Staying Home… One Year Later

Posted on March 22, 2021 | Leave a comment

Holy smokes, has it been a year?!?? Just over a year ago as the stay-at-home order was issued in Michigan we started doing daily videos of GTG family and friends in quarantine. Weird times, but the solidarity experienced was a pretty awesome thing to take in, though we’re not quite ready to start getting pandemic nostalgia. Here’s a playlist of Staying Home With GTG Records from spring 2020, and there are a few more on the GTG facebook that never got uploaded to youtube. Glad we’re all still here!

GTG Fest 2020 – Online! (UPDATED w/ Schedule)

Posted on October 1, 2020 | Leave a comment

You didn’t think we’d let COVID take away GTG Fest did ya? The 13th annual GTG Fest will be coming to you SATURDAY OCTOBER 10, following you on your mobile devices, lurking in the corner of your home on your smart TV, somehow popping up on that confusingly not-discarded Windows 98 Gateway tower that hasn’t been connected to the internet since 2001… EVERYWHERE!

Did I make watching a livestream briefly sound a little exciting? Well, we’re gonna do our best to bring some of the magical GTG Fest chaos to the streams. This thing’ll be streaming live from 4-10 at the GTG facebook page AND on the GTGRecordsTV youtube channel for all you fellow facebook haters out there. The show must go on!

SATURDAY OCTOBER 10
4 PM-10 PM EST

SCHEDULE:
Wild Honey / Drinking Mercury 4:00-4:30
The Soods 4:30-5:00
Raymond Strife 5:00-5:30
Narc Out the Reds 5:30-6:00

That’s a fest, eh? Well, it’s what we’ve got! Just like Joe Biden. Hey, I kept this apolitical until now, that’s good for 2020, right? Vote for Biden on November 3rd or else you’re part of the problem of social regression, racial injustice, natural destruction, and general being a fucking asshole.

xoxo – see you next Saturday!

Staying Home With GTG Records!

Posted on March 30, 2020 | Leave a comment

Well, all righty where to begin? I’ll pretend that someone from the future is looking through the GTG archives, how about that? Classic narrative device!

In early 2020 a highly contagious flu called Coronavirus forced people all over the world to stay quarantined in their homes to not spread the virus so fast that it would collapse the health care system. It was a wild thing to live through, let me tell you. So what we did way back then to stay sane and try to make something positive creatively was release a series of videos every day on the GTG Records facebook page featuring solo/acoustic performances of GTG artists and friends. Most of these videos were filmed via phones or simple camera setups. It’s cool to look back on now from a safe and comfortable vantage point from the future, er, present. We called the video series “Staying At Home With GTG Records” and here’s the videos posted the first two weeks of containment in March 2020. Wow, check them out!

Michael Boyes (Drinking Mercury) – Delightfully Lonely

Timmy Rodriguez (Drinking Mercury) – A Nordhouse Night

Joseph “Dim” Wolstenholme (Alpha Rabbit/Honah Lee) – Red State Blues

Disappointed Dad – Field of Nightmares

Shannon Perez (Erotic Novels) – Veronica Westerberg

Jeff Gower (The Stick Arounds) Saint Mary of the Woods

Elroy Meltzer – Powdered Sugar

Jeremy Porter – Voices

Space Jam (Meeko Brando / Alpha Rabbit) – Quarantine

Ryne Clarke – Hey!

Maggie May – Everything’s Fucked Up, What The Fuck?

Harborcoat – Ravines

Ben Hassenger – I’ll See You Around

Drinking Mercury – Stay Home

ex-hex-erotic-novels

Erotic Novels are playing a big-ass show with Ex Hex on August 22nd in Asbury Park! Erotic Novels, if y’all have been sleeping on this, are the best soulful-punk-indie-awesome band in the world and they’re holding down the east coast end of things for GTG really nicely. These days Erotic Novels are the duo of Shannon Perez and Kevin Poznaski and sometimes they have guest guitarists but at ALL TIMES they’re kickin’ ass. They’ll be hitting the road this fall and will be cranking out their second LP this winter!

Erotic Novels “There Is No Language In Our Love” OUT NOW

Posted on September 10, 2018 | Leave a comment

GTG110 – the debut LP from New Brunswick, NJ’s Erotic Novels – is out now! Shannon and Chris are two of our collective all time best band pals and we’re honored/stoked/hoked/etc to be partnering up with them for their debut full-length. Equal parts pop-punk and indie-rock, we do not exaggerate in any way when we say this record is… really, really good! The record (which we co-released with Weekend Quality) was recorded earlier this year at Volume IV with Chris Pierce and you can get it on vinyl and digital right here. The band has some killer shows coming up, including an NJ date October 6th with Weston, so stay tuned to their page for more updates. Let’s welcome them into the family!
