The Pelican’s Perch

…aka why Kevin’s been slacking severely on new Perch content.  Alright, where to even begin?

Let’s start there.  You remember Lemondrop Records right?  The record label Chuck and I started two years ago and had pretty good success getting local bands out to our Springfield community.  But with two guys, you can only really do so [...]

I’m back!  I didn’t realize how much I truly enjoyed writing this blog until I was without it for a good two weeks.  But fear not, a whole bunch of trial and error on my part led to the site getting even more screwed up, then eventually I figured it all out and got it [...]

For those of you that may have not been paying attention this last year, I have a record label I started with my friend Charlie called LemonDrop Records.  We’re oh so close to having the online store finished and up and running, then things will really take off.  But for now, we’re pumping out our [...]

I’m a workin’ man.  I’ll be out of town for work until Wednesday.  Just giving you a heads up.
Some LemonDrop news for ya:
March 21st – Jimmy Spits‘ new album Leaps and Bounds is released

April 29th – The Verbs‘ debut self-titled album is released (date of their cd release show at least)

And if you’re confused by [...]

Our flagship band has finished recording their debut album and I couldn’t be more excited to get it mastered, on the site for all of you to download, and start promoting it all over the net.  We don’t have a release date just yet, but it’ll be soon.  For now, check out our latest Dropcast, [...]

The label’s about to really take off, with the Verbs and Spacetones albums both getting close to being done. We’ll have huge CD release parties for both. We also had our big hip hop party last Saturday night that went really well. You can check out pictures here. The first half [...]

Instead of showcasing our bands again, we wanted to do something more fun. Since we’ve got two DJ’s doing their own stuff for our label, The Spacetones being our flagship hip-hop band, and have been in talks with Jimmy Spits to have him MC for us for quite some time, we figured a hip-hop [...]

It seems like every 10 days or so I’m apologizing for not posting enough due to me being super busy. Setting up your own record label will do that to you. So, today’s another one of those days. Head over to the LemonDrop blog and see a picture of our sweet new [...]

You probably expected bad news in this post with a title like this, but I was just sad I couldn’t post the last part of my week long list until tomorrow.  I really thought I’d get it all in, but I guess not.  Why?  Well, today was a ridiculously good day for LemonDrop progress, as [...]
