Following hot on the heels of Throw the Lions to the Christians by Larry O. Dean, Malcontent's remastered Embarrassment of Riches EP will be released March 20th, including a bonus track.

Stay tuned for more news on the next batch of ZB remasters from The Fussbudgets!

Happy holidays and new year!

Zenith Beast's reissue campaign commences officially on March 6th, with the release of Larry O. Dean's 1997 solo effort, Throw the Lions to the Christians! In honor of its fifteenth anniversary, TTLTTC has been restored to its previous sequence, including two never-before-heard tracks, and remastered (by original mastering engineer, Mike Hagler at Kingsize Soundlabs in Chicago).

Zenith Beast's releases for 2011 include Larry O. Dean's Demos of the Mind (ZB018), The Injured Parties' Chop House Demos (ZB019), and LOD's spoken word collection, Live at Gallery West Espresso (ZB020), recorded during his 2004 book tour for Identity Theft for Dummies. Get your copies today!

Speaking of The Injured Parties, you may now follow them on Twitter.

The two Fussbudgets full-length releases (their debut, Hog Wash! and The Naked & the Daft), as well as Malcontent's EP, Embarrassment of Riches have been remastered by Wally Sound in beautiful Oakland, CA! Official release details to follow. In the meantime, check out songs posted to each band's Facebook page.

This kicks off a full-scale effort to remaster the ZB back catalog. Still to come: Fussbudgets EPs Headache of the Gods, Fresh Brood, and sad fearful playful excited; Christine Wall's Kittenbush; and Larry O. Dean's myriad cassette-only releases. Archival material is also in line to be released, including a Fussbudgets live performance. Stay tuned!

Many ZB books now are available on Goodreads! Look for write-ups and more on Flint, Rate of Exchange, Barking Up the Wrong Tree, QWERTYUIOP, Eyes Ears Nose & Throat, First Washing Machine, Workers' Comp., and Identity Theft for Dummies.
