Hi all!
Welcome to the first ever Berkeley Cat Records mewsletter.
Let’s get right to the music, shall we?
The Russ Ellis CD is HERE! Yes an actual CD, available thru our beloved Bandcamp. If you haven’t followed this inspiring story, here’s a New York Times article, and a KQED Forum piece, about Mr. Ellis and how he came to release his first album at the sprightly young age of 86. Songs From The Garden is still available to play online or download, and now you may order a physical CD in a beautiful package designed by Katie Hawkinson. Until we run out!
New single coming soon from Matte Plastic! WHO is Matte Plastic, you reasonably ask? Why, Matte Plastic is Paul Jackson, Charles Stella, and myself! These gents are also founding members of the Uptones (do you sense a theme, here?) and we made a cool new track recently, and it will be available on January 1, 2022. The song is called New Threads, which seems very new-year fresh-start freshy fresh so of course, Jan 1. Spotify users may pre-save it here.
We have Podcats! Yes I spelled it right. Give ‘er a listen any ol’ time, it’s fun.
That’s really all! We’re from Berkeley. We are cats. We make records.
Wishing you all a fabulous and safe and healthy and joyful season,
Til next time,
Eric Din
