FALL 08

Hello Pals, times are ready for a new update. I have so many news that I don't even know where to start! Well, the Golden Jooklo Age has been kindly invited by Sonic Youth as opening act for their italian shows, october 9 and 11, in Milan and Bolzano. Big thanks to SY and big thanks to all the friends who set up shows for GJA in the days before and after those events. Here's the calendar of our upcoming gigs:
october 5: Milan @ Dauntaun Leoncavallo, w/h Deathroes
october 9: Milan @ Alcatraz, w/h Sonic Youth
october 10: Verona @ Esposta
october 11: Bolzano @ Stahlbau Pichler, w/h Sonic Youth
october 12: Sacile @ Colonia Tallon, secret event!
Just a couple of weeks ago, the always top notch Qbico records released a new GJA Lp, called 'Tropical Trip', that was recorded in Lisbon last february, featuring our brothers Tiago Miranda, Rui Damaso and... Rui Damaso (it's not a joke!).

Ok, so just a couple of weeks to relax after the shows, and it's time already for another big event! In fact a new amazing place is gonna open in Vittorio Veneto, and it's called Codalunga. Codalunga will be a store, an art space, and a small concert venue at the same time! So what's better than celebrating its birth with 3 Days of Struggle???

And finally I want to say thanks to all the people who purchased the new 8mm releases, Paul Flaherty / Weasel Walter 'Particles' LP, Stefano Pilia's 'Last Days', and the 2 tapes from Gang Wizard, Ducktails, Golden Cup, Vluba, and the Maths Balance Volume / Sejayno split cassette. It was a joy for me to work on those records, and your feedback has been simply amazing, with all the releases almost sold out only after a couple of weeks!!!!!

Obrigado! See you!
Luca
