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 Deathroesoctober 9: Milan @ Alcatraz, w/h Sonic Youthoctober 10: Verona @ Espostaoctober 11: Bolzano @ Stahlbau Pichler, w/h Sonic Youthoctober 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??? Here's the final program of what is supposed to be

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
