MOYAMOYA TOURS SOUTHEAST USA IN WINTER 2016

STAY TUNED!!!

THANK YOU JACKSONVILLE FL (GO JAGUARS)

Thanks to Christina Wagner, Rain Rogs, C.A.S.K., and everyone in 5 Points / Riverside Jacksonville, FL for having us out at Spring Fest this past Easter Weekend.  It was great catching up with everyone, and meeting all the new fans of Fort Lowell Records.  Thank you all for the support with buying vinyl records for your collection and supporting independent music.

Special shout out to Rich Rapp of Deep Search Records, who now has the entire Fort Lowell Records catalog in his store, including a few FREE copies of Luz de Vida!  Be sure to stop by his store to do some shopping!

Finally, what a treat it was to see moyamoya live on the big stage as headliners for Spring Fest!  Wish you were there!  Here are some pics of the boys, doing what they do best (posing for the glam-cam, and rockin' out).

FORT LOWELL RECORDS SPRINGS TO JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA

Hey, hey, hey everyone, this just in: Fort Lowell Records + Petite Bonfire (handmade designs by our very own Tracy Shedd) are heading down to Jacksonville FL this weekend and will have a booth set up at the 5 Points Spring Fest in Riverside on Saturday, April 5th from 2:30-10:00pm.  We will have the entire catalog of Fort Lowell Records' vinyl for sale, including Jacksonville's own moyamoya and Hey Mandible.  Petite Bonfire will have leather wallets, clutches, and iPad cases, market totes, aprons, hair accessories, and guitar picks (yes, guitar picks) for sale; all made by musicians!  Look for the brown tent, with the Jaguar teal colored table.

Then, at 7:45pm... be sure to catch moyamoya with a spectacular live performance!  You won't want to miss it!

HEY MANDIBLE CHART AT #27 ON 3WK.COM IN FIRST WEEK!

We here at Fort Lowell Records have always been big, big, big fans of Wanda & Jim Atkinson over at 3WK Radio.  So it is especially exciting to see that our very own Hey Mandible's album The Arse has debuted at #27 on their charts!  In addition, moyamoya's self-titled album has also been added this week for airplay!  Not a bad day for our friends down in Jacksonville FL.  Head over to 3WK to listen now!

ARTICLES ABOUT FORT LOWELL RECORDS' 2014 RELEASES

2014 was a very busy year for our lil' ol' label.  Not only did we undergo transitioning from Tucson AZ to Raleigh NC, but we also managed releasing four full length albums: La Cerca Sunrise for Everyone, the Good Graces Close to the Sun (a split release with our friends at Potluck Foundation), moyamoya moyamoya, and Naïm Amor Hear the Walls.  We are very thankful for all of the hard work each artist put into making these fantastic albums.  But we are also thankful for all of the media attention these records received collectively; it truly does help inform people about these great musicians - which is one of our main responsibilities and reasons for doing what we do. 

Below are links to all of the articles / posts written about these four artists / releases from 2014.  We hope you enjoy catching up on some reading!
