RISC Store Sale

Ian — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 21:02:28 +0000

The RISC Store is currently having an “economic stimulus sale”, where everything is reduced by 10%. The items are still listed at their normal prices and the discount is only applied after you add them to your cart. So head over there and pick up any CDs you don’t already have, or perhaps treat yourself to a nice print or a hoodie for the cold weather (unless you’re in the southern hemisphere, in which case you’ll probably just want a t-shirt).

As of today you can get Dan Potthast’s first album on Pentimento Music, Eat the Planet, from the RISC Store, as well as a “Dan Who?” t-shirt. Streetlight Manifesto’s Somewhere in the Between has also finally been added.

Streetlight Announce Mega-Tour

Ian — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 21:44:44 +0000

Well Streetlight managed to keep their promise and have updated their site today, twice in fact, with news of an upcoming mega-tour, entitled “4 Out of 7 in 3 Before 9″ (4 out of 7 continents in 3 months before 2009). The first leg starts October 8th in New York and ends on the 19th in California and features The Swellers and The AKA’s. The second and third legs are the previously posted Australian and Japanese tours and the final leg arrives in Southampton, England on 1st December and runs until the 13th with support from Random Hand and Dan Potthast. All the currently announced dates are, of course, on the shows page as usual.

For those of you not being graced by SM’s presence they assure you that come 2009 they will be hitting the road again in January & February to take care of any missed US states, before heading over to mainland Europe (and hint at yet more after that).

Streetlight to Tour Australia and Japan

Ian — Wed, 28 May 2008 13:02:33 +0000

The Streetlight Manifesto site was recently updated to announce that they are to be touring Australia and Japan later this year. This will be their first headlining tour of Australia and the first time they have visited Japan. The Australian tour will take place between 30th October and 4th November (the dates can be found on the shows page) with support from The Resignators and Dan Potthast, while the Japanese tour will commence on the 7th and run to the 15th of November, also supported Dan Potthast and with venues and further support to be announced.

They end the update with a claim that the recently revealed Team Streetlight should be next in line to receive some attention.

Also while Victory has indeed released some “information” regarding future Streetlight activities, I think we all know by now how much credence it should be given.

Dates for Streetlight’s Next US Tour Announced

Ian — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 22:27:55 +0000

The dates for Streetlight Manifesto’s next North American tour were posted on their PureVolume page a few days ago but they have just appeared on the official site and I’ve also finally added then to the shows page. The tour runs from 29th March to 8th May, features support from ZOX and Dan Potthast and hits Canada for 3 dates.

RISC to release Dan Potthast album after all?

Ian — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 00:46:39 +0000

After Ska is Dead.com announced and then retracted that Dan Potthast’s next solo album would be released on the RISC Group it would appear there has been some confirmation as the RISC store has added several new categories in the past 24 hours, one of which is called Dan Potthast. The category is currently empty but presumably you will be able to purchase the album and maybe other merchandise from there in the future.

RISC Group to release Dan Potthast album?

Ian — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 17:24:16 +0000

Dan Potthast, the MU330 frontman, is recording his third solo album and according to Ska is Dead.com [It] will be all ska based and recorded by Tomas Kalnoky( Streetlight Manifesto). Tomas is also planning on releasing it on his new label. which presumably refers to the RISC Group.

Update: It appears Ska is Dead.com have pulled the interesting part of the story (though they have failed to state why or even acknowledge that they have done so) so presumably this info is false.
