Destroy The Plastique Man


While you're over at the Bull Moose page, reserving your new Rustic CD, you may want to double up and get the new As Fast As album, Destroy The Plastique Man. Their latest creation became available just last week, following an in-store performance of their own.

You can download a recording of the Bull Moose performance here. Thanks to forum member Onlycrayons for that. As Fast As held a CD release party on the 14th at the Asylum, which he also taped, and should be available soon.

A few more quick points on Destroy the Plastique Man:
- As Fast As on WCYY's Spinout - Thurs. 3/20 7pm-10pm
- Story/interview and acoustic performance on WCSH's "207"
- As Fast As Myspace - listen to a few of the new tracks
- Destroy The Plastique Man - Discussion thread

Record Release News

It's official. Light At The End is set to debut nationwide this Tuesday. If you haven't already, I'd suggest placing your order at Bull Moose. They are offering an exclusive 7" vinyl, free with pre-orders, featuring the title track Light At The End and Sector Z, featuring David Bowie. Supply is limited, but still available for the time being..

March 18th also begins the reissuing of their "back catalog" with a "deluxe" edition of Long Division. Dem, a web manager for Bull Moose, was asked exactly what makes it "deluxe," to which he replied:

It's repackaged with new artwork in a cardboard case and includes three bonus tracks (14-16): "Red Afternoon", "Redemption Pays", and "Let Me Grabbitz". Haven't heard them and can't say whether they're live tracks, demos, stuff they played live but didn't include on studio records, session recordings, or brand new tracks.

The Rustic Overtones will be performing at the North Windham Bull Moose on Saturday, March 22nd to promote the release, before shipping out down the East coast on an extended tour.

Re-release of Light At The End



March 18th is slated as the release date for edition #2 of Light At The End, their first release on the Velour Music label. The band has kicked off some tour dates in New York City to promote it, and has many more lined up.

If you've been to a recent show, or will attend an upcoming date, snap some photos, jot down or snag a copy of the setlist - anything you can contribute we're happy to post and credit you!

There's some uncertainty to the contents of the re-release, however. Aside from new album art, Valentine's Day Massacre has been added, although it remains to be seen (rather, heard) if it's a new recording, or the same as on Viva Nueva.

It seems, according to the Amazon.com track listing, that Black Leather Bag was taken off to make room for it. Regardless, it's worth picking up, either as a collectible or a new addition to your library!
