Record-release roundup

Here's several more that got cut for space (lots of new releases this summer!) - **Playground Slap's** new odds-and-ends album *Disco Nausea* drops this week, featuring material from their 1982 to 1988 heyday, as well as their 2006-2007 reunions. Marcelo Radulovich says “I reworked and remixed the material and this is the result, a great album, if I may say so myself. Features lots of great players like Mike Keneally and Bill Ray." Shambles/Manual Scan frontman **Bart Mendoza** has a new EP with his band True Stories, *Comet's Tomorrow*, recorded by Alan Sanderson (Rolling Stones, etc.) at Analog Chew. The June 20 release party at Soda Bar will include a one-off reunion set from Static Halo, their first show since 2008, plus Los Angeles resident Adam Marsland, who amongst other things was in the reformed Standells. **Safety Orange’s** CD release party at the El Cajon Grand happens Saturday, June 22. **Tony Taravella's** June 22 CD release show for *In a Sentimental Mood* at Pathways Community Church in Santee is also a going away party, as he and his family are moving to Las Vegas. The jazz album was produced and engineered by Peter Sprague at his studio in Encinitas, and it features Mike Wofford, Bob Magnusson, Duncan Moore, and Tripp Sprague. **The Electric Healing Sound** have a new 7-inch (on the local Cholo Punks label run by Aldo Bustos of Beaters and Northern Tigers) dropping at the Tower Bar on June 28. British transplant **Dave Humphries** will release his *Across the Pond* 7-inch on July 6 at Rebecca’s Coffehouse. Reggae rocker **Pepper** have a new self-titled effort hitting the streets on July 16. Out on bail after being charged with hiring someone to kill his wife, As I Lay Dying singer **Tim Lambesis** announced that his comedic metal band **Austrian Death Machine** will soon release its third album *Triple Brutal,* thanks to raising $80,000 via online crowd-funding. **High Mountain Tempel's** upcoming fifth studio full-length *Gnosis* includes a song called “Once On a Golden Mountain” recorded with Isis Aquarian, whose life with the late Father Yod's sex-and-veggie cult the Source Family was recently chronicled in a documentary film and a comic book one-shot.

Ha, I've always wondered about that show at the Deaf Club, ever since I first heard it was a punk club for deaf people!
