howdy folks! great news coming from the sons of vesta basement! first of all, the tideland 12" is officially at the pressing plant, and will hopefully have this ready in early april; it's useless to repeat how excited we are, and how amazing is this record, so i just kindly suggest you to check out the band on their myspace page and believe me, you'll be pleased. oh, for sure you will.
another reason for our excitement is that we're proud to announce another upcoming release: in fact, gods & queens are about to tour europe in a very short time, and we catched the bounce to get in touch with them and discuss about a new release. getting in contact with jamie has been great, he's a wonderful and enthuxiast guy, and has been immediately into this as much as we were, and immediately started to work on some new songs. here follows his sarcastic description of the upcoming record:
"gods and queens play songs. if it was 1993, these songs would sound fresh, and maybe exciting, sadly for the band, it's 2010. they still wish it was 1993. for fans of 1 tempo, standard tunings, olympia washington, the mid 90's and lungfish".
damn, we love this guy!
09/02/10
wow, three in a row! unbelievable. the distro is now updated with all the available titles, included some very interesting gems like the new portraits of past ep, kiss the bottle 9", daitro new lp/cd and so on.
then, we can finally announce one of our next releases, that should be available may: the magdalene 12"/cd will be a point of satisfaction from both sides, another chainring to consolidate our bind of friendship. hooray! magdalene and their mates vulturum will be touring europe from may 27th to june 2nd, if you are interested on setting up a show for them, get in touch on their myspace page, they'll be really thankful!
08/02/10
another short update to let ya'll know that now two live sets (pizza and ancient sky) are now available and downloadable on the lost & found section. enjoy them, dogs!
08/02/10
ow, kinda slow with everything huh? i just did a small update on the distro page, adding some items and taking off some other. sadly we don't have much time to check the full catalog right now, so please, for any order, keep in mind that something could be missing, so ASK for the available titles. thanks!
14/01/10
howdy folks, it has been a loooong time since i've wrote something here.. lately the sons of vesta dudes have been terribly busy (yeah, sure..) with work and had really no time to spend over here.. anyway, here are the news:
first of all, the sov fest went really fine, even though a massive amounts of problems, delays and guess what, more problems made everything harder than we thought. our gratitude goes to our beloved friends that helped us to survive through the two longest days of the year. our apologies go to all the disappointed bands that had to play very late (aussitot mort, we do love you!). in any case, the sixth edition of the fest will take place in spring, more details to come!
for all of you patient dudes that made an order, as you probably noticed the mailorder page haven't been updated yet, i'm taking my time on it as it's a terribly long and boring work, please be patient. in any case, all the xmas holidays terribly slowered the mailorder, so if you haven't received your package yet, get in touch and let's see what happened. trades are on their way (or about to be sent).
speaking of sov-related records, some releases finally arrived, some are still on queue, and some more are being planned right now.. true! in fact, the pizza 7"+cd finally made his way to our basement, it looks awesome and sounds even better; the tideland LP is finally about to be sent to the pressing plant, a little more details are going to be fixed in the next days, so expect more news soon; the ancient sky cd release date is still something that even we ignore; two new releases have been decided and their production started, but no names will be unearthed 'till strictly necessary.
as final news, as you can read in the tours section, we're currently setting up the european tour for our beloved friends the catalyst for may 2010. we still need a couple of shows here and there, so if happens that you're interested, get in touch with us to discuss the details, otherwise let's meet on the road and have fun together!
cheers!
04/11/09
some short & fast news since is 4.00 AM and i'm craving for sleep: ok, i have to admit, i've been really slow, the distro page is out to date and yes, i'm trying to avoid in any way to update it.. that's simply because while my sweet mate is touring australia and malaysia with la quiete - enjoying summer, sea and sun - i'm freezing here in fucking italy. luckily i have a couple of good news that keep me warm and that i'm sure will reward me forgiveness: first of all, both the catalyst and la quiete cds are here, and they're really amazing; then, as you've seen in our main page, the annual sons of vesta fest is completely booked and believe me, will be a blast.. twelve bands, three days, lots of food, tons of drinks, uncountable friends, some penguins, the usual freezing and icy weather and, useless to say, uncomparable fun. come to say hello, bring your distro, push your friends! c'mon!
in other news, on thursday timber rattle will start their first european tour... check them out, they're an incredible band and a couple of amazing guys, so don't be shy and manage to meet them at a show. more infos on the tour section. we also have another upcoming tour for 2010: the catalyst from richmond, virginia will hit europe again! whoa! check the available days and if you're interested, write us to set up a show.

