The Venetia Fair have long proven they are a band like no other currently (perhaps ever) in existence. Their sound has been described as everything from “spaz rock” to “a circus from hell,” but at UTG we simply refer to it as great all-American rock and roll, and we could not be more excited to have partnered with them for this special announcement.

Having forgone the typical album release route earlier this year by crowdfunding the release of Every Sick, Disgusting Thought We’ve Got In Our Brain, The Venetia Fair are again stepping out in a unique way with their first vinyl release.

The first pressing of Every Sick, Disgusting Thought We’ve Got In Our Brain will be a limited edition run of 250 units, including unique features such as color splattered vinyl, and a rotating pinwheel of images beneath the front cover. As an added bonus, the first 100 sold come complete with a SwitchBitch Records special package! You can grab your copy starting today on The Venetia Fair’s official webstore.

To celebrate the release of their first vinyl, The Venetia Fair and SwitchBitch Records will be holding a vinyl release showcase sponsored by UTG on August 10 at 3065 Live in Wareham, MA. They will be playing alongside friends Vanna, Lions Lions, Our Last Night and more. You can view a flyer for the event at the end of this post, or click here for more information.

In a letter written to fans on the eve of the vinyl announcement, member Mike Abiuso wrote:

Sitting crossed legged in front of your record player; you carefully slide the disc from its sleeve. With eager anticipation, you place it onto the turntable. Lowering the arm, the disc begins to spin and the needle treads through those magical grooves, analog sounds of performance escaping from your speakers. All the while, you sit entranced by the artwork, reading along from the lyric sheet that was tucked inside. There is nothing else in the world like the perfect ritual of experiencing recorded music on vinyl.

On August 1st 2013, I am beyond excited to announce that my band The Venetia Fair’s latest effort, ‘Every Sick, Disgusting Thought We’ve Got In Our Brain’ will not only be the debut vinyl for my label, SwitchBitch Records, but also the first ever vinyl pressing of a record I’ve played on.

Given the momentousness of the occasion, I felt the need to go all out on quality and production, carefully planning and executing every aspect, from the completely custom layout to the custom color splatter on each disc. I couldn’t be more proud of the final product our amazing fans will be receiving.

Above all, I am happiest to be able to share this experience with four of my best friends and the sickest humans I’ve ever met, The Venetia Fair. We have poured our hearts and souls into this record and we hope you love it as much as we do.

Love Always,
Mike Abiuso of The Venetia Fair and SwitchBitch Records
