NEWS:

THE SHINS are now the biggest thing since sliced bread. They're heading out
on a US tour with Modest Mouse next week, and following it with a second
tour with Preston School Of Industry right after. Look for their new video
for "New Slang" (which aired on MTV's 120 Minutes recently). Here's a little
review we found in Rolling Stone

Everyone's favorite Elephant 6/SpinArt band THE MINDERS will be releasing a
7" on Omnibus in the near future. More on that later!

The new ENT 7" is just about done and off to the presses. Here's a little
preview of what they're about
http://www.newsreview.com/issues/sacto/2001-08-23/music.asp They'll be
playing a lot of the west coast over the next few months, check them out!

TRACK STAR (featuring Wyatt Cusick of The Aislers Set) are heading out on
tour with a new two-song 7" on Omnibus. They're working on a new album to be
released on Suicide Squeeze.

MATES OF STATE are on tour with The Appleseed Cast as you read this. They're
heading out with Beulah in the near future, and then The Anniversary soon
after (Dates posted on the Omnibus site as they're confirmed). They've been
working hard on the new record, to be released on Polyvinyl. Don't forget
about the new 7" on Snowglobe Records to tie you over until then.

ELECTRO GROUP have started recording some new songs for a follow up to "A
New Pacifca" to be released sometime next year, in the meantime you can pick
up a copy of the recent Electro Group/Rocking Horse Winner split 7" on Slide
The Needle www.slidetheneedle.com (artwork on the EG side by Jay Howell).
They'll be playing out a lot in the next few months, catch them if you can.

JAY HOWELL (Omnibus art-guy, one-time drummer for Shove) has been hard at
work getting ready for the Oct. 4th showcase. Look for his artwork on the
