On OCTOBER 25th, Fire Records will launch the release of the new record “Blurry Blue Mountain” and begin  a year long release of 30+ records from our back catalog of Giant Sand, Howe Gelb, Arizona Amp & Alternator and The Band Of Blacky Ranchette.     These releases will include bonus tracks and remastering both on vinyl and cd.  The first record from this collection will be “Valley Of Rain’.

Check out  Giant Sand and Howe Gelb  shows around the UK & Europe in October, November and December.  These include two rare performances in Spain with Howe Gelb and A Band of Gypsies and a rare Giant Sand show in London at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in the Southbank on November 4th to celebrate this launch (followed by a solo performance at Cafe Oto on the 6th).  You can find all these under our shows listing with ticket links.

Back at Scatterland, we’ve been  cleaning out the boxes and dusting down the old torn and tattered files while we work on a collectors limited edition item that we hope to have ready for your yule tide giving.

25 Years And Them Some…. a retrospective image book highlighting the journey and photographs of Giant Sand and friends.   With views, comments and stories, this is a collectors book that will contain a unique journey we want to share in celebrating the 25 year mark.

If you haven’t heard Howe Gelb & A Band of Gypsies “Alegrias” you can now check out tracks here.   Buy digital download of this record.   We are looking to have both CD and vinyl available soon in the US.
