The Tiiiiimes, They Are A’ Asian!

Village’s upcoming single on Kingfisher Bluez has been featured on Canadian music journal, Exclaim!

“…chiming guitars and velvety vocals that are blanketed in a thick swath of narcotic reverb. The tempos are slow and the arrangements relatively sparse, giving the songs a woozy, morning-after feel.” – Alex Hudson, Exclaim.ca

Village’s EP will be available from our webstore late summer/early fall. Very exciting!

Announcing KFB004: Eeek!

Alrigh’ luvs,

I couldn’t be prouder to introduce to you, the newest KFB 7″ getting excited to sit on your shelf. It’s Eeek!’s debut 7″ for the fantastic song “Potential”. If you don’t know Eeek! they are long-time bros of the whole KFB family- Colin has played in The Shiny Diamonds and has been featured on our early digital compilations too. These guys live and breathe indie-rock and if you are into scrappy post-Cap’n Jazz emo I think you are gonna love it. The record is available to buy on our online store now, but it won’t ship for about 3 weeks.

Only 250 copies made! Hand numbered on forest green vinyl!

CHECK IT OUT

KFB001 & KFB002: supporting cast in Moka Only’s “I’m Swanky” video

Wow! Look at that! If you were paying close attention to our homie Moka Only’s new video “I’m Swanky” then you would have caught KFB001 (Sebastian Fleet + Count Oak) and KFB002 (Teen Plaque) hanging out in the background. Check it out at the 2:14 mark OK?

There was additional footage shot of myself doing the cooking dance but it was unfortunately cut for reasons unbeknownst to I.

Upcoming records, re-ups

You may have noticed our new look! I have been working on a different website for KFB for a while, but I decided why not just scale back the main site a bit? So you are looking at the new, tidier KFB site, better than ever! You also may have noticed that I have been posting only stuff related to KFB artists/releases. That’s because when we started 4 YEARS AGO there was literally nothing to post about the lazy teenagers that were making music here. Now everyone grew up a bit and I couldn’t be more proud of all the exciting stuff that is going on.

Sebastian Fleet + Count Oak- Sun 7″ is back in stock! The glow-in-the-dark vinyl sold out ridiculously fast but now we have a second pressing of black vinyl limited to only 200 copies and available in our store at a more reasonable price!

Teen Plaque- TPTM/FTR!!! 7″ has new full-wrap sleeves. If you have one of the old ones you are missing out on a bigger photo of the band, maybe for your locker. How are these not sold out already?

Tim The Mute- Anything You Want 7″ That’s right, I have a new record coming out and I couldn’t be more excited about it. It’s not quite a solo single, featuring my collabs with Devon Parkin and Village, as well as a little vinyl-only bonus.

By the way, I have been begging the newer, many-limbed Village to do a single but no luck yet. And hey Devon where’s your masters at???

We recorded a banging song for Spencer‘s debut single last week, hoping to get back in the studio soon to make the b-side!

There are two new KFB singles in the works as well (KFB004 and KFB005 I hope!) but I don’t want to announce them yet because they are too far away but I am hoping for a May release on one, and June for the other.

Wow that was actually a lot of news. Maybe I should make a mailing list… Oh no time to renew the domain again!

OH YEAH thanks for buying our records!!!!

-Tim

Merry Boxing Week!

Merry Boxing Week!

I know it’s a bit late but happy holidays to all of you! Despite being a thing since 2008, this is the first year KFB has released physical records. And we released 2! and there’s more coming! Our 4th Christmas party was our biggest yet and it was a resounding success as well, with me actually breaking even. Thank you so so so much for being there with us through all of this excitement! and thanks for buying our records! Seb Fleet and Count Oak’s Sun 7″ is now sold out in it’s limited glow-in-the-dark format and a less-limited black vinyl release will be out in january. Happy winter holidays!

New Poster for the Christmas Show!

After a hate-fueled email from Village, who despised my amateur attempt at a poster for our christmas show, I have commissioned this very lovely piece of work from Ryan Dyck at http://discounttypography.tumblr.com/
