May is proving to be a great month! First off:

Aqui Estamos Records will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary, May 27th. This fledging label has been working non-stop the last year and what a fun roller coaster it has been. We have managed to sign two wonderful artists (Cashes Rivers and Canby) hold our first label showcase (Landing Party in February) release a split 7in and May 10th release Canby’s first full length CD – RAT all before learning our A B C’s!

To celebrate this past year we are offering FREE SHIPPING in the month of May for all online orders.

Second:

Did I mention Canby’s NEW album will be released May 10th? If you have not picked up your copy at last nights CD release party have no fear! You can pre-order your copy now and have it delivered to you on May 10th. How sweet is that!?

Cashes Rivers’ fan we have some updates for you too. 2010 WILL see the full length released. It has been confirmed that the album is done! It will be traveling with Cashes and Brandon Darner later this month to Omaha for some mastering, then off to press. EXCITING! As fun and exciting as 2009 was, we have some really great things happening in 2010. Thanks for all your support so far. We are very thankful and can’t express it enough. We love music and want to share it with everyone, without your support this last year would not have been possible.

XOXO

Last Friday we had the joy of surprising Scott with a gift wrapped box that contained the CANBY full-length album RAT. Cashes Rivers behind the camera we all sat there in anticipation for the first cd to be opened. EXCITING!!!

Scott poured his heart into this album and we are so lucky to be a part of his project. This is not only Scott’s first solo release but it is Aqui Estamos Record’s first artist release. The album will have it’s official release May 10th. (in local stores, online, in your grandma’s cd player) BUT do not fear Canby will have a CD release show May 1st at The Vaudeville Mews doors open at 9:30pm with Skypiper and Golden Veins
