CDCC Year In Review

Greetings Comrades!,

Thank you for supporting us over the last year. CDCC would not exist if not for you. Let's look back at what we've accomplished over the last 365 days.

February gave us two major releases for the Communist Day Care Center. The first of which came on February 11th with Dinosaur Monster's The Giraffe EP. Finally the fan favorite "Mind Of A Mystic Man" was made available, albeit only to the lucky 42 that picked up the limited edition physical release. The EP is still available for streaming on YouTube and Spotify

Just one week later DandyLyon Whine released their second full-length album Coelacanth. This epic album was made even better by the creation of a video for each song on the album.

In April, the CDCC Recording Studio completed it's first major recording project for a non label band. An EP and an LP from the recording sessions will be released from St. Zita sometime in 2013. Check out this small snippet:

On July 16th, JFn'K released their tribute to the automobile with their covers of songs titled "I'm In Love With My Car" by Queen and Mike Ness. The songs were released on Matchbox Car flash drives and included their previous EP and many extras as well. Detroit music journalist Jeff Milo had this to say: http://ferndale.patch.com/articles/milo-s-trip-johnny-headband-j-fn-k-street-culture-mash

Labor Day weekend, an important holiday for DandyLyon Whine had them playing at PJ's Lagerhouse to an empty room. Due to the miracle of the internet, you need not miss out on this great show.

October gave us the opportunity for the First Annual CDCC Halloween SPEC-TACULAR! The amazing lineup included Jeff Tweedy, R.E.M., Hole, and Neil Young & Crazy Horse! Well, it was Jeremy Otto, Chronic Town, Grind Scheme, and DandyLyon Whine performing as those bands. DandyLyon Whine has released their show, titled Trust Never Sleeps





To round out the year DandyLyon Whine was honored to perform for the Ferndale Public Library's First Stop Friday series.

Jeremy of DandyLyon Whine quietly did a cover the only Christmas song he can stand, John McCutcheon's "Detroit, December," and released it for streaming on YouTube. It was also featured on the third tape from Dead Letter Office's cassette club

Thanks once again for hanging with us through another year. What will 2013 yield for the CDCC? We're nearing a definite timeline for the next DandyLyon Whine album. We're hoping it will be out in six months, but it could be closer to a year. We're hoping to get the first from The Dirty Tongues, as well as The Silver Shamrocks, and a few other artists we've been talking to. With hope, this year will also yield the first vinyl pressing to come out of CDCC. Know that we will continue to strive to bring you the best music we can throughout next year and onward.
