August 2006 Newsletter

Aug. 18 2006

Hello Gearhead Faithful!!

NEW GEARHEAD RECORDS WEBSITE!! NEW LOWER PRICES!!

It's been a while since you heard from us, but trust me, its been worth the wait! Lots of news here, so let's just get right to it.... First off, we have a brand new Gearhead Records Website! We've wanted to update the site for ages, but between finding the world's best rock n' punk bands, publishing the magazine, and setting up at the finest hotrod shows in California, there really just wasn't time! So please take note: Gearhead Records and Gearhead Magazine are now two separate URLs, so if you want to shop for music and Gearhead band-related merchandise, please bookmark Gearhead Records, and if you're looking for Gearhead Magazine and Gearhead Apparel, bookmark Gearhead Magazine. You'll still find the same great content at the Gearhead Magazine site, as well as a more music focused experience at the new Gearhead Records website. The record site is still under construction so some buttons may not work, some content may not be available and several sections will just have to wait for now, but this should be more than enough to whet your appetite! You'll notice we have LOWERED OUR PRICES on music and posters, so now is the perfect time to try some of those CDs you always wondered about, plus you can decorate your walls for an amazing low rate of .99 a poster! Over the next few months we'll be adding tons more content like photos, MP3s, videos, featured bands and lots of new merchandise so you'll just have to keep visiting us so you don't miss a thing! We'd love to hear what you think about the new site, so please email us!

The reason for the two separate sites is simple really. All business partners have to asses from time to time where each person is at and what really matters to them. Mike and I have both loved working on every aspect of Gearhead, but with the magazine back in full swing, Mike realized that his love of writing and publishing was really where his heart was at, and I have always been the crazy one, wanting to go check out every little band that crossed my path, so we've decided to focus on what we each love the most so that both Gearhead Records and Gearhead Magazine can be the best companies that we can make them. Both parts of the business will function independently, but will each still keep producing the same great quality Gearhead product you've come to love and count on.

GEARHEAD MAGAZINE #15 OUT SOON, BOOK YOUR ADS NOW!

Gearhead Magazine returns sooner than you thought with #15, and once again it's a killer ish! Verne Hammond of the Burbank Choppers takes us with him and Keith Weesner on their recent trip to Mooneyes Japan for the 14th Annual Yokohama Custom Show where they were the guests of honor, Eric Davidson interviews recently reformed New York Dolls axe man Sylvain Sylvain, Dirty Donny turns in a massive piece on the legendary Mr. J, the man responsible for the paint on Jungle Jim's 70's funny cars and so much more, plus a report from Bonneville, spotlight on The Mad Fabricators Society plus all the usual stuff you've come to love these last 13 years. The ad deadline is September 1st, so it's coming up quick! For a rate and specs sheet, just drop us a line right here and we'll get right back to you. This is also a great time to subscribe, or renew your subscription (you know who you are!) right here.
