Absolutely Kosher Host Record Fair!
June 21, 2010


Because so few local events allow for record labels to interact with the music fans in the Bay Area, so we have decided to set one up ourselves. For a couple of hours on a late Sunday morning, over a dozen Bay Area rock/punk/noise/metal/indie labels are bringing music and merchandise to the Absolutely Kosher offices in Emeryville to hang out, meet the public and promote and sell our wares at discounted, wholesale and blowout prices. We'll have bagels and beverages for sale and people are welcome to play pool on our newly donated pool table, listen to some great music and hangout. This is a way for the public to meet the hard-working people around the Bay who struggle to find and invest in great music for your enrichment and enjoyment. It's also a rare opportunity for us to meet and talk with the music loving community in a low-key environment. We hope you can help spread the word, and stop by yourself to check out what’s going on with the Bay Area labels. For more info and directions click here!

Frog Eyes have a new record...on a new label
February 02, 2010
Yes, the news broke today, though we've known about this for nearly a year now. It's always a bag of mixed emotions when one of our artists leaves us to work with someone else, but we wish it could always happen with the dignity and class that Frog Eyes have shown. We contracted them for two albums way back in 2003 (or was it '04) and we were fortunate enough to release five amazing albums and a single together. It's easy to assume the worst in these situations, but we are extraordinarily proud of the work we've done together and wish the band nothing but the best.
