Do you remember the Wilmington band Pandora's Lunchbox, who had a record out on the Shimmy Disc label, founded by Kramer [Butthole Surfers, Ween]? • Do you miss the annual 'WE Festival' [Wilmington Exchange Festival; 1996-2009 (2010)] -- a music conference once held in our Port City, which hosted bands like Mooney Suzuki, The Dismemberment Plan, Mae, Val Emmich, Mountain Brothers, Lamb Of God, and Tracy Shedd -- and which was also featured on MTV News? • Are you a frequent patron of Whatever Wilmington, once located on Castle Street now on Grace Street in downtown? • Do you frequent Anne McCrary (Sullivan) Park over on Randall Parkway enough that you've researched her life and family history?
If so, then you are likely aware of our dear friend Mr. Kenyata Sullivan; a person who we personally are very thankful to have in our lives; for Wilmington NC would simply not be our home if it weren't for Kenyata. We first met Kenyata at The Exchange -- an old vintage clothing store once located at the corner of Grace & 2nd that used to host concerts in their back room -- while our previous band Audio Explorations was on tour in 1996. We've been close friend ever since, and couldn't be more excited to share this...Fort Lowell Records is very proud to announce the first single from GROW: A Compilation in Solidarity with Black Lives Matter is for Kenyata Sullivan's second musical project -- The Majestic Twelve -- and their song "Amphibious Vehicular Love". The track, written ((coincidentally)) twelve years ago, is available now on all digital music download and streaming platforms. In addition, our friends at Here Comes the Flood are premiering the music video for "Amphibious Vehicular Love" today.
So pull up your favorite digital platform and search for "Amphibious Vehicular Love" to play the song now. Then head over to Here Comes the Flood to watch the music video. Remember, every time you play "Amphibious Vehicular Love" you are actually helping ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination... so keep the music playing all day long!
