5/16/12 - FFUUUCKKKK! RVIVR got robbed!!!!

A frustrating fucking thing happened last night:

Someone came in through the backdoor of PUNKALL (our home in Olympia) and stole a bunch of stuff including Erica’s backpack which had the ENTIRE band fund that we’ve been saving from the past year of touring, about $2000 in cash.

So this is a stretch, but better than nothing: The back pack is small, brown (filson fabric), RELoad brand bag with straps (not a messenger bag). It had a journal (with lots of lyrics for the new record!!), yellow knock off rayban styled sunglasses, a hand sewn wallet and a bunch of other non-valuable but important things.Well, and the band fund which was both valuable AND important.

A small red backpack, a red charvel strat style guitar and a checkered backpack were also stolen.

If you’ve got any leads or want to help please email us – rvivr@rumbletowne.com

We don’t want to involve the cops, just to get our stuff back. Thanks.
4/27/12 - CeCe McDonald

Hey!

This woman needs attention, intention and advocacy aimed in her direction.

Please read about her situation and know that this is NOT RARE:

Transwomen (especially Transwomen of Color!) experience some of the nastiest marginalization in our USA culture. CeCe’s fate is in the hands of an ignorant, repressive judicial system and the more attention she gets, the BETTER.

CeCe McDonald (who is a transwoman of color) is facing murder charges for her act of self-defense, with a pair of sewing scissors, against a group of white men who used racial/homophobic slurs and then physically attacked her.
This case has gotten SOME media attention, but NOT ENOUGH.

Her trial begins next week.

20 minute program about the existence of our Transgender population, Trans politics today, and what it means to live outside the binaries of ‘F’ & ‘M’ in a culture that’s not yet acknowledging gender variance:

8/3/11 - Updates GALORE

Well just when you thought we'd fallen off the face of the earth:

- RVIVR is touring US/Europe this Fall and has a kickstarter to help fund the airfare across the sea. Also, we're currently recording a two song 7" to be released on YoYo Records (yoyorecords.de) for the tour. At least go watch the movie that Kevin Rainsberry made... and there's some special incentives including colored vinyl- http://kck.st/o0bdVw
Check out the tour dates as they become solid: www.rvivr.wordpress.com

- Upcoming Releases!
Full Length LPs by Agatha & Sharkpact
We also repressed 500 more RVIVR s/t LPs, this time with jackets printed by Righteous Indignation out of Long Island (http://www.righteousindignationli.com/) which may seem boring to y'all since they're not handmade but we are SERIOUSLY excited not to labor over the Vandercook... yessssssssssss

There's also a rumor about a Lightnin Round LP of the compiled recordings from the past four years... we'll believe it when we see it

Well, fuck!
Peace out!
6/28/11 - back in business

Hey Peops:
So, back from a seriously cool tour with RVIVR and trying to get RTR back in order some things have come to my attention:
Some of your orders got confused in our chaos before leaving and so this is a shout out:
IF YOU ORDERED A JOESTER SESSION RECORD (or any record) OVER A MONTH AGO YOU SHOULD HAVE IT BY NOW!!
If you're still waiting PLEASE send us an email (punks at rumbletowne.com) letting us know your situation and we'll figure it out asap. We are just not so organized over here but we TRY.

In other news:
- We DON'T have t-shirts for sale via this website, there will usually be some at shows though so that's your best bet. (And No Idea has had some RVIVR t-shirts in the past, they may still)
- We have some new records cooking

Thank you to all the amazing, intelligent, thoughtful people who put RVIVR up, booked us shows in good-feeling spaces, talked to us about real shit, challenged us and made us remember how music is a super-powerful way to connect with each other and know ourselves better. Fuck yes!

Peace out!
Send us letters!
X
4/13/11 - HEADS UP! Joester Sessions Pre-orders! Tomorrow!

Yo People!

So Matt & I are leaving on tour Friday and the pre-orders WILL ship before we drive our asses out of Olympia. This also means that if we haven't received yours yet... well you'll have to wait til we return on May 1st.
We are accepting last minute paypal orders if you wish:
$13 - US
$15 - Canada
$20 - UK/Australia
(elsewhere, please email and we'll try to negotiate it before we go)

you can pay us at thanks@rumbletowne.com and PLEASE include all relevant order info as a note on your payment.
peace out and see you in the fuckin pit!!!!!
3/31/11 - Shirts Finally In!

YO! We finally got our shirts.
Our friend Cinder at Defiance Screenprinting did a fucking pristine job on them (www.defiancescreenprinting.com). They are sweat free, non-american apparel, union made, brightly colored, soft and punk as motherfuck! Ok, so order away and email us with any questions.
3/2/11 - RVIVR is looking for a new BASS PLAYER!!!