the cd version of both ancient sky and the catalyst records will be pressed in a couple of weeks while the pizza 7" and the repress of la quiete 7" will be sent to the pressing plant after mid september. tideland full lenght is a little delayed due to minor artwork problems.

friends, just a few updates from sons of vesta basement: the ancient sky and the catalysyt LP are about to be sent to the pressing plant, and will be approximatively ready in half july. in the meanwhile the tideland record is about to be ready, just a few details to be fixed on the artwork and on the final mix and will be ready to be pressed. some records are out of print at this moment and will be repressed again this summer, in the meanwhile a new record is on queue, check it out!
last but not least, cotidie mori have been added to the lost & found section.
i'm currently updating the distro page, we have a bunch of new records to be added from adagio830, perpetual motion machine and we are waiting for a very good restock from robotic empire. hooray!
04/05/09
small distro update with some new items from communique records, holidays, tumorati di dio and many more!
04/05/09
howdy folks! the rituals 2x12" is finally ready and it's a true blast! super deluxe full colored gatefold cover, full colored 20 pages huge booklet and 107 limited editions on clear.. get it 'till you can!
the khere full lenght has been delayed again... damn. we'll give this all the time it needs to be released and will not try to force it.
in the meanwhile, there are three new releases in queue, respectively #029, #033 and #034:
the catalyst "swallow your teeth" new lp will be recorded this month and released this summer, while the ancient sky record should see the light on early june: we'll be coproducing these records with our great friend paul at perpetual motion machine; probably along with the catalyst, tideland first full lenght "asleep in the graveyard" will be released in a new born coalization with the lovely robotic empire team!
we can't really wait to have these records in our hands, expect something amazing; then more stuff is planned but still to be defined, so stay tuned as we have a lot of new projects!
02/04/09
distro list updated! many, many items added from forge again records, no idea, hyperrealist, ebullition and many, many, many, oh so many more. check the list and write soon, as some items are limited in quantities!
in other news, the rituals 2x12" is ready and we just have to pick up the copies, so hold on a few days more, ok? voices said that this is really awesome... can't wait to see it! hooray!
02/04/09
hello folks, the rituals 2x12" is almost ready! hooray! this long awaited record will finally see the light really, really soon! in the meanwhile there are no other news, we're updating the distro list, so i will post an updated one in a few days. in the meanwhile go check the lost and found section for three new bands: a flower kollapsed, bramagnoseologica and the rituals!
ERRATA CORRIGE: we have to point that the last copies of the raein LPs are all ready, but we still have to pick them up. michele did a great work, doing them as fast as possible to cover the long delay gap between the pressing and the actual release of the record, so when we said "the silkscreening process that's taking more time than we thought" was to be intended as the ENTIRE process from sending the copies to michele and getting them back. this delay is totally not depending by him, he's just another one like many of you (and us too) that had problems because of this terribly organized thing.
doing things in the way we love and with friends and people we love - while living in different towns - means that at times things don't follow the plan you had in mind. a faster way could have been bringing the records back and forth between our basement and the pressing plant and michele studio, or shipping the whole stock, and this would have meant a consistent overcharge on the final price. we chose to do things differently and this ended on an everlasting delay. we are sorry about this, but again, be patient with us: we're slow, at time lazy, and often late, but we did (and we still do) our things in the best way we think they have to be done. and yes, at times happens that we can fail too.
29/03/09
new section launched! if you check on the menu on the left, you'll see a new button has been added. go and check it! will be hopefully updated as much as possible. enjoy!
15/03/09
a short update to announce that we had a few copies back of the violentbreakfast 12" and the contrasto/nagasaki nightmare 12". if you're still interested on them, get in touch as they are really limited.
14/03/09
so the good news are that the rituals 2x12" is finally at the pressing plant, so we should have it ready pretty soon (crossed-fingers, crossed-fingers), hopefully in the first week of april. in the meanwhile, ancient sky are recording their first full lenght, that will be released by us in cooperation with the almighty perpetual motion machine in the usa. expect something amazing. i've added it in queue on the releases page, will update it when possible. last but not least, we finally have available both cd version and colored vinyl version of the neil on impression record. so get in touch for getting your personal copy!
