etxe records


Teething Veils has joined the Etxe Records family.  

Artist-driven, community-minded, and always autonomous, Etxe Records is an independent Washington DC-based record label.  Etxe intends to highlight and celebrate place-based sonic art.  Etxe (et – chay) is taken from one of the oldest known languages on Earth: Basque. In Basque, Etxe refers to a shelter, domicile, or home. An important unit of community is a 'place' for artists to convene and feel free to create.  Etxe Records view themselves in a similar light for like-minded bands/artists.

recordings from radio cpr

We know that Alzo Boszormenyi reads Nietzsche on Saturdays nights, but who hears teething veils on Wednesday nights?  Teething Veils played on the Radio CPR program 'Experiencing a Significant Gravitas Shortfall," hosted by the Mighty Grouse, on Sept. 15.  You can hear the four-song set here.

For the last nine years, The Kaiser and The Pen-Striped Rebel have hosted Taking the P*ss, Mt. Pleasant's monthly night for indie oddities, at the venerable Marx Cafe at 3203 Mt Pleasant St, NW WDC. I've been humbled to play records with them on a few occasions. Here are the songs from those sets.
