06/17/07 "S James" - Ll
We've been putting Scott Emmerich through the paces,
and thus: drums.
01/23/07 "Long Way Back Home" - Ll
Tardiness excused for reasons of deathmas, touring, and general malaise.
Partisan will start recording their EP follow up to
"Sack of Fear" in the
very near future.
10/24/06 "A Little Tenderness In Your Correspondence" - Ll
Well, lot's of webpages are now available to you. News From Home is
now alive with video and linkage and show dates, etc. Also
the label
has a Myspace page.

"A little update before the big wave" - Ll
The
month of shows comes to an end today. We have neared
completion
of our set of songs for the Sanitary
Records
Cassingle, and we are
very pleased.
We used the 4 track again, and despite some inevitable
muddying on the stomping song
"Line Of Flight",
we are pleased what the
trusty ol bastard could do.
We're getting a
new machine for the next
recording. Frank is making the
packaging for
the tapes, and its going to
look as solid and stylish as our regular
aesthetic. Check out that new song
on our Myspace page.
We'd also like to announce a compilation
in the
works on News From Home,
it will be curated by Partisan and Real
Live Tigers.
You can expect a
new song from us there as well.
10/01/06 "October and Its Heirs"
- Ll
This
month will be jam packed with shows as we pefect some new songs,
play music with some of our favorite people/musicians.
We will be releasing a Cassingle on the Sanitary Records
Cassingle
Series. We are going to try and fit three songs on
it, a
couple in
preview for our second record, which will follow the EP
length
piece
we are working on. We don't know the exact release
for
either of those
, however the Cassingle will be first, the EP will be second and our
next record will be third, sometime later next year.
So to review: Cassingle, EP,
New Year New
Record. Be around.
Frank is in Sonic Typewriter. Katie is in
Clinicals.
9/14/06 "We Don't Know Ourselves"
- Ll
So
there is already a record label called dovecote (without the accent
circumflex), so instead of wiggling out
with the
accent, we decided to
rename the label "News From Home", at
least until
further notice.
Frank and Charlie played a few shows
without Katie,
and it was unanim-
ously decided that we are better with
her than
without her, but apart
from that deficeincy - we roundly
brought the noise.
You can buy the "Sack of Fear" cd by

"Hard Living in a Hard Land" - Ll
We had one excellent show this month at
Midwest Nest
Fest, which we
hope becomes the tradition it deserves to be.
Made
some new friends,
sold some copies of the official "Sack
of Fear" cd.
Erin sewed the
sides shut, we all cut and pasted the pictures, there's a
lyric
booklet.
I plan on scanning that record and putting the art up, but
currently I
don't own a copy, and Frank and Katie
have ventured
forth into the
riverbeds of the great green
north with canoe
paddles in hand, with
Jake,
guru and stoic.
Some upcoming shows will feaeture
various
memberships of Partisan.
Each of these performances and
recordings will be
under the official
auspices of Partisan Family Players, but
might operate under aliases.
Charlie will be touring as Buster in the midwest and south
from
January
5th through the 20th. This tour is with
dovecôte
label mate and best
music friend Real Live Tigers, with
possible special
guests. He will
be supporting "Sack of Fear" and a tour
only ep
"Invaded" featuring
upcoming
Partisan songs.
