Kathleen Hanna likes Tacocat...
July 12, 2011, 6:16 pm by M.L. Birdsall

And wrote a blog post about that and Bree's article in the Stranger.  So you know, pretty cool... Not like Bree forgot about the time difference between New Brunswick where she is on tour and where I was asleep in Seattle and called me 2 times in a row before it woke me up and then we freaked out together or anything. So, Tacocat play in Brooklyn at Death By Audio tonight!

Some of Us Are in This Together hits stores on January 18th and we are getting super psyched! It seems that we aren't the only ones who are anticipating this record. For us, it's like "YESSS!!! No more shrink wrapping hundreds of LPs and CDs!" BTW: They look real pretty and sound even better!

Hopefully for you it's like "Oh my god this is gonna rule! I can't wait to buy this as soon as it hits the stores!" For now, feel free to follow this link for a free download of The Dirty Street.

Or check out the interview : Triumph of Lethargy is Not for Listeners. It's for the People Playing the Music.

December 3, 2010, 8:21 pm by Bree

Lisa Orth is a genius/artist/DJ/TLA frontlady who totally designed the cover to Nirvana's "Bleach"... and now she is the official tattoo artist for DSBR!!! Come to think of it, she's inked up practically every lady on the label. And plus the dude in Tacocat. Check out some of her work:

Lisa tattooed Michelle from TLA!

Lisa tattooed the adorable dinosaur from the least popular 80's Ramones album cover onto Lelah Tacocat!

Lisa tattooed this delicious Cheeseburger onto Alice TLA's forearm!

Lisa tattooed this art from a Soviet Union cigarette box onto DSBR Chairman Megan Birdsall!

September 22, 2010, 9:46 pm by Stacy

Chris Byrne, who rumor has it lives in the trailer next to the Spruce House (home to DSBR's very own Bree and Lelah TacocaT), is the new A Million Years Ago Drummer!  Seth Syberg the previous drummer is now shredding on guitar.  You will notice Chris in the picture as the one wearing shorts.  On a side note, Megan loves drummers who wear shorts, did this have anything to do with AMYA's decision to add Chris to the team?  I wouldn't say it didn't.

February 16, 2010, 12:17 am by M.L. Birdsall

April 14, 2009, 10:20 pm by M.L. Birdsall
I'm totally considering a Don't Stop Believin' Records calendar, you guys. 12 sexy months of glossy glamour shots.
April 14, 2009, 10:15 pm by M.L. Birdsall
Okay, I fixed the pictures in the update below so they aren't messing up the margins of the page anymore. Also, once again I am struck by what a sausage-fest this record label is.
April 13, 2009, 5:24 pm by M.L. Birdsall
Seattle's Only Newspaper- The Stranger has a Sex Survey they would like you to take. One of the questions on this survey is "Which Seattle Musician Would You Most Like To Bang?" They helpfully provide some suggestions, including DSBR's own Team Gina and 3/4 of Tacocat (aka the women in Tacocat). This is all very well and good for those of us who prefer the ladies, but perhaps dudes are more your speed? But you would also like to vote for a DSBR artist to bang? Well, you're in luck because there is a write-in option! And please allow me to suggest for you some of the Seattle-based hunks of Don't Stop Believin' Records.

The other 1/4 of Tacocat!
Eric Shades
Eric Hair
He's 6'5" and wears size 15 shoes! Look at that head of hair!

Clyde from Your Heart Breaks!
Clyde UK
Clyde BW
He writes love songs and his shaggy hair is often in his eyes!

Dashel Schueler!
Dashel Hat
Dashel Beard
He's all bearded and politically active!

The Terrordactyls!
Terrordactyls
They're animal lovers with great abs!

5/6 of See Me River!
See Me River
See Me River Trumpet
They need new promo pictures so that you can see everyone in the band!

Strong Killings!
Strong Killings
Mike Strong Killings
Carlos Strong Killings
Not to repeat myself- but look at those heads of hair!

