The first video will be released next Monday! Scope the teaser trailer: TREKKY RECORDS ANNOUNCES TRKfest  We're getting into that special time of year: Outdoor Festival Season. We here at Trekky Records are not ones to sit out on anything, so we're throwing our own! We've named our extra-special one day outdoor festival "TRKfest" which we are pronouncing "trek-fest" but really you can call it whatever you like as long as you come. We've asked the excellent bands in our collective as well as some of our friends bands from the Triangle to join us for 10 hours of glorious music on May 31. Here's the bands: The Never Bowerbirds Endless Mic Megafaun Embarrassing Fruits Hammer No More the Fingers Butterflies The Future Kings of Nowhere Barghest Wil Donegan and the Americans Vibrant Green We'll kick things off at 2PM and roll right on thru Midnight. There will also be food, snacks, games, giant chess, crafts, art and all sorts of other things. Can't wait to see you there! 03.24.08 ENDLESS MIC HAS A NEW MIXTAPE  Endless Mic and Trekky Records are proud to announce the release of The All New Super Exclusive Al Gore Bongwater Mixtape Volume One. The mixtape reflects some material the boys found time to record during their hectic schedules supporting their most recent release, Baby Geniuses. Written and recorded over the course of a month, much of the mixtape features first-take verses, spontaneously composed during late night recording sessions. Listeners may recognize re-imaginings of beats from the likes of Daft Punk, Missy Elliot, Pink Floyd, 50 Cent, and others. Al Gore Bongwater Club also includes contributions from Geechi Suede of Camp Lo and FreeBass 808 (AKA the Apple Juice Kid), on a remix of "Brother" by Endless Mic's hometown friends Annuals. The mixtape, as a musical format, has always been a liberating medium, freeing up artists from the constructs of standard LPs. The format is also a way to reach listeners and fans more directly. For that reason, The All New Super Exclusive Al Gore Bongwater Club Mixtape Volume One is available for download right now, for free. 03.07.08 TREKKY RECORDS ENDORSES BARACK OBAMA  Obama meets with Trekky Management in the meadow behind their house in Chapel Hill, NC After months of intense deliberation, and visits from presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards and (Google) Ron Paul, Trekky Records has decided to endorse Senator Barack Hussein Obama for President of the USA. The much sought after Trekky endorsement generally ripples out into a 3 or 4 point jump in the polls, so we hope to see Obama's numbers increase in the coming weeks. 02.07.08 THE INDEPENDENT ON LOST IN THE TREES  The Independent has published a lovely article about Lost in the Trees and Ari Picker's non-profit organization, Project Symphony. Read it online here. 01.25.08 TREKKY RECORDS BLOG  Trekky Records has entered the blogging world, so get yr RSS feeders armed and ready for action.
