Our friends and favorite international import, Bogart ATA, release their new self-entitled album LIVE in Paris, France on September 17th, 2008!! For all the US fans across the Atlantic their will be video interviews and your first opportunity to purchase the new project. After already selling 1000’s unmastered bootlegs in underground Europe, we can’t wait to see what happens when the word gets out about Bogart and the Addictives!!

Branch Records just planted another round of trees through our “Plant-a-Tree per CD” initiative. Various partnerships including the Arbor Day Foundation, Sustainable Harvest International, and the dedicated fans of our Artist, made our world a little greener today. Thanks guys and gals for the support!

Attention EVH fans and supporters, Erich has launch a weekly video blogcast. Every Friday Erich is going to be playing songs, taking requests, and give you an opportunity to experience a little bit behind the scenes. Check it out:

Now that we have wrapped up this release, we are going to be able to concentrate on getting some things up and running. Can you say online store? Also be sure you run over to our artists pages and leave them some love.

Everyone be ready to come out to LilyWhite’s CD Release. It will be at The Axis Venue starting at 6 p.m. on July 11, 2008. Special guests The Gills and Don’t Die Cindy also on the card for the night.

Our growth is becoming exponential, which we had always hoped it would. We are working on partnerships for the launch of an Independent Music Video Show, the new Branch Community, Tim and I are planning our own Vcast about random things, and our new Music Store (DRM-Free) will be worth the wait. Of course, the only thing we work on with a release date is albums. The rest is just when we feel like we got it right. Thank you so much for the flood of encouragement we have been feeling in the last few weeks. The constant stops at movies, shows, and random places have meant a lot to us. For the emails and inquiries, you have been a real validation of the hard work we and so many others have done.

Pat’s release “The Sparrow” was an awesome show and amazing night. Special thanks to Northstar for allowing us the use of the venue, everything was top notch!! It’s been a great weekend, but officially it is Monday according to my clock. A week sure to bring new ideas and improvements. Check back towards the end of the week for super important dates on a round of brand new music about to hit the music stores!!!

June 13th is The Cries Of… CD release show!! Not only that, but this will be the kick off for a brand new venue called Axis. Located on the corner of Hwy 390 and 23rd. This place brings great sound and atmosphere to the indie scene. Come out and party with the Branch Records family Friday night.

Time for another update!

Exciting things are in the air! The Cries Of’s cd release show is set to happen in just a couple of weeks on June 13th. So everyone make sure and add it to your calenders, alarms, and all your other assorted gadgets and gizmo’s.

Wow, we here at Branch have been incredibly busy. We have been working on office renovation for months and things are starting to settle in a bit. We have some updates on the status of everyone so stay tuned and keep reading.

First the big news. Branch Records has signed France sensation Bogart & the Addictives. We are simply amazed at the talent these guys posses, and we are proud to have grown to an international level. So everyone go add them and listen to their jams. They have a finished CD and it is in the production stage now so stay tuned and get your hands on it soon. We are working on details to bring them to the States for a tour as soon as possible.

Second order of business is Lily White! We have been getting tons of emails asking us about their CD. They are going back into the studio to finish up this month and after that we will set up a release date as soon as we can.

Electronic Sulking Machine is also in the studio now recording stuff for their debut project. So far we have been getting scratch tracks and we are completely impressed. We can’t wait to get this project to you as soon as its finished.

The Cries Of finally has a CD release show setup for the debut of “The Sparrow” June 13th here in Panama City we are going to have a grand ole time, so come out and show your Branch support.

Erich Von Hinken has been writing his life away and we just got word he composed a string quartet that is out of this world. Hopefully there will be some video of this somewhere that turns up so we can all bask in amazement.
