:: MORE :: Summer News!The Exotic Fever Records 25th Anniversary shows were an amazing joy and success! Thank you so much to Anarkuss, Kathy/Jen/Greg, Star Matriarch, Upholstery, War on Women, Erick Thomas Shelley. Speaking of 25 years, Shawna from War on Women followed up these shows by interviewing Katy for her podcast But Her Lyrics about the label, among other things. You can hear that podcast episode here. War on Women are also headed to Europe so don't miss them! Tour dates here. We have a lot of great 25th anniversary merch to offer. See the photo below! Postage included (in the U.S.) it’s $15 for a tote, $25 for a shirt (list your size), $10 for a gorgeous silver and black silk screened poster. Free poster with any purchase of $25 or over. PayPal to katyotto@gmail.com or Venmo @katy-otto-1. Any questions, just email katy@exoticfever.com. Proceeds from these sales are benefitting mutual aid funds in Gaza. Rounding it all out, we have new releases! Star Matriarch's Red Ship is finally out digitally in full! Stream or purchase it here. There are new releases from Anarkuss, Upholstery and Fine Motor to check out — link to each and don't sleep on these. Exotic Fever alums Pygmylush have a new album and have been playing some shows. Take a listen to this long awaited release. Physical lp pre orders seem out but you can listen online and stay tuned for future shows and pressings! We love this band! Our artist and friend Sbowe is up to fantastic stuff from her home base in Italy so make sure you are following her on Instagram. Exotic Fever artist Vidrozhena just played her first show ever and I had the honor of attending it! Check out this gorgeous layered and looped music here with cello, bowed bass, vocals — and more to come. At that show, we all also got to see a rare and utterly transporting performance by Exotic Fever artist A Stick and a Stone. This band has a new release out right now you have to check out, and if you are not familiar with the music, you need to be. Go take a listen. Several of our releases as you may notice are OOP. This is not a bad thing in our opinion, as you can find these releases digitally and often in resale. If you have questions about locating a release that is difficult to find please contact katy@exoticfever.com as some stock is also with distributors. As a label with over 80 releases we cannot feasibly keep every release in physical print but we do care about them all and will find ways to help you connect with the music you like! I am also trying — with varying degrees of success — to share some of the lore of the label with a series of TikTok videos on my own personal TikTok (search Katy Otto and you will find it) with stories slowly of each of the labels. I am out of my element but trying! Thanks to folks who have appreciated the effort — I will keep going slowly but surely. Finally, I have a new band that I have been working on for a long time that just played a first show and released a first song. We are called whitepicketfence and it is with my dear friend and childhood musical hero Chris Lauterbach, formerly of the DC band Your Majesty. You can listen to the first single "how" here — and stay tuned for more songs and shows!
