Happy Holidays From In The Fridge Records!!

Hot dog, it's almost 2009! We here at In The Fridge are currently busy with all sorts of nonsense during this holiday season, some of which actually involves music. In particular, recording for the full-length debut by The Weakness has been started and completed this week. Thirteen whole songs, bub! A "release" date has yet to be worked out, but the thing is seriously gorgeous. Check out this page or something to hear some older Weakness songs.

Stay tuned for the next edition of our once-every-second-monday Leftovers Club digital 7" on January 12! December's edition, the It's Elementary 7", can be downloaded here.

For a bit of a holiday treat, Cosmetics uploaded a cover of the Fiery Furnaces song "Bright Blue Tie" to their myspace page. How bout that?!

And of course of course of course the two EP's released earlier this year are available to take for no money straight from the internet!

You've Been Warned or, Who Says We Need a Graphic Designer?

Many thanks to Katherine for this marvelous and perfectly suited image.
Watch out- so we don't eat your records.

... My Dear Watson

Here is the first digital 7" from In The Fridge Records. It is a collection of punk and pop punk tunes by bands of varying degrees of reality.
Enjoy!!!

Plaid Is My Power Color

Don't say we never gave you anything...
Since we uploaded the Cosmetics EP it seemed only fair we should make the Elegant Bachelors EP available for a little while.

In other news, in the coming weeks we are hopefully going to get a monthly digital 7" thing going on. That means, once a month we will post a free digital "7 inch" with two new songs on to this blog. Now, we must make it clear that we do understand that since these will be online entities they aren't actually 7 inches in size, but 7 inch sounds a lot cooler than "2 free songs."

Here's to smooth sailing!

There Is a Lawsuit Afoot

A New Artist to the Refrigerated Roster

Ladies and gentleman gather 'round and welcome The Weakness to In The Fridge Records. The Weakness play a marvelous take on pop rock influenced by the likes of Pavement, Weezer, and the Pixies. Check them out here. Let me tell you, I am very excited.

Room EP

Finally a release!!!!
On Friday September 12th, for your listening pleasure, The Elegant Bachelors will make their Room EP available to the world at large for a meager two dollars.
Contact us at through any means possible if you would like to maintain a copy, our email is inthefridgerecords@gmail.com and we have a myspace page at www.myspace.com/inthefridgerecords (evidently we are not terribly creative when it comes to naming things).

A Stupid Little Present

So from what we have gathered through our extensive research is that record labels like to record songs, and sometimes they like to have other people listen to them.
In that spirit we have pulled together a cute little cover of a cute little song you have probably heard.
It will never be available for sale as we are certain that would lead to a legal quagmire and we at In the Fridge Records do our absolute best to avoid anything that sounds so scary.
In other news The Elegant Bachelors EP Room With a View is very nearly finished and will be available on September 12th for the low low price of just two dollars.
Thomas S is still slaving away at his release- expect great things from that one.

As promised, here is the download link for our little ditty:

If you don't have anything else to do...

Sunday, August 31st, 3pm, Eigenmann Dorm (on the IU Bloomington Campus, around Rose and 10th)
The Elegant Bachelors and Eric Radoux
best of all...
This show is absolutely free! Of course this means you have absolutely no excuse to miss this performance.
So don't.

I smell pancakes, but I can't find them...

Alright Alright Alright

We are In The Fridge Records, a magical amalgamation consisting of one part Michael Squeri, one part Taylor Peters, and many parts music. Michael Squeri comes Cincinnati, Ohio and Taylor comes from Greenwood, Indiana. Both now reside in sunny Bloomington, Indiana and comprise two thirds of the Bloomington band The Elegant Bachelors.

We have decided to start with modest goals and move forward. Firstly, we will release the Room With a View EP by The Elegant Bachelors (www.myspace.com/theelegantbachelors , available in Mid-September). After this we'll release The Savvy American EP by Thomas S, Michael Squeri's recording project (www.myspace.com/michaelthomassqueri , available by early October).
From there we will release compilations, host parties and shows, and continue our search for music that we enjoy.

We're currently looking for local talent, loud bands, quiet bands, singer-songwriters, punk bands, jazz bands, pretty much anything. We aren't limiting our releases to any particular genres, and we listen to pretty much everything. If you'd be interested in working with a locally focused, small-scale record label, drop us a line at inthefridgerecords@gmail.com.

More details on releases and shows will surely come soon.
Best,
ITF
