Full disclaimer: Under my Asplenia Studios hat I was commissioned to create the art, design, and layout for the album jacket, insert, and record labels. During the process of bringing the album to market, I have also provided advice and assistance on setting up merch, fulfillments, and the Big Cartel storefront.
Big Minnow Records and Put It Here Productions have announced a new Naked Raygun tribute album, Godspeed… A Tribute to Pierre Kezdy. Long-time NR bassist Pierre Kezdy (also of Pegboy and more) sadly passed away in Oct 2020 from cancer. This project was created to honor his contributions to the band, their music, and the music scene in general. Artists featured on the tribute include Face to Face, Hot Water Music, $wingin Utter$ and more. 100% of the proceeds after costs will go directly to Pierre’s family.
Along with the announcement, the first single “Got Hurt,” performed by Jawbox‘s J. Robbins has been released as a music video, premiered by the good people over at Riot Fest.
Check out that video below, and visit the Big Minnow Big Cartel site to preorder the vinyl, along with a range of merch (also to benefit Pierre’s family). Digital preorders are up over at Bandcamp.
the white drew carey (aka – Jeff Sorley) is the founder and head editor of TGEFM. He’s lived (outside of) Chicago, Madison WI, (ugh) Penn State, Lyon FR, Oxford UK, central New Jersey, and now within earshot of SFO in the Bay Area. When not scouring the web for more great bands and labels to post about, he also spends time drawing (mostly) silly sci-fi and anime stuff under the name Asplenia Studios.
