School is Out.

Posted 6.16.09

Have at you! Yes, I teach and it is surreal to have 10 weeks off during summertime. It is also surreal that I am getting hitched July 18th. So now I have the time to plan my wedding and work on Bakery Outlet. But enough about me, let me tell you about my band Tubers. "Anachronous" CD/LP is close to being sent off to press. Holopaw full length CD "Oh, Glory. Oh, Wilderness." is in the works and now will be released on LP by our great friend Travis Fristoe and his Obscurist Press. Street Eaters "We See Monsters" 12" will be here very soon. Old Growth "Under the Sun" LP and split 7" with 12XU are so damn close. Cassette S/T LP almost here. Don't forget Landlord "Lifers" CD and Nervous Dogs "Great Doors" E.P. are here now. New Bako plans involve Dudelord, featuring 12 Hr Turn bandmate Matt Oliver on drums, which will record for a 7" this month. Lastly, I will release a full length by a great band Surfer Blood from West Palm Beach where I grew up. Where were bands like them when I was in high school?

Soy Frickalatte.

Posted 4.23.09

Tubers tour was fantastic. Big cups of Soy Frickalatte to Old Growth, Dudelord, Science of Yabra, Daniel, John Sutherland, Ian, Jake, Bruce, Dutcth Bros for the free coffee and interest in our nightlife, Wild Assumptions, Black Rainbow, Defiance Ohio, Underground Railroad to Candyland, Pickup Pattern, White Night, and all who arranged shows. I'm sure I left out some important folks-sorry. Those suspect of vegans and those who card only me, an elder in our group- you blew it. Tubers will finish a new CD/LP titled "Anachronous" once Rob Mcgregor finishes moving into his new studio. Congratulations Rob! Bakery will release it along with No Idea and Echo Canyon. Hey! Landlord "Lifers" CD and Nervous Dogs "Great Doors" E.P. are here! Believe it now. Old Growth "Under the Sun" LP and Cassette S/T LP almost here. New Bako plans involve Holopaw full length "All Holes, No Glory" and a Dudelord 7" which features old 12 Hr Turn bandmate Matt Oliver on drums. Be seeing you.

Almost Ready, Almost There.

Posted 3.14.09

Hello! Harvest of Hope Fest was fun and inspirational. Thanks Ryan Murphy, Ryan Dettra and all else for making it happen. Seeing my brother and sister, The Night Marchers, Underground Railroad to Candyland, Fiya, EYC, Good Luck, Paul Baribeau, camping with Ashley, Sean and Kelly, and lots of friends rarely seen were the highlighs. Tubers is almost finished recording with Mr Rob Mcgregor for a new CD/LP currently titled "Anachronous". We are excited to have recorded it with new tuber Matt Sweeting. Hopefully all will be done by the time we fly west for Tour March 27-April 12. A few days agoTubers was lucky enough to play with Nervous Dogs while delivering their new 7" to them with some covers whipped up quicklike. Proper covers should be done in a week for the official release of "Great Doors" E.P. Landlord "Lifers" CD should be here anytime as well. Working on covers for Old Growth "Under the Sun" LP and Cassette S/T LP. The vinyl for both sits in my "office". I think thats all for now. Be seeing you.

Harvest of Hope Benefit.

Posted 1.07.09

Hey! Good friend Ryan Murphy works with Harvest of Hope Foundation, which provides emergency services & financial aid to migrant workers and their families. He, along with help from rest of No Idears/Southern Lovin' and many others, has been planning the first annual Harvest of Hope Fest March 6,7,& 8 at the St. Johns County Fairgrounds in our very own St. Augustine, Florida. Some Bakery bands including Tubers and E.Y.C. will play along with many other acts including Propagandi, Against Me!, and maybe even Bad Brains. We are excited such a positive and inspiring event not only is going down so close to us, but is happening because of our friends. Thanks Ryan!

Merry New Year! 2009. This holiday my sister Erin made another treat from our past vegan maybe for the first time ever--galumkies (Polish stuffed cabbage). Followed by some vegan buckeyes Ashley made from Kelly's recipes. Yes! Solid Pony managed to play a show at the Present Moment Cafe while Lenny blew through town between semesters. I think we gently rocked it as well as we ever did. Landlord is releasing their new CD "Lifers" with us. LP by Houseplant, tape by PR3. Tape is out now, LP/CD very soon. They just embarked on a nice sized tour. Look at the dates on our Shows page since they are likely headed your way in the next month. Be seeing you!

December.

Posted 12.05.08

Tubers will play a few shows with American Tourist. We plan on recording for a 12" 45 at Rob McGregor's Goldentone studio in February, and then taking a west coast trip in April as well. I have some copies of the Jammy Dodgers/Nervous Dogs 'Special Fest Fuck up Split 7"'. If you want one get in touch, or go to No Idea. Street Eaters, wonderful new friends from the west coast mit member of Triclops!, will be working with us to release some sort of ep very soon. Also just heard most of the songs to be on the Old Growth/12XU split 7". 12XU are friends from france, some of whom also play in Daïtro. The 7" will also be released in Europe by Purepainsugar. Old Growth is headed down the west coast in December. That's all for now!