the bad news are that we're still stuck with the raein lps: after all the problems with pressing, shipping and covers fixing, now the new one is the silkscreening process that's taking more time than we thought. so here's the fact, we are basically out of raein LP, getting really small and occasional restocks, with many, many trades pending from our part as we don't have enough records to send. anytime we receive a bunch of copies, we immediately send them to people that already paid/traded them, and we do it in chronological order, so please don't think "he got his records before me because he's more important": we don't really care about this kind of shit. there are a lot of people waiting since november, and we're truly sorry with all of you, but believe us, we're not having fun in this situation, and we're really, really getting tired about this. please, be patient and try to understand how crazy this situation is for us too. we can just wait and hope this will end soon. and, by the way, don't worry, you will receive your records as soon as possible, even if this sounds like a cliché.
06/02/09
hello everyone, it looks like we're really trying to be less chaotic and more punctual. in fact we updated the distro list with the new items got in january. the good news are that we had the chance to take a lot of items from a shop that was quitting the activity, so we had them for a good price and we're able to offer them to you.. you'll find a lot of lost gems so hurry up as many of them are in single copy. some robotic empire items that are listed are not actually here, but will arrive in a week or two, so don't worry. more items in arrive from noidea, exotic fever and a lot of other labels, so stay tuned for the next update. for those still waiting for their copy of the raein 12", we're (slowly) proceeding so we'll try to send everything out asap. please be patient for a little time more.
the rituals 2x12" will be sent to the pressing plant in 2 weeks, we have the definitive artwork and i assure you, it's wonderful. can't wait to get it.
11/01/09
friends, the mailorder is finally starting to get on the track, we're proceeding with sending tons of packages, if your is not arrived, will arrive soon. thanks for waiting, really. we're currently working on the artwork of the khere 12", our beloved friend clio is creating something amazing, you'll be amazed by her work! hopefully we'll be ready to send the record at the pressing plant on january 20. expect an incredible and powerful burst of chaotic screamo punk, think a mix between ampere, yage and yaphet kotto, all packaged in a beautiful deluxe and full-colors cover. the rituals 2x12" is a little in delay, but will be soon sent to the pressing plant too. in the meanwhile, if you want to help us to gather the money for these, order some records from us!
check the "about us" section to give faces to names. guess who? cheers!
01/01/09
happy new year folks!
we've finally updated the distro page! it took something like 5 days to put everything on that page, but it was worth it. so finally we have a huge selection of cds, records, cassettes all available and in stock. as you'll probably notice, some prices have changed. something's gone up, something down. we tried to uniform the cds and 7" prices to a medium amount, except for some ones. last but not least, read carefully the statement on the top of the distro page. thanks!
25/12/08
hello everyone, as probably many of you noticed we're getting REALLY slow. i'm sure there are a lot of kind guys and gals (or at least, that used to be kind) that are probably arguing: "where the fuck are my records?". we are really really really sorry for taking so long. here's the matter: we had some problems with the raein covers and some other problems with the neil on impression inserts. so EVERY order containing one or both of these titles is delayed. we know that there is some people waiting since november, but don't worry, we'll send every parcel out. if you feel like you've been forgotten, drop us an email to the mailorder address, with your order, address and the date you sent the money. again, sorry for being such slow dumb-asses.
so, still talking about the mailorder problems, the good news are that we finally managed to tidy up every record we have in distribution, so i'm already (err.. i mean, finally) working on a huge, mastodontic, colossal, (blah blah blah...) update. so this means that this work needs a lot of time, but i'm trying to do my best to be fast. you'll probably see the mailorder page down for some days, don't worry it will be back. hopefully. actually i was working on this since half november, but my computer decided to exhale his last breath after the sov fest, so i've lost the full vinyl list i made..
yeah nice shot, thank you jesus, that was really funny.
04/12/08
fast fast news, we're reeeeaaally busy in these days!
both neil on impression and raein records are finally out! hooraay! they both sound and look AMAZING. we're really, really proud. thanks to all the people involved. write us to order your copy, trade or buy at wholesale price.

in the meanwhile, here the real news: the neil on impression double lp and cd will be ready in a week, and so should be the raein lp. we are sooo excited about these records, they will totally sound and look awesome: expect great things. we will never be grateful enough with our dear friend stefano @ holidays records for supporting, helping and standing our zillions of asking and requests.
also, as every year, on december we'll have our birthday festival: we'll be a four years old label, and we'll break through the barrier of thirty (30!) releases! again we'll have as always a lot of friends partying with us, from italy and from abroad too, so foreign friends, book your flights, check your trains, pump up gasoline in your cars and ride your bikes, be ready for this year edition of SONS OF VESTA FEST (IV)!
will be huge, we promise.

