doubleplusgood seeking intern
Looking for someone in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area to help out in serveral areas within the label. Ideally about 10 hours/week. It is unfortunately unpaid, but you will receive a ton of training and experience in the music industry. This is how I got my start and there's really no other way to learn any of this without biting the bullet and doing the intern thing. Interested peoples can email me at info@doubleplusgoodrecords.com

lineup changes
Brian Heitzman, self-evident's drummer for the last nine years parted ways with the band this past July. Ben Johnston has since taken over and put his mark on the band.

 

New Distribution
Southern now distributes all new dpg releases. In addition to Southern, record stores looking to carry dpg titles can contact Carrot Top and Stickfigure

I am no longer working with Choke as I have been fighting to get paid by them for over a year now. Having lost a box of my inventory and refusing to pay me for discs sold in the last 6 years, I would strongly discourage anyone thinking about working with them.

Those wishing to purchase dpg releases on the web and would prefer not to use PayPal, you can now order most titles from No Karma and Amazon.

PayPal orders can be made right here by clicking on the Catalog page

 

Upcoming Releases


self-evident-s/t

May 2007
With new drummer, Ben Johnston (Claire de Lune) in tow, the band has been completely transformed. Recording again with Carl Amburn (Traindodge, Riddle of Steel, Roma 79) these 12 songs clock in just under 35 minutes, but that's not a bad thing. This new album is precise and complex, yet adheres to a more standard song structure. You just wait.

 

Happy - tba

fall 2007
Yes, finally a new drummer. So much time has passed since the intial recording of Happy's follow-up to Sincerely, Without Wax (it was recorded with Tim Snow on drums) that the band has decided to write and record some more before releasing a new record.
