NOW AT WWW.NOFUNPRODUCTIONS.COM

2 new cds and 2 new lps:

NFP-26 Thurston Moore 'Sensitive/Lethal' CD
NFP-30 Religious Knives 'Resin' CD
NFP-21 Enema Syringe 'live at no fun fest 2007' lp - limited to 350.
NFP-22 Carlos Giffoni/Aaron Dilloway 'live at no fun fest 2007' split
LP- limited to 350.

we are also carrying on the distro items the new amazing CCCC cd
'Chaos is the Cosmos', as well as well as limited quantities of two
Carlos Giffoni releases: Opening The Gates LP (limtied to 300) and
Eternal Noise CD (limited to 500) both are analog synth electronic epics.

Burning Star Core 'Blood Lightning 2007'CD,Semgma/Giffoni/Metalux LP,
and the Mouthus 2x12" are now all sold out from us. And we only have a
handful of copies left of the limited Prurient cd+5",Religious Knives
CD and the Hive Mind and Consumer Electronics LP's.

here is some descriptions of our new releases:
NFP-26 Thurston Moore 'Sensitive/Lethal' CD
Sensitive/Lethal is Thurston Moore in deep basement cosmosis.
Investigations into acoustic guitar as noise instrument as well as
noise/amp discussion for a hopeful and bright blackness. Childhood
dreams of noise essayed with photos of unsuspecting innocents running
from noise weirdo (front cover) and texas blues albino drug zap
(johnny winter – still alive and well detail – back cover). This is
the story told in drone meditation and sweet slice.

NFP-30 Religious Knives 'Resin' CD
Since their first release for No Fun Productions, the collection of
early LP's/singles entitled 'Remains', the Religious Knives have grown
into a stunningly assured and powerful rock n' roll band of sorts, one
liberally and noticeably immersed in the smoke-addled haze of the
psychedelic underground. Resin marches ahead with a vigorous potency
that accurately shares its bloodline with the best psychedelic acts of
the past. This is Brooklyn's true Psychedelic Rock.

LPs:
NFP-21 Enema Syringe 'live at no fun fest 2007' lp - limited to 350.
Full no fun 2007 live set, recorded to the best possible quality.
Totally insane and heavy set from Industrial/Noise Swedish Pioneer's
Enema Syringe.

NFP-22 Carlos Giffoni/Aaron Dilloway 'live at no fun fest 2007' split
lp. limited to 350.Full no fun 2007 live sets, from Giffoni and
Dilloway recorded to the best possible quality.Total tape mangling,
and Analog Synth destruction.

No Fun Fest:

Tickets are moving quickly, only a few 3 day passes left and single
day tickets moving fast specially for Saturday...

Hotel info coming in a week or two along with some new information.

DJs for each night have now been announced on the fest page.

Ning Nong, Howard Stelzer,Pieter S.(Wierd Records), C.G. Warrior, Kai
Parviainen(Enema Syringe),Tommi of Finland will all be Djing.

deatails at www.nofunfest.com check it out!

one last big change on the lineup and a few small ones:
Hair Police will be now playing saturday night downstairs, towards the
en dof th enight. Ahlzagailzehguh will now be playing on sunday night,
and Joseph H. and Rick Pots are not goign to be able to do solo sets
on sunday night's second stage due toa scheduling conflict. However
the Dinosaurs With Horns set on main stage friday night is still very
much on!

Tickets are moving fast.... specially the 3 day pass and the saturday
single day, we recommend you purchase your tickets this week if you
haven't done so yet, as the festival date gets closer there should be
a substantial amount of local press showing up about it and we expect
whatever tickets are left then to fly out.

now some hotel recommendations if you still haven't taken care of that:

your best cheap option is the days inn in brooklyn, which is

Days Inn Brooklyn
437 39th Street
Brooklyn, NY 11232
800-916-4635

is only a few blocks from the yellow line (r/n/q/w) which will take
you to the canal st. stop in Manhattan which is only a few blocks away
from the venue.

there are also lots of hostels/shared bathroom hotels in the city that
are in expensive that should be able to find in a search on any of the
major travel sites.