13/03/08
hello everyone, we are definitly upgrading to a professional level (whoo hoo), so we are changing our email address due to a lack of order.. in other terms, this one is too much chaotic and it's not easy to take care of orders, trades, or simply questions when you have to search for determinate messages for about 15 minutes. so, here you can find our new addresses:
info@sonsofvesta.it for what concerns questions, releases, shittalking, touring.
mailorder@sonsofvesta.it for what concerns distro questions, wholesale, trades, orders.
also, we are really annoyed by newsletters, spam, and similar, so please, try to not add us to any of your newsletters. okay, we know that for labels it's useful for letting us know about your upcoming releases, new entries in distro and so on. so let's say "try to send us just what you really think we could be interested in".
all the other stuff will be trashed and blacklisted (how rude).
so please, update your address-books, because this email will be checked for a week and replies will arrive from the new ones, then it will be left behind forever (and ever, and ever). the distro section is going to be updated soon (next week hopefully), and we have a bunch of new releases coming in these days: the magdalene cd is almost ready, and so does the celeste "nihiliste(s)" cd and the her breath on glass/khere 10" (finally), while the bokanovsky s/t LP is finally ready. get in touch for buying your copy, trading or wholesale purchasing. much love from the boys of summer.
28/01/08

cold. the weather is definitly cold. this winter is frosting us, making us sleepy and more lazy than ever: sorry for this lack of updates, i know, the mailorder list hasn't been updated yet, your packages seem to be lost and you feel like your records will never arrive at your home. i am terribly sorry but as we are both working we have less time than before, and with that time we are trying to do more things than spending an entire afternoon at the post office. this is not and will never be a work, and would be nice if people that write us would try to be kind even if you have already payed your records, and if 10 days passed and you still haven't received them. we are not an online shop, we are humans. if you don't agree with this, you can write us an email and discuss it. or alternatively, you can buy your records at interpunk or ebay or wherever. (note: this is not particularly referred to anyone.)
ok stop whining, here are the news:
first of all, i hurted my knee while biking around, so i will be blocked at home within dec. 20. this means that yes, i will finally have time to update the entire distro list. yippie-ki-ah-yee! expect a lot of new stuff, i promise i'll try to update it more often (blah blah blah).
- khere s/t 10" is here and it looks and sounds amazingly better than the cd! rush to get your copy!
- cotidie mori s/t 7" is still waiting to be released, we still miss the covers. a true odissey.
- nagasaki nightmare /blunt split 12" is almost ready, we will have the copies on dec. 15. hooray!
- her breath on glass/khere split cd is almost ready too, we already have the booklets and the cds will arrive in a few days! the 10" version will be available after december i think.
we also have new records planned, check the releases page to have an idea :)
last but not least, as every year, this december we will set up a festival to celebrate the birthday of the label, this year is #03. on 14/15 december we will set up two days of punk music, love, friendship and fun. you're all invited! carry your distro, leave your dog at home, bring your friends! enjoy!

15/06/06

25/04/06
today i've sold the last copies of the memento mori compilation we had in distro. the bramagnoseologica cd-r is sold out too. it was limited to just 100 copies, but surely you could find these cds searching for them in some distros, surely there are some copies around the world still unsold that wait for a new home! well, what should i say.. i loved those cds. because they were our first works, because we spent so many nights cutting, bending, glueing the covers, copying the cds, it was a really huge effort, but hey, that's the way we like it. it was the same with the khere s/t cds, it will be the same with the june paik ones. no matter how much time it will need. we love to do things by ourselves. we love hand-made stuff, we love to put all of our heart, mind and passion on this. to feel these not just as paper and plastic, but as pulsing organs.