RVIVR wants a Woman who:

- Likes/loves RVIVR
- Lives in or will move to Olympia
- Can play bass or guitar and/or is willing to learn how to play tight and fast
- Wants to be in a band that practices regularly and will go on several tours a year of varying length

please send an email to RVIVR@rumbletowne.com if yer interested
yo xo
1/30/11 - Shirts, PAYPAL and Refiltered

Three New Things on the HORIZON:
1. We have put in an order for RVIVR t-shirts.
There will be colors. There will be sizes. They will be available for order from this website.
We're starting with the tried and true Lungs design that many of you know already and we've got a new design up our sleeves as well.
As before: printed by Defiance Screenprinting on sweat-free shirts (http://defiancescreenprinting.com/)

2. Our friend Dave who runs If You Make it (http://www.ifyoumakeit.com/) just created a database that links to five labels that do free/donation downloads of their releases, including ours: http://refiltered.org/
For now it will just lead you back to this page, it's going to be rad once it's finished!

3. We decided that we're going to start accepting PayPal for orders in the U$A.
It'll take a few weeks to build the shopping cart thing that'll measure out postage etc, but it's coming and we're into it.

We still will be happier when people take the time to write a little note and order with sneaky cash.
And the argument against relying solely on credit/debit as a means for exchange still stands:
Every time any of us use our credit/debit card those companies get a slice, a percentage, a fee and we forget how to function without them. At this point we've decided that we'd rather remember that for ourselves, write it up here on the website and in interviews as often as we can AND make our records available more easily to whoever wants to order them.
Please write us with comments or questions, hey write us in a damn letter ok?
Support your local Post Office people! It's a dying resource!

Ok? Ok!
peace and elbow grease, fuckers!

Also, the Pipsqueak "Fowl Hymns" LP is in the works, long overdue and really amazing.

so it goes.

RVIVR started a site where you can check out upcoming shows, tour dates, whatever:
RVIVR.wordpress.com
so check that out if it's interesting to you.

Cool. See you in the future. x
2/5/10 - 1/24/2010

hey happy new year.

Agatha (Seattle) just recorded their 7" with the Joester.
They're closing in on the final mix and hope to tour with it in late March.
A 4 song EP of rough, tough 90's sounding punk rock, soo good.

And we're deep into the RVIVR LP recording.
Almost done with the basic tracking and Phil Douglas from Long Island is occupying our control room making magic and drinking keystone tea. It's gonna be SICK!

Also, we've got our dear friend C-Nel on the task of a new website, so get ready for this shit to be easier and more accessible, (let alone more handsome), in the near future.

Besides all that, our mailorder is kicking, so order up!
Also, if you run a small (or any size) distro or record shop and want to order wholesale from us, we do that, too. And thanks to all you folks who keep offering up places for RVIVR to play on the East Coast.
We're really excited to get out there and are going to start booking tour really soon.
yeah! - erica
2/5/10 - 12/1/2009

Alright, look, we just got back from tour and it was rad.
Thank you to everyone who booked us a good show and made sure we had food to eat.
Also thank you to our van, the Red Van, for running so damn well.

We've got some news:
- Mutoid World is ready to go, order away!
$12 ppd in a beautiful full-color gatefold designed by Bubz. Check out the art on the releases page.
Dang! This shit's hot!

- RVIVR's Life Moves 7" is SOLD THE FUCK OUT!!
It's actually kind of a bummer... No Idea (www.noidearecords.com) still has them if you're looking.

- Actually, all our releases are available at No Idea which can be helpful if you need to pay with a card over the internet (i.e. from outside the U.S. or if you're scared of waiting for our turnaround time and don't want a personally wrapped package direct from our living room...)

- You wanna buy a RVIVR T-Shirt? Well we got them!
We're going to put up pictures, but in the meantime...
$15 ppd - "RVIVR" screened above an image of lungs in bold white.
We've got Youth Large, Small, Large and Extra Large on sweatshop-free black t-shirts.
We'll throw in a patch for free.
2/5/10 - 10/30/09

1. Check out the updated RVIVR tour dates below.
2. There has been an art delay for MUTOID WORLD. So it goes: All pre-orders will be sent out at the end of November. BUT! Pre-release special spray-painted versions of MUTOID WORLD will be available on RVIVR's upcoming west coast tour.
3. Check out the Chin up Meriwether! song on the releases page.

Chin Up, Meriwether!
Fruition LP

This power trio has been making energetic, inspiring music for years. They're tight, technical and get stuck in your head. The name is a nod to Meriwether Lewis' closeted desire for Clark, his partner in trailblazing.

Shorebirds
LP
12 tracks
The Boydz. R.I.P. The long awaited full length, post-mortem. 12 solid songs recorded by the wonderful Phil Douglas with help from the Joester (Left Field Studios) and Matty. A pop punk walk through the panic attack of a world in ruins. Find catharsis in sing-alongs calling out the fucked up power imbalances that we face in this world. Shorebirds was an awesome band made up of awesome people and we were lucky while it lasted.
