Monstrous Media!

Last week I was given (nearly) full control over the organization and creation of Tender Loving Empire’s yearly compilation “Friends and Friends of Friends” This year we will be putting out a 2-disc set with one disc consisting of bands local to Portland and the second being bands from around the country and Canada. I am in charge of choosing the artists, picking the tracks, and designing the artwork and the packaging. This compilation is pretty huge around here; many people will see/hear this record.
In addition I will be organizing the TLE Birthday Bash in May. I will be booking bands and making all the necessary arrangements. This will be the official release date for the compilation. I’m super excited to get my hands on the underbelly of two wonderful musical aspects of TLE’s and Portland’s 2009.