So, this took way longer to write than I thought it would and the pictures are fucking up the tour dates. Anyway, sex survey, hot dudes, etc.
March 24, 2009, 12:35 am by M.L. Birdsall
So, The Pharmacy did a Europe-only split 7" with Japanther and I bought some copies from Bachelor Records so now YOU should buy some copies from the catalog page.
March 24, 2009, 12:20 am by M.L. Birdsall
Here's an update that doesn't matter, but people do ask me about it sometimes-- Scottie and I did finish watching all of the X-Files. Watching that last season is like doing chores, man. But the last episode is the big pay-off for sure.
March 21, 2009, 3:35 pm by M.L. Birdsall
Oh man! Check out the See Me River video for Don't Pray For Blood that Brendhan Bowers (drummer from The Pharmacy, remember?) made. We went over to Vashon and shot it in July and August. It's beautiful.
March 21, 2009, 2:40 pm by M.L. Birdsall
Wow guys, I've got a lot of updates. I'm just gonna do them in the order that I remember... First, new record! See Me River have new 5 song record out that is a split release with Aviation Records. We already did the full length Time Machine together and just out a couple weeks ago is the brand new 12" The Great Unwashed. Because that's what I'm into everybody- vinyl. Don't worry, it comes with a cd of the record so you can put it on your ipod. Check the catalog!

Tacocat album release show on Thursday! It's at Fusion Cafe (in the better, less huge-empty-cave-of-echoing-sound room that's to the left) which means it's all ages!
April 30, 2008, 1:12 pm by M.L. Birdsall
Lots of news:

1)Tomorrow the your heart breaks/Paul Baribeau 7" will arrive on my doorstep! Nate Powell did all the art for the record and the 2 postcards that are included in the sweet, sweet package. Go to the catalog page and order it.

2)I got the tacocat test pressings- it sounds awesome on vinyl, man.

3)Team Gina are in the studio recording their new record with Radio Sloan (Radio Sloan, son. I know, right?). It's almost done!

4)New band! See Me River- their album Time Machine will be a split release between don't stop believin' and Aviation Records. Check 'em out!

5)The Pharmacy came back for 12 days, now they're gone again. On the morning they left Kyle Johnson took their pictures- here they are. Does the picture of Stefan and his grandma warm your heart, too?
Scottie and I made it most of the way through season 5 of X-Files. We're getting closer. --Megan

Yesterday I made tacocat get their pictures taken in the pouring rain and intermittent hail. But don't feel bad for them because I bought them dried fruit and pizza. Check out the pictures here! Kyle Johnson took them, they look awesome.

Today I went to Snohomish and got the brand new Paul Baribeau song The Rolling Clouds mastered. It's going on the Your Heart Breaks/Paul Baribeau split 7" that's going in the mail to the plant tomorrow morning! --Megan

Oh man, a lot of stuff has happened since the last time I updated the news... First, Scotty and I did not manage to watch every season of X-Files before he left on tour. In fact, we only made it about 5 episodes into season 3. Turns out we have a lot more to do with our lives than we thought.

Wow, why did I put that as the first update? I mean, the beautiful new Pharmacy album is out, available on LP, CD, Itunes (check the catalog page!) and even cassette tape (from Highfives and Handshakes. Seriously guys, it's beautiful in looks and content. The release shows this weekend were great- Check out some great pictures from the Friday show here!They're on tour with pleasureboaters right now! Check out the dates to the right and go see both of them on tour!

And there was a pretty awesome article in the Stranger about me that you can see here. I'm an idiot for naming my record label the way I did. --Megan

The Pharmacy are about to leave on their west coast tour and when they get to San Francisco (Thursday) they're going to pick up their records!

Also, I just got some awesome posters printed for The Pharmacy, pleasureboaters and the Pharmacy/Japanther tour coming up in May.

Today I did an interview for a feature about the label in next weeks Stranger, during which I announced I could listen to American Beauty 100 times in a row. I bet that's the part that ends up larger and in bold.

Lastly, Scottie and I are attempting to watch all 9 seasons of the x-Files before he leaves on tour for a month. My earlier calculations determined we would need to watch approximately 11 hours a day. We're really behind. --Megan

UPDATE: Those were reduced fat Ritz crackers. Did you notice? They don't taste as delicious. And your ex-boyfriend bought me a whole new box. Shut it down, Bree. I can't find the new box, however. -Lelah
January 28, 2008, 11:50 pm by M.L. Birdsall
UPDATE: Bree Mckenna of Tacocat ate all of drummer Lelah Maupin's Ritz crackers while Maupin and Emily Nokes (singer of Tacocat) are on a visit to Longview, WA.Earlier in the evening, Megan Birdsall informs Mckenna that paper mache doesn't stick to tin foil. Mckenna had a difficult attempt at constructing coyote masks the night prior, a task that had been previously completed by one Megan Birdsall with minimal difficulty. Unfortunately, said masks were lost in Georgetown.UPDATE 2: Megan Birdsall's moon sign is also a Libra, making her a Libra-Libra. Tonight, the moon is actually in Libra, making it possible for Megan to shoot laser beams out of her eyes.

