Just a heads up, this will be up for sale in the U.S. on 10/6 at noon (in theory) and 10/13 in Japan.

We will be doing a t-shirt/record pre-order bundle thing once the records are done, so we can print shirts to order

Unless it's a BIG EVENT, you most likely won't find out about shows until a few weeks before. I always just ask friends like a week before and check flyers at all the record stores. They do an INSANE job of flyering over there.

Greetings!
!こんにちは
!أهْلاً وَسَهْلاً

Just wanted to let everyone know that I've made streaming available for another song from the upcoming 傀儡電伝 LP, this time one of the unreleased tracks from 1982. You are some of the first people to ever hear this! Also, here's an image of Dend? Marionette performing live on August 20th, 1981 at Taku Taku in Kyoto:

This LP will be released with my dear friend Kazu of Punk & Destroy fame on his label Mouse Records. The release date will be announced shortly. Expect it soon.

When 傀儡電伝 is released in physical and digital form, I will also be announcing newer BLR projects

Follow us on IG for updates on releases, new projects, and any cool unearthed photo ephemera! @bitterlakerecordings

still counting on you for an aburadako ADK compilation

I have learned more about who owns the rights to the label! Not sure I do anything will come of much, but I have a few more projects to deal with before I even try haha

Hey!

I've made a bandcamp for the new reissue label I am doing called Bitter Lake Recordings.

https://bitterlakerecordings.bandcamp.com/
https://bitterlakerecordings.bandcamp.com/
https://bitterlakerecordings.bandcamp.com/

I will be focusing on the Japanese underground (punk, synth, new wave, pop, whatever!) and the first release is, in theory, 3-4 weeks from completion.



This first record is an LP of Osaka band Dendo Marionette, which compiles their incredibly rare flexi from 1981 on one side and an amazing unreleased EP from 1982 on the other. Up right now is the first track from the flexi (which you may or may not have heard on YouTube). In the coming weeks, I will be putting up one of the unreleased tracks for people to hear and will hopefully have some other news regarding new releases/projects. Very excited

I'm about to go in and send all the orders out, but I didn't put all of them on the webstore. There might be one or two left, if so I'll let you know!
