Nigel Headed To Austin!

Nigel playing Speakertree, 02.28.2020

A year after dropping HSAL #48 (a cosmically stellar 12″ EP co-released with Charlottesville’s Infinite Repeats), Parker and the Good Dog Nigel gang are still going strong. After being accepted into the offical roster for this year’s South By Southwest festival, the band began erecting a tour itinerary to get them from Virginia to Texas. Here are the confirmed dates as of now:

Well wishes and positive vibes as you represent the Ol’ Dominion, boys!

INVENTORY ALERT! We are nearly out of Nigel’s vinyl debut (less than 10 copies in stock). If you haven’t scored a copy yet, better jump on it now. Never know how a killer band can absolutely blow up after spending a week at SXSW…

Thanks, Folks!

We’re only days away from the end of the decade! It’s been a complete BLAST working with so many talented folks thus far. We are especially thankful for what 2019 brought our way:

  • EP’s from Good Dog Nigel and You’re Jovian
  • Full lengths from Andres Momentomori and L.A. Dies
  • A double CD from Oahu
  • A completely killer ten-year anniversary party at the Academy Center featuring friends old and new

We threw together this Spotify playlist as a “debrief” for all that action that we were a part of this year. Also included are some choice sounds that the Commonwealth birthed over the past twelve months. Some of these are as-of-yet unsigned acts (Emily Brophy) while others are between labels (Big Baby, KEEP, Opin). Then there is the latest single from our good buds DEMONS for good measure…

Here’s to a new year, a new decade, and a new chapter in the HSAL story!

OUR NEW LOOK!

As we come to the end of our first decade as a label, we thought it prudent to cook up a new look. The site will work the same way as before. We’ll do our darnedest to keep you up to speed with the comings & goings of our roster.

Speaking of the goings on, you HAVE TO KNOW that we are throwing a huge party in our home town next month to celebrate TEN YEARS STRONG! We have assigned catalog number 50 to this event. We also invited a killer lineup to commemorate this milestone. It’s a total friends (Young Scum, Nickelus F, Toan Team & Sound Of Ceres) & family (Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon, Opin, TLVS, Good Dog Nigel & L.A. Dies) affair! Oh yeah – YOU’RE INVITED! Tickets are available now. Hope to see you there…
