The Caps are having a EP/CD Release show at the towne lounge in portland oregon. Days and Soft Tags will both be playing as well, so this promises to be a good show. The band also has some fun new pictures that should be available to look at very soon.
The Plastic Rings EP by “The Caps” is now available at some local record stores in Portland Oregon. Soon it will be available for purchase here on giftshoprecords.com. As the site is being developed there will be more and more things available here. Also, we now have an account on youtube.com where we will be hosting videos for our bands. Our first video was filmed during the break at a band practice of The Caps and edited in 2 hours. More will be on the way, but for now, here is “Make A Wish” by The Caps.
Gift Shop Records is happening more and more each day. We have received the first pressing of “Plastic Rings” by The Caps. It’s looking good and should soon be available for sale here at giftshoprecords.com. In other news, the Portland, OR based band Night Mechanic will soon be recording a full length record for Gift Shop Records. This one promises to be a good one with jumpy beats and catchy staccato rhythms. Check out their myspace page (www.myspace.com/nightmechanic) for some mighty fine ear candy. Even more to come.
The Caps first E.P. (and also the first release from Gift Shop) is off to the presses and should be back in a week. This 4 song romp around pop extravaganza will soon be available through several avenues including Local record shops (Here in Portland, OR) and for sale over the interwebs (for non-Portlanders). It’s pretty Exciting. I’m Excited. And it sounds good too.
Here it goes, getting this thing started. About 2 months ago I had this crazy idea to start a small record label. I found a name (Gift Shop) and started making a logo (not quite finished). But I do have some good bands coming this way. The first “Gift Shop” release will be “Plastic Rings EP” by The Caps. It’s a 4 song blast of indie pop that is pretty good I think (But I am bias of course). Preparations for this release are moving along, just need to get some artwork together and then… Bam! And I still need to design this site, but that will come soon enough. More to come shortly.
