed together, which means you get both for the price of one, like on TV. 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

Nikki Louder tourin' the UK

Looks like Nikki Louder are gonna hit the road in April. Here's what they had to say: "We are going to play some shows through the UK with the amazing blues-punk progs Shield Your Eyes, who made everything possible. 5 days in a right steering van, ale/lager nights and some rock'n'roll! Continental Europe dates were planned as well, but it seems Western Europe is a hefty mess to book." If everything works out, they'll also have their new album and Moonlee Record debut for sale, so you know what to do. *wink* Anyways, the dates are below and check Nikki Louder out if you get the chance, will you? 06.04.2011 @ THE UNICORN, LONDON (UK) 07.04.2011 @ MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY, MANCHESTER (UK) 08.04.2011 @ BAR UP, HALIFAX (UK) 09.04.2011 @ SANTIAGOS, LEEDS (UK) 10.04.2011 @ DON'T DROP THE DUMBELLS, LIVERPOOL (UK) nikkilouder.tumblr.com

This should come as no surprise, but In-Sane are touring Europe again.

New Moonlee band - XAXAXA

That's right, XAXAXA are yet another new band on the Moonlee roster. XAXAXA hail from Skopje, Macedonia, and you've probably seen these guys before as they play in the almighty Bernays Propaganda. Oh, they also played in xFxPxOx! Unlike Bernays Propaganda, they play faster and in a more melodic manner, so comparisons to Hüsker Dü, Rites of Spring and even Dag Nasty wouldn't be too far off. Here's a live video on YouTube - see/hear for yourself. As you may have guessed, an album is in the works and will be released in April 2011 by a couple of different record labels, Moonlee included. XAXAXA will also be going on a European tour in May/June, so watch this space for more info. That's it for now.

New Moonlee band - Nikki Louder

Everyone, say hi to the new member of the Moonlee Records family - Nikki Louder! This Slovenian trio has been rockin' around for some time now, and their second LP, "Our World Died Yesterday", will be out on Moonlee Records in April 2011! In case you were wondering what they sound like, let's just say that they remind of certain Ebullition bands that were big in the 90s. Ahh, the good old days. Anyway, no pop tunes here, just punk rock! Oh, and a European tour will follow the album release, so stay tuned for more info. www.myspace.com/nikkilouder