Hey, It's me! Rich!

Posted 11.01.08

Well Webmaster Erin Tobey has just given me moderate amounts of power to update this here site. Thanks Erin! Expect more up to date news and infos. Speaking of Erin, her band Pink Razors just released their new LP "Leave Alive" on Erin and Jeff's very own brand new label House Plant Records! I just got back from Fest 7 and had a wonderful time seeing friends I rarely am able to see. While playing with Tubers I looked out to everyone watching, many whom have influenced me over the years, and was happy they wanted to be there with us. Thanks for making it everyone. Tubers also played with Matt Sweeting as fourth Tuber for the first time. We are all excited it finally happened and are stoked to write new Tubers songs with him. Nervous Dogs was another highlight even as Ashley and I watched from outside as Jacob rocked it in the front row. The 7" is coming in December, but in the meantime there is now a happy accident of a release resulting from a record plant mistake on a rush job of the Jammy Dodgers 7". What came to No Idea's door was one side of the Dodgers and one side of the Dogs' 7"s on one record. So now you have a limited split release (200?) of Jammy Dodgers/Nervous Dogs 'Special Fest Fuck up Split 7"'. More news on the availability of that soon. Matty Pop Chart was great to see and eat Chopsticks with. Many bands I was sad to miss including Casssette, Alligator, Good Luck, Die Hoffnung and on and on.

Tubers & Alligator on Tour in August!

New Year News

Posted 01.02.08

Alright! Exciting work for us Bako-wise. Lenny has built his own studio and dubbed himself engineer/mastererer. So far he has recorded Tubers, Solid Pony, and Deep And Holy Sea. More Tubers and Pony in the future as well as Verde. I am struggling with computers and laying out the new Solid Pony CD/LP and a few ads. What could be next for us to tackle? One day we will cut our own albums and build our own guitars... not unlike Dead Moon? Out now: Matty Pop Chart "Everyone Does Everything" LP and Solid Pony "Collar to Cuff" CD! Also, Bako Comp CD - A Bakery Outlet Sampler: track from each bako-release and a few from future and/or hopeful bako-releases under one roof. I am happy to listen to all these songs compiled from people I truly love and look to for aural inspiration. Mastered by our own lenny and made to look visually beautiful by musician, artist, webmaster, friend Erin Tobey. And it is cheap to free if you see us at a show! -Rich

Late Summer News

Posted 08.01.07

Hallo!  Just back from Europe tour when some
Bako-friends, Matty Pop Chart & Des_Ark, stopped for a
short while here in St. Augustine to play and do some
bodysurfing.  Spending time with them stoked me to be
a part of my friends' music somehow.  Matty's LP
"Everyone Does Everything" is just about done.  Out
Now are Tubers "Shell Out" CD and Environmental Youth
Crunch "Let's Ride" CD.  Tubers LP will be done in a handful
of weeks.  Also a new Tubers organic cotton shirt and
button this time drawn by sean mahan and designed by
Erin Tobey illustrating that crucial North Shore
instruction given to Rick by Turtle: "When the wave
breaks here, don't be there, or you're gonna get
drilled. .. "  Still in the works are Solid Pony
CD/LP, Reactionary 3 CD, Cassette LP, Old Growth "?"
CD/LP, Twelve Hour Turn "Expense of Flight" CD,
Bako-CD sampler, and Emperor X CD/Book. 
Tschüsssssieeee! - Rich

Summer News

Posted 06.05.07

Hallo everyone.  Tubers "Shell Out" CD/LP is almost birthed.  A few more steps were taken into our own hands on this one - recorded by our own Lenny Rutland at his house and mastered by friend Alan Mills here in St. Augustine.  Should be done by the time we set out for tour in Europe with our great friends and new "label mates" Environmental Youth Crunch.  Their first full length "Let's Ride" will be finished just in time for tour as well.  It saddens us all that Solid Pony will not be able to ride as originally planned, but will surely see many other tours in the future.  We will also have new Tubers shirts and buttons for the trip.  Still on deck and on their way: Reactionary 3 CD, Solid Pony CD/LP, Matty Pop Chart LP, 12 Hour Turn "Expense of Flight" CD, Emperor X Cd, and Bako-sampler CD. Soon! - Rich

Beginning-of-the Year Baking

Updated 10.03.06

Here were are in October already, and that means "everyone's favorite holiday" is around the corner: THE FEST V! Come see The Beat Buttons, Solid Pony, Erin Tobey, Tubers, Verde and many more in Gainesville on October 27-29. Please forgive us for indirectly advertising for Pabst Blue Ribbon on our website!

