Hello and happy Winter Solstice! It's time for eggnog, holiday cheer, and this season's edition of the Slugg Records newsletter, of course, so let's get right to it!
|
|
Today, yes today, Sunday December 21st, join us on Bandcamp for back-to-back listening parties of Bipolar Explorer's two Christmas albums - 2014's BPXmas and immediately afterwards, 2018's Til Morning is Nigh. Sylvia and Michael will be on hand to chat, field questions, and share holiday greetings.

SLUGG RECORDS on Bandcamp |
|
Slugg Records has its own Bandcamp page. While Tremosphere and Bipolar Explorer will continue to release and share their respective catalogues on their own Bandcamp pages, the new Slugg Records page will offer special bundles and merch - including the new Bipolar Explorer t-shirt.
To celebrate its launching, Slugg Records its first audiobook - a recording of Michael's one act play REAL REAL GONE. More on that below.

On November 2nd, Slugg Records was proud to release its first audiobook - a recording of Michael's one-act play REAL REAL GONE, read by the author. Wait, we hear you say - Michael wrote a play?! Yes! Michael was a playwright for over a decade, his theater works published and produced in New York, London, San Francisco, Seattle, L.A., D.C., Boston and elsewhere - simultaneous to his work with his old band Uncle and the earliest years of Bipolar Explorer, itself. Indeed, it's how Summer and Michael met. REAL REAL GONE was first produced off-Broadway in New York in 1997 and in this version in Los Angeles in 2008. |

On November 13th, to honor Summer's birthday, Bipolar Explorer released the second video from Memories of the Sky. It's for Hold My Soul, and can be found on the Bipolar Explorer Youtube channel.

In the months ahead, we look forward to bringing you the new Bipolar Explorer album - the band's 13th - and much more. Thank you! Happy holidays to you and yours, and here's wishing you a lucky, prosperous 2026! |

Wear a mask, get your vaccines, be kind, stand up against fascism. We're in this together. Peace. |