Okay, so you want to know something interesting? Dashel is an extra in 10 Things I Hate About You. Look for red hair in the prom scene! --Megan
January 23, 2008, 5:00 pm by M.L. Birdsall
Let's talk some more about how great this website looks now, shall we? Aaron (he plays guitar in Yes, Oh Yes) is a goddamn genius and totally awesome for building this whole thing. We were up until 7am this morning and then he had to go get on a fucking airplane to fly halfway across the country.In honor of this awesome site from now on the news stuff is going to get updated way more, and not just by me ("me" being Megan, who runs this stupid record label) but hopefully by Aaron, Scottie (from the pharmacy), Lelah (tacocat's drummer and also my totally great, totally legitimate and getting-school-credit-for-it intern),and Bree (tacocat's bassist and also my totally-illegitmate and not-really-at-all, but squawks-when-I-say-she-isn't "intern"). --Megan (yeah, if more than one person is going to do this now we're going to have to sign our names)
January 23, 2008, 5:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
New website! Look at this! It's great, right?Sooooo, the pharmacy's new record is at the plant right now. Check out a couple of tracks from it on the brand new MEDIA PLAYER (!!!) in the bottom left corner of your screen (I know, right? Aaron made that whole thing from scratch.) and look at the videos on the, well, videos page.Also, tacocat will probably be done recording someday. Probably.
December 12, 2007, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
The Terrordactyls cd will be ready to ship on Saturday! Check out the sweet promo Tyrel put together for it:
MB Promo
Also, you know what else is going to be completely awesome any day now? This website! We're (when I say "we" I mean Aaron from Yes, oh Yes while I sit next to him and play spider solitaire and demand different color palettes) re-building it all! End of the year, it's gonna look fucking great! Also, the pharmacy are done recording and TacocaT are almost done recording -- even more new releases soon!
November 11, 2007, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
The Terrordactyls limited edition Pharmacy cover EP is at the plant and will be released December 15th!
Mike Bowers
It's gonna have trading cards, guys. Trading Cards. Also, next up is the TacocaT 7" the 10 song TacocaT 7", that is. They're recording right now and should be done this week. Look for the release some time in mid-January. Also finishing up in the studio- The Pharmacy! Brand new full-length that's been a long time coming. Seattle release shows for that on February 1st and 2nd- one 21+ and one all-ages! Exciting times!
October 8, 2007, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
This Friday (the 12th) is the vinyl release show for Pleasureboaters full-length Gross! at The Vera Project.
August 21, 2007, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
Dude, the Yes, Oh Yes 7" looks sooo good!
Social Science
It's one of those sleeves that folds so on the inside it's got all the song lyrics and a little woodgrain all hand drawn! I think I need to add pages for all my releases so you can see the art and get a full track listing. Good idea. Anyway, the Bellingham release show was sweet and this Friday Seattle gets their chance to see Yes, Oh Yes and pick up the new 7" at The Dog Park as part of Carousel Festival. And then the guys head off on tour with membership. Check out the tour schedules and see if they're coming to your town. Lucky, lucky you!
August 9, 2007, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
Two-- no, wait- THREE 7" release shows for Yes, Oh Yes! First, 2 chances to catch them in Bellingham on August 18th- at 4pm at Everyday Music and then at 8pm at The Old Foundry with Shorthand for Epic and The Love Lights. On August 24th see them and membership on the first stop on their tour at The Dog Park as part of Carousel Festival!
July 27, 2007, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
More new bands! A sweet 3 song 7" from Yes, Oh Yes is being pressed even as you read this! Next up is casy and brian with a 4 song 7" on gold vinyl and then pleasureboaters full length gross on cd and vinyl. Finally, the terrordactyls super limited edition pharmacy covers ep! Exciting, right?
May 30, 2007, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
Seriously dudes, this summer is gonna be HUGE! Check back real soon for some detailed updates of impending hugeness. In the meantime, check out the Team Gina interview at VenusZine.com.
May 7, 2007, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
Hey, there's a new pony in the stable! (god, I really think that whole "pony" and "stable" thing is hilarious...) It's Pleasureboaters and they fucking rule. Look for their first full length this summer! I have a copy of rough mixes of 3 of the songs that are gonna be on the record (yes, record 'cause this release will be on cd and vinyl) and I cant stop listening to it. Go see them, they're amazing live.
April 25, 2007, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
I'm almost done folding 1000 cd booklets by hand!
April 18, 2007, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
Look at how sweet this comp is!
Ponies in a StableYou can get it from any of the bands, from my catalog page or (in Seattle) from the Capitol Hill Sonic Boom (more locations coming soon!)
April 4, 2007, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
Oh man, total Kinkos nightmare Saturday night. Anyway, the sleeves should be back from the printers Friday afternoon... If you're in Seattle come to the Comet and see the pharmacy, Holy Ghost Revival and Tulsa or come to The Wild Rose and see Team Gina that night to pick up a copy. I myself will be walking back and forth between the 2 shows all night.
March 11, 2007, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
So, looks like the comp cd (which is called Ponies in a Stable, which is really only funny to me) should be done by the end of the month! Just in time for Your Heart Breaks to head to Europe and The Pharmacy's 2.5 month tour.
February 20, 2007, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
Check it out! Sweet comp cd on the way-- look at the bands!Casy and Brian, the pharmacy, Karl Blau, Yes oh Yes, Scream Club, Western Graves, The Trashies, Fake Feathers, cloudsasha, the Flexxx, Angelo Spencer, Gina Young, the Holy Ghost Revival, Tulsa, T.v.