Tubers/Solid Pony Yurp tour was zupa! Danke, Ingo! Sean Mahan's (artist for 12 Hour Turn, Floor, Solid Pony, Beat Buttons, etc) "Verde" cd is here after a long labor; you can smell it permeating the whole bakery house... or it might be the pineapple empanadas he and Kelly made the other night. Also very close to finished is a 8.5x11 print of one of my favorites of his, so now you won't have to drop any serious dough to put some of his artwork on your wall. Both were ready for his art show in Brooklyn September 30. Also in the works is a split 7" by Old Growth and Science of Yabra. This is also a split release between Bakery and Dead Tank Records. Ten Volt Shock's second LP "6null3" has also arrived, and we will begin work on the CD very soon as well. We are very excited to be a part of releasing this and working with Xmist. Jacksonville native Chad Metheny aka Emperor X is about to record 40 or so songs telling a story of a fictional town in California which will be released on several CDs by several labels, including his own Discos Mariscos. We will release one, too. Chad has also been recording Solid Pony's second album this fall. Tubers buttons and organic cotton tubers shirts are done. Tschuss!

Tubers and Solid Pony Go To Yurp

Posted 05.08.06

As we speak, Rich, Lenny, Jacob and Jeff are packing their backpacks to prepare for a month and a half long tour of Europe. Solid Pony will be playing shows with Tubers from June 1 - June 18; Tubers will go the rest alone. Look to the Shows page to find out which Bavarian hamlet is closest to your town. Thanks very much to Ingo and The Company With the Golden Arm for booking and organizing. (Look at the Tubers tour poster, designed by Erin Tobey, featuring artwork by Rose Marie Homer Diem.)

Our newest release, Verde's The Undeserved Current CD, will be at the plant soon. Verde is the recording project of beloved Florida artist Sean Mahan (most well-known for making album art for such bands as Twelve Hour Turn, Floor and others). Expect this to be ready by mid-June. Full-color prints by Sean Mahan and Bloomington artist Erin Tobey will also become available during the summer. Keep it real, boiii.

Des Ark, Beat Buttons & Old Growth in!

Posted 01.18.06

Several things that we'd been waiting on have finally come in: Des Ark LPs, Beat Buttons LPs, and CDs and LPs for Old Growth. These are all available from the No Idea and Dead Tank websites.

Our humble webmaster has finally taken the initiave to figure out what the deal was with several gliches on the site. Hopefully everything is lining up right and visible and not looking stupid, even if you're running Internet Explorer. Very sorry for taking so long to get our act together.

Buttons & T-Shirts!

Posted 12.05.05

We have some new arrivals in our catalog - sweet, sweet Ts and one-inch buttons. Wear your Bakery Outlet allegiance with pride! At last check, they were not yet available from the No Idea distro, but they should be and thus will be soon.

Remember the Fest? That was really fun.

Moving the Units

The wait is finally over for the new full-length album from Portland's Old Growth! We have the CDs and LPs ready to be shipped priority mail to your mailbox. No Idea should have them in stock shortly. Check back soon for Old Growth MP3s.

Erin Tobey, Solid Pony and Tubers are all ready to hit the road, so keep your eyes peeled!

The Autumn at the Bakery

Posted 10.21.05

We are plugging away here in the Bako kitchen, preparing many sweet audio treats to get the jump on your adult-onset diabetes. We now feature MP3s for nearly all the Bakery bands, found on the band and album sites. We are also working on a collaborative comp with No Idea Records featuring songs from new Bako and No Idea releases. Look for this in the next few months! In the near future you can also look forward to new t-shirts, grocery bags, buttons, prints by Sean Mahan and other surprises.

The schedule for THE FEST 4 is finalized and up on their website. We know there are a million of your favorite bands that you want to see, but try to make time for the Beat Buttons, Solid Pony, Tubers, Cassette and Erin Tobey.

We're Working On It

Posted 09.28.05

Bakery HQ is busy preparing its upcoming releases and the website is slowly coming into its own. Continued apologies for stuff looking weird or images being missing. We're working on browser compatibility and other things (sorry, Internet Explorer users). MP3s coming very soon!

Also! Many Bakery Outlet bands are playing the much-anticipated FEST 4 in Gainesville on November 18, 19 & 20. One thousand bands are playing, including the Beat Buttons, Tubers, Solid Pony, Erin Tobey & Cassette. Get your tickets in advance, dude, because things are gonna get CROWDED.

New Website! Obviously!

Posted 09.18.05

As you can see, Bakery Outlet has a new face to show the internet community. We asked our good friend and Bakery Outlet denizen Erin Tobey to usher us into the twenty-first century with a digital make-over, and after many years of toil she has finally finished. Thank you, Erin! May your good work be rewarded with endless cookies and coffee at the internet cafe. Please excuse us for the next few days while we work out the bugs and get everything ship shape.
