FAKE ESCAPE FEST was an absolute blast! BIG thanks to all the bands who performed, you are all the more dear to me now that we have actually met and kinda hung out. I was mainly running around trying to keep it rollin’ along with some unforeseen time constraints. Also, BIG thanks to all the Spokane cats who came out to the fest! Its the first of many events on my quest to help foster a thriving music scene in Spokane. The fest had a ridiculous merch table, (pictured below, both shots taken by one of my two roommates Jordan).

One of the finest I have ever seen. So many goodies. Wild Animal Kingdom stuff, Stuff from the bands, Travis’ Seattle scene stuff, LNA stuff. Overwhelming.

I made up LNA package deals for the fest and I still have some left, so I’m turning it into a CHRISTMAS SPECIAL. Perfect for the music//dead format nerd on your list. Or perfect for yourself. You get The nearly out of print Forest Swords, Pure Ecstasy, & Yarn Owl tapes as well as the Cat Killer, pə-ˈrād, Matthew Melton, and Secret Colors tapes. 7 tapes plus a hand screened LNA punk rock patch all strung together with jute twine for only $28! Saves you 14 whole bucks! Hot damn its high time you got some tapes. Check out the specials page for the deal!

I’m going on a study abroad (Beer Abroad) trip to the UK in January/Early Feb. and since LNA is a one man show there will be a couple months where you won’t be able to get your hands on LNA tapes & distro treats. There will be two new releases before I leave, the much anticipated tape from Campfires as well as a tape from Legionnaires. I will be halting orders in a week or so, so if you want something nows the time! I will be releasing the new tapes from CA while on break so those will become available in 2 weeks or so for a limited time until I leave. When I get back, LNA will be going full force! New tapes, vinyls (ah!), and of course tons of sweet distro adds.

Fondly,

LNA//Alex
