Overdue Update

Yo,
how is everybody? It's been way too long again since the last update.
Right now I'm in the car on our last kilometers to Dresden. Work. Tomorrow we'll continue our trip to Trieste and on Thursday evening I'll be back home. Unfortunately to late to make it to the Hazen Street Show in Düsseldorf that day. If you didn't know about that Show now you do. Go there! I know I would.
Also this trip makes me miss the Unbroken Show in... I think Hasselt. Which would be closer to where I live than the Show I can go to in Karlsruhe the day after I travelled for at least 10h to get back home from Trieste. Only to go on another 3h ride to Karlsruhe which by then I will already have passed the day before. Yes I'm a sucker for that Band which brings me to the first update that might be interesting for you. Lately I have been thinking about doing a detailed Discography of every piece of Unbroken vinyl that I own. At the moment there are 2 more 7" variants on their way to me. Leaving me with about 8 mostly more than less rare variants of records I already have one or more copies of still on my wantlist. While there are 25 diff. records in my collection already that I can think of right now. Not counting the 2 in transit and the green vinyl repress of the Discography I'll hopefully be able to buy next friday. I'd like to make this as detailed as possible so all you fellow collector nerds can check what exactly it is you have to look for. For the versions I don't own yet I'll try to get pictures from the web and for most of them I do already have one.
Since the last update I have been very busy again. Unfortunately mostly with work but also some great hangouts with friends and family including going on my more or less weekly walk with my wife who takes dogs from the animal shelter out for a walk whenever she can. This month was and still is crazy with quite a lot really good live sets by Cold World, Wolf Down, AYS, Blindside, Empowerment, Static Void, Sniffing Glue, the almighty fuckin' Flipper and our own Show with Abfukk, Idiot Talk & Short Days.
Next to all of this my head was with this Blog, the Distro and Label quite a bit. Resulting in the decision to not do anymore releases with our Label Sandblaster. We split the little bit of money we were able to salvage from the money pit a small diy hc record label usually and especially in our case is. And that's that.
But I'm still not slowing down. There's something new and probably big in the pipeline. Right now though I can't tell no one ;)
Also we have two more Shows coming up this year:
July 28th Cobretti + On The Run + 1
October 13th AYS + 2
Plus we're in touch with Filler and Richie Dagger for a possible date in January and have more Bands in mind that we want to work with. If we'd have more time we'd probably do another Show this year but the both of us are way to busy so you'll have to be patient ;)
The way things look right now May will be having more time in stall for me to put into all this so stay tuned for the beginning of a DETAILED UNBROKEN DISCOGRAPHY, show updates and that big thing we're working on.
Peace out
We arrived in Dresden
Gotta get ready to work
Oh one more thing. The Distro is still up and running. A few things are sold out and a few new ones are waiting to go online. Keep your eyes peeled
