• MIKE CLOUDS is back with another full-length production, First to See the Sun. The 10-track hip-hop release can be found now on MILLED PAVEMENT's EmBen Digital imprint.
• Also in the hip-hop arena, MONSOON will be releasing his first full-length effort, The Bridge Mix Tape, with a June 3show at the Big Easy, with support from BRZOWSKI and LABSEVEN. The disc is a compilation of tracks recorded over the last five years and features all manner of cuts and jabs from DJ SHADE (or shadezilla, as the case may be).
• We're hearing reports that the ANNA'S GHOST album is ready to rock and will be released in late June/early July. It's been picked up by ETERNAL OTTER RECORDS, who also host LADY LAMB THE BEEKEEPER and the MANES.
• In what's shaping up to be a packed June, the PROJECT SEVEN will release their sophomore disc, TP VII, at Champions, in Biddeford, June 13. They'll be joined by BLISTERS GROW and ATHEME.
• Also June 13, the bluegrass band HAMILTON COUNTY will release their debut disc with a gig at the Empire. Which is, you know, the day after the June 12 release of a split 12" from CURSILLISTAS and WHITE LIGHT that's being called "an extremely limited-edition tour-only 12" vinyl LP." We told you June was going to be busy.