now if money is not a problem for you we suggest any of the following
which are all relatively close to the venue but are really pricey that
weekend:

Sohotel
1-800-737-0702
341 Broome St
http://www.sohotel-ny.com/

Holiday Inn
212.966.8898
138 Lafayette St

Cosmopolitan
212-566-1900

Off-Soho Suites 212.353.0860

Carlton Arms 212.532-4100

Skyline Hotel - 49th & 10th - 212.586-3400 (

Hotel Deauville
103 East 29th St
212.683.0990
800.333.8843
http://www.hoteldeauville.com

The closest and by far the nicest hotel is the Tribeca Grand or Soho
Grand, but they are really pricey:

http://www.tribecagrand.com/
less than 5 mins walking from the club

http://www.sohogrand.com/

SEE YOU ALL NEXT MONTH!
----------------------------------------------------------

Visit www.nofunproductions.com to get the altest no fun productions
releases. Giffoni/Dilloway Split LP and the Enema Syringe LP are
almost gone!

Thurston Moore 'Sensitive/Lethal' CD and Religious Knives 'Resin' CD
are piling up critical acclaim and you should get them both if you
haven't yet, we are super excited and proud of how great they came out.

Finally if you are searching for some of the out of print releases on
the label we recommend you take a look at Fusetron: fusetronsound.com
as they have copies of a lot of the LP's that are sold out from US.
Including the Pita LP, the John Wiese LP, and the
Smegma/Giffoni/Metalux Collaboration among others....

Only 2 more days and no fun fest 2008 is here. Saturday is completely
sold out. the remainder tickets for both Friday and Sunday are moving
fast as well, if there are any left they will be available at the door
each day.

be there before door times if you don't want to miss anything, we are
expecting tons of people and some lines to get in at the beginning. +
first band on stage too goes on only a few minutes after doors open

one thing you should check out if you are coming:

Noise/art show Curated by Thurston Moore at KS ART gallery (across the
street from knitting factory)

This a show of visual art (drawings/posters/etc) by noise artist.Lots
of them with ties to the fest and the no fun productions label.

The show opens Friday evening, and the gallery is open all day
Saturday (official hours are from noon to 6)

there will Also be music from aprox 4 to 7 on friday and saturday (4
to 6:30 sun) at the gallery, so great thing to catch right before the
fest starts if you have the extra time.

bands playing:
dead machines
northampton wools
paul flaherty + zac davis duo
marci bassett
oshea/moloney duo
uneven universe
+ maybe 1 or 2 more....

see you this weekend.

HEY!

VERY IMPORTANT - the ticket structure for No Fun Fest was made out so that the club isn't OVERSOLD on ANY night. There was a limited amount of tickets available for both 3-day passes and individual days. No Fun Fest required this of the Knit. I know, because I booked the dang show myself!

So we're hoping everyone can move around easily, from the different floors and not be too crammed in. Might be full when Cluster is on, or any of the 'headliner' acts but we aren't selling as many tickets as we normally do, for
this purpose specifically!!! WHICH IS A GOOD THING!

Friday is almost Sold Out (30 tix left) - that is the night Thurston is playing,
there are still a good amount of tix left for Lee's night (SUN) and SAT is definitely sold out - although there may be a couple tickets left at Academy Records in either Brooklyn or the East Village. Might wanna call ahead!

Again - this is ALL AGES too.

There will be cards and posters w/ ALL the SET TIMES and schedules.
I might post it up here for your reference too.

Thanks, hope to see all of you guys there. I have a long beard and long
hair. Like 80% of the people who will be in attendance.

Hey respect, man, that you guys even considered this an issue.

I just wanted to mention a couple events that might be of interest to visitors - the only street fair in Manhattan that holds much interest to me happens this weekend on 7th between 3rd and 2nd, its the Ukranian Streetfair and features lots of delicious perogies and keilbasa etc and if you get a chance to see the kids dancing in their costumes its something
- Metropolitain Postcard Club has their spring show Fri - Sun at the New Yorker Hotel on 34th St at 8th Ave, if you have any interest in collecting old postcards you won't want to miss this, I'm a member so I'll be there Saturday, unless I'm still tripping from Fri nite from all the aerosol lysergix
