Asthmatic Kitty Records---home of Castanets, Half-Handed Cloud and My Brightest Diamond and many others--- has beefed up its roster of artists. Seven new artists were recently signed to the label. These talented folks are Ermasse Zopoula, DM Stith, Welcome Wagon, I Heart Lung, Shannon Stephens, Osso, and illustrator Laura Park. A free sampler of songs and art are available via download at www.asthmatickitty.com Fans of Castanets and/or experimental music video art will want to check out a screening of "Tendrils", a film which included "video covers" of Castanets songs. That is happening at 8pm on May 17th at Big Car Gallery with live music from Grampall Jookabox and DJ sets by Actuel. www.bigcar.org
