MP3: Division of Laura Lee - Violence is timeless

This your final notice! Tomorrow at Debaser Malmö: Division of Laura Lee + Cut City. Not only is that a great lineup for our monthly It's a Trap! Clubnight, it's also the 10th anniversary party for Swedish music site Dagensskiva. As I've bemoaned before, I don't get to be there myself, but you can just pretend that I'm DSC editor Kal Ström -- he's a tad taller than me if I remember right and I might have more facial hair, but we both share the same kickass (lack of) haircut. Further enticement: the new Division of Laura Lee single which just happens to be the title cut off their most recent album "Violence is timeless". This is modern Gbg indie meets DC post-hardcore, live on stage in Malmö. A good time is guaranteed!

It's a Trap! Clubnight/Dagensskiva 10-year anniversary party details

If you were thinking of heading out to the It's a Trap! Clubnight/Dagensskiva 10-year anniversary party at Debaser Malmö on May 16 with Division of Laura Lee and Cut City, some additional details are posted here: http://dagensskiva.com/2009/05/05/10-arsfest-division-of-laura-lee-och-cut-city-pa-debaser-malmo-%E2%80%94-fira-med-oss/
It's a shame I can't be there myself, but y'know- thousands of miles between us and all that. But how about the coincidence of stellar local-to-me band Wolves in the Throne Room being reviewed today? The world is a smaller place than you might think!

New label: Swedish Columbia

Swedish Columbia is the name of a international new record label/art collective founded by Carcrash Records partners Håkan Johansson (Division of Laura Lee, Gbg) and Shelby Cinca (Frodus, DC). Besides collaborating on various bands (Frantic Mantis, etc.) and design projects, they've also found time to put out music from other people. The first batch of releases is heavy on Americans, so I won't tell you about most of 'em, but they are releasing a new single from the Swedish techno duo BMK aka Blandmissbruk which is supposedly yet another DoLL sideproject.