December 27, 2006, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
I haven't updated this thing for 7 months. Wow, what is my fucking problem? So, dsbr-004 came out in November, Your Heart Breaks Sailor System. On January 5th if you're in the Seattle area come check out the cd release show for dsbr-005 Team Gina Gina Gina Revolution at the Wild Rose. If you're not in the Seattle area, you're in luck 'cause they leave on a national tour on January 6th. Click that link above and see when to go see them in your town. They're not coming to your town? Or you just want to learn all the lyrics before they get there? Then head other to the catalog page and order it Gina Gina Revolution today! (and I'll mail it to you on January 3rd.)
May 22, 2006, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
I just wanted to tell everyone about when I went to pay The Pharmacy's car insurance (since they couldn't find a washington mutual in whatever state they were in)... so I'm standing there giving money to the agent and some woman also in the waiting room leans over and says "Excuse me, sir, but you really need to pull up your pants." I mean, I probably DID need to pull up my pants, but what business is it of hers? I'm a 25 year old woman... I'm gonna wear my pants however I want. Ya heard? oh, yeah and the Pharmacy will be home in a matter of hours.
May 6, 2006, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
Wow, I never update this page. But I'm totally going to start updating all the time for the 3 people who look at this website (Hey guys, thanks for stopping by...). let's see, the pharmacy is nearing the end of their y2k6 spring break tour, the van broke down twice, but they're still having fun. Come see Dashel on Vashon on the 14th, he may even have t-shirts by then. And in ultra exciting news, looks like dsbr-004 is going to be a cd from Your Heart Breaks! Totally awesome! It will probably be out sometime in the fall... meanwhile check out their website and buy their other albums and go see 'em at Plan-It-X fest, where every pony from the Don't Stop Believin' Records stable can be seen this July! Exciting!
February 15, 2006, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall

January 15, 2006, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
The 'Patience' mp3 on Dashel's page finally works. The quality isn't stellar, but you should be buying the album with money, not listening to it for free. Haven't you heard that downloadable music is killing the music industry? Just ask Metallica... Lars will tell you all about it.
January 13, 2006, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
First off- Hooray! 'B.F.F.' is #27 on the Three Imaginary Girls top NW albums of 2005! And in other ultra-exciting news, both The Pharmacy and Dashel are playing at Plan-It-X fest this summer! Check out www.plan-it-x.com! It's exciting!
December 21, 2005, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
Go to Three Imaginary Girls and vote for the pharmacy!
December 19, 2005, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
Dashel's cd has arrived! If you want to order it from me ($10ppd) check out the contact page for my address or use paypal (pay to dontstopbelievin@hotmail.com). If you are in Seattle it should be in stores soon.
November 15, 2005, 12:00 am by M.L. Birdsall
Today I'm going to mail off the stuff for Dashel's album and the 2nd press of The Pharmacy 'B.F.F.' (all new artwork for the new press!!) I bought $3.85 stamps so I don't even need to set foot in the post office. Ah, this modern age.
