'Till next year!
This has been a very wonderful year for weePOP! Thank you so much to all of you who made it this way - bands, friends, and everyone who supports the label.
There's lots more planned for the coming months!!
I think there's nothing better to start a brand new year well than a good new set of songs in my headphones, so the first release in 2009 will be our second weepop-up compilation: Starting Anew - all themed around new beginnings, featuring songs by 7 amazing bands, packed in a pop-up sleeve, and out before you can even catch your breath after the new year's celebrations.
All the bands in the compilation are new to the label: Amida, Horowitz, Stars of aviation, Moustache of insanity, Electrophonvintage, The diskettes and Very truly yours.
"Starting Anew" will be finished and ready to be shipped first thing in the new year, and is available to pre-order on the release page.
But for now, I'm having a little break and going away for christmas, so any new orders placed this week won't be posted straight away, but rest assured your weepop parcels will be on their way to you as soon as I return.
Once again, thanks for all your support throught out this year,
Happy holidays, everyone!

December already!
Wooah, It's December already!
The endless bummer ep is out now, all the pre-orders have been sent out on monday (thank you to everyone who ordered it), and I have a nice pile of them all finished and ready to go. If can get a copy on the release page.
The ep will also be available on cassette from Lost Sound Tapes over in the US. In a world where not even mixtapes come in tapes anymore, this trully is a little treasure. Check their website for this and some other great stuff they've released.
There are all sorts of end-of-the-year festivities going around:
Allo, Darlin' goes on a mini tour starting with Edinburgh on Friday, and then Newcastle, Manchester and ending with London on Tuesday. They'll also have a lovely christmas ep out this friday, it has five brand new songs, and from what i heard already, it's going to be awesome. You can it directly from the band on their myspace.
The Mexican kids at home have a special treat up their sleeves too, I don't want to spoil any surprises, but think lots of really good bands and lots of cowbells!
All orders during December will come with candy canes and little special treats! If you'd like to order something as a gift, we can write a personal message from you, and gift wrap everything! Just drop us a note with your order.
Keep warm! xx

November news!
Little My played the last gig of their week long tour last night in London, and i must say they've become so tight and confident in their playing, a sheer delight to behold the 8 smiling faces inside their animal masks and suits, joyously thumping and playing everything in sight!
They have some super cute merch (tshirts, handmade tote bags, and even some "little my people") left from the tour, so if you're looking for end-of-the-year-gift ideas, have a look at little my.org.
The end of the year is fast approaching, but we still have a couple of exciting things planned for you:
Out next weekend and available to pre-order now is Donald Fagen mix tape, by The Endless Bummer.
They produce brilliant freeform pop, surreal and dreamy songs combining elements of 50s doo-wop, lo-fi wheezy organs, percussive skiffle, and three person vocal harmonies with bubblegum lyrics thrown together with fragments of pop-cultural reference, first person narratives and tales of lost love. The band are a Kip, Natalie and David, based out of San Diego, and the sun shines through in these four songs of laid back Californian daydreams!
And coming very soon after, a lovely three tracker from Glasgow's awesome crooning The Felt Tips!
Allo, Darling goes on the road for a mini tour of four dates round the UK. Elisabeth has just returned from a long trip in Australia where she had been working away on lots of new songs, including a 4 track christmas ep, which she'll take on tour with her, and will also be available on allo darlin's myspace.
From the plans we hear being made, these shows will be a whole lot of fun, don't miss them if you can:
05/12 - At the bowery in Edinburgh (with Meursault) Roxburgh Place, EH8 8EB
07/12 - At tyne bar, Newcastle. Quayside, Newcastle, ne6
08/12 - At Fuel, Manchester (with Nat Johnson from MSTU)
09/12 - At the Wilmington Arms, London (with moustache of insanity)
Thanks, take care!
