Fat Elvis Records

So yeah, I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel regarding my label, Fat Elvis Records. FER-001 will be from the Nashville based band Blackfoot Gypsies. It's a 7" called The New Sounds of TransWestern. The A-side is a song called "Wasting Time" and the B-Side is called "Don't Want to See Your Face". There will be 300 copies pressed. 175 on red vinyl, 175 on blue vinyl, and 50 special edition ones. I just got the test pressings in, and they sound quite good. I'm exicited to finally get this thing off the ground.

I will be doing a presale for the 7" soon, and a twitter/Facebook contest to win one of the five test pressings.

More info on presale and release date to be released soon. You can keep up with the latest news and such at the following URLS

Thank You!

And thanks to all who have entered so far. If you really want to help me and the band out, feel free to retweet that as many times as you want! I really do appreciate it!

Facebook contest to follow soon!

I'm really counting on social media to help me sell out of these 300 records as quick as possible. I can use all the help I can get!
