DO YOU BOOK DIY SHOWS?-All of you who book shows across the United States or
actually anywhere in the world, get in touch. Trying to build a good network of
DIY venues/promoters for Asian Man Records bands. So get in touch if you can
help with booking. mikeasianman@aol.com

TRADES: Anybody live in the bay area?? Near San Francisco? Want to trade stuff
for Asian Man cds, shirts, etc. What free stuff you ask?? Basically
anything..if you work in a restaurant, theater, any type of entertainment like
arcades, batting cages, amusement parks, blah blah....anything. Let's trade!!
Anything we have at Asian Man is up for trade. BOOYAH!!

It's 10:03 AM here in partly sunny California. It's supposed to start raining through the weekend. YAY!! Anyways, I am knee deep in JOYCE MANOR pre-order packaging. We hope to start shipping orders by next Tuesday. I'll be sure to take some photos of the madness and will post on our social media circles. That's always fun to do. Don't you think?

Joyce Manor hit the road today for the next 5 weeks. They're teaming up with Andrew Jackson Jihad for the second half of the tour, which will make for an incredible lineup. I'm excited to see them tomorrow in San Francisco. I've only seen the band once before, so I'm extra excited to see them. Yup...
