G7 Welcoming Committee Records. Uncooperative since 1997.

It’s been awhile since you’ve heard any actual news from us related to this whole record label business, and for this we apologize. We’ve all been very busy doing anything and everything that has nothing to do with this record label.

But that’s all about to change.

Instead of pretending that we’re actually still interested in the practice of accepting submissions and hunting for, then filtering and sorting, then negotiating and paying for, then promoting and distributing and accounting for music … instead of pretending that we like and are happy doing all THAT … we are doing the opposite. And opposite, is opposite.

No more. I’m going on 58, Chris is pushing 65, and Brent … well Brent’s only 34, but he spends half of his time in the drunk tank and the other half in the dunk tank, so he’s a write off.

Point is … well, let me illustrate. Go to the kitchen, open the drawer … no, not that one, it’s all full of old twist ties and plastic bags … no, one to the left … no no, the OTHER left … OK, good, that one … now get a fork. No, that’s a foon. THERE we go – now THAT’S a fork! OK now, what was I saying? Oh right – now stick that fork in us. Because WE’RE DONE.

All G7 releases will remain available in their current high-quality digital form into the foreseeable future. Watch for Chris’ forthcoming retrospective on the history of G7 from AK Press next year?

It’s been a slice dickwads.
