World Wide Free Shipping From Gearhead Records

2011-12-08T11:40:00.000-08:00

The frosty fingers of winter have started to stroke the lush Sacramento Valley. Freeze warnings on the local news have triggered the frantic covering of cold-tender plants like orange and lemon trees, hibiscus and other tropical plants that grow so wonderfully in the rich warm climate of Northern California. As a Master Gardener, these changes are foremost in my mind as I balance running my business with my love of gardening. Do I concentrate on getting the website updated for the Gearhead Records annual holiday Free Shipping Sale, or do I take the next few days off to take care of my plants? It’s the daily balancing act that makes running a small business so exciting, and so challenging, especially as the holidays approach. Since the last newsletter just went out a few weeks ago, you dear subscribers already know what’s been going on, so I can just send out this short update, and then get back to my plants!

ANNUAL HOLIDAY FREE SHIPPING SALE WORLDWIDE STARTS DEC. 8

For one week every year, Gearhead says thank you to our customers around the world by offering free shipping on any item purchased through our Secure Web Store. As a small business, there’s not a lot of room to mark merchandise up, and since all the items we sell in our Web Store are custom, and therefore by definition, unique and limited, there usually isn’t any room for big sales and discounts like our brethren at the Big Box Stores.

I’m not knocking those giant corporate chains at all– they serve a purpose in our economic climate. But the holidays are a time to focus on the unique, the different, the unexpected, and what better way to blow the minds of your gift recipients than by giving them the Gift of Gearhead and saving a few bucks on shipping for you! As most of you long-time subscribers know, we have something for everyone: rockin’ tunes for the indie music fan, shot glasses for the drinker in your life, t-shirts and hoodies, and stickers and posters for that wrencher working on their wheels in your garage.

So head over to our Secure Web Store, Dec 8 through Dec. 15 and click on any item to add it to your shopping cart, and at check out, you’ll just pay for the items, minus shipping! And yes, no matter where you live on this lovely planet, your order will ship to you free of charge. Now, there may be a small fee for using your credit card, and there’s nothing I can do about that–it’s built into the back end of the credit card processor, but honestly, its just pennies, not the full cost of shipping. That is my gift to you my friends, for sticking with Gearhead, and supporting us these last eleven years! World Wide Free Shipping ends Dec. 15! Happy Holidays!

GEARHEAD TO BE FEATURED LABEL ON ITUNES FOR CHRISTMAS!!

While I have never actually downloaded music off of Itunes, I hear tell its all the rage these days. Our pals at Itunes really want to get Gearhead into the present and have asked us to be their featured label during the frantic holiday season, and we’ve said yes! So what does that mean for you, the downloader extraordinaire, or newbie like myself? From December 22 through January 3 2012, a number of Gearhead records will be on sale for download through Itunes at a special discounted rate!

Many of you may already use Itunes to purchase digital music, so just log into your account and download these select titles for the discounted rate. If you don’t have an Itunes account, it’s really easy to set up. I even finally set one up myself! Maybe you’ll get a new Iphone or other MP3 player or computer for the holidays, so have some fun and check out some new music, or talk your friends into doing it, and download away!

As we wrap up this year, and look towards the future, may you all enjoy the spirit of the holidays, and share what you have with those you love. The holiday season is about recognizing and appreciating the community you find yourselves in, whether it’s a group of punk rockers, car buffs, gardening fanatics or your crazy family that never got who you were. Love them anyway and enjoy how they enhance your life.

Sending you all greetings and best wishes for a festive and abundant holiday season.

Thanksgiving 2011 Newsletter

2011-11-23T17:23:00.000-08:00

The leaves have turned gold and red; the cold air rustles through the trees bringing hints of winter to come. Thanksgiving is just around the corner; how did the year go by so fast? It’s hard to believe, but the last Gearhead Records newsletter went out in April, as spring was just unfolding.

The economy has taken a toll on many businesses, but thankfully, Gearhead Records is still alive and kicking. No new records or shirts this year; instead we’ve focused on working with what we have, looking for new ways to get the word out on all the great music and products available. It’s been fun going through the catalog; in the rush to create more more more, the cool stuff that came earlier tends to get overlooked or forgotten.

Mostly I’ve just dug into learning about all the technology available and how to use it to promote Gearhead. Honestly, I’m old school. I still write letters. I like to try on my clothes before I buy them. I like shopping in little local shops. Download a track to my Iphone? Can’t: don’t have one! Don’t get me wrong; I like technology. I love how easy it is to connect with customers now compared to B.T. (before technology!). But I am not one of those people that enjoy spending hours on the computer. I search for what I need and get off.

It’s always been important to me to connect with my customers and create a feeling of community, so I am getting better about sharing pictures and remembering to tweet about cool stuff like a movie using one of our songs in their sound track, or Vans BMX picking a track for an online commercial. So read on and feel free to join our online community!

Facebook Fan Page, Twitter and Blog
Hopefully you’re all enjoying my clumsy efforts to connect using Facebook, Twitter, and the Blog. The Gearhead Records Facebook fan page is slowly but surely getting updated with pictures, status updates, and news bites. If you haven’t “liked” us already, please do so now! The page is continuing to evolve as I dig up stuff from the past. I even have my own page where I’ve started posting personal photos of my time with Gearhead. Let’s connect!

I’ve also revived the blog and will be writing a “Record of the Day” series, talking about the “behind the scenes” stuff, why we put a certain record out, how we met the band etc. It should be fun so make sure you sign up for the blog too.

And finally, Twitter has been pretty steady since it was the easiest to get rolling. Any time the blog is updated, or the Facebook page, we’ll be posting it on twitter as well.

Itunes to Feature Gearhead in December!
Download Fans; get your mobile devices ready! For those of you who like to download music, Gearhead Records will be the featured label on Itunes December 22 2011 through Jan 3 2012. This means selected titles will be highlighted on Itune’s Indie/ Punk pages and will be available at a special discounted price for download! As the promotion gets closer, we’ll be posting more details on the Facebook page, so make sure you “like” us!

Black Friday-Cyber Monday 25% off sale in EBay
Since we closed our retail boutique Gearhead Records and Stuff, we’ve continued to sell lots of fun items from our EBay Store Front. Not only are there the usual Gearhead music and merch, but rare posters, records and collectibles as well! You can even make an offer for what you’d like to pay on many of the items! To kick off the holiday season, we’re putting everything in the EBay store on sale for 25% off from Black Friday Nov. 25 through Cyber Monday Nov. 28!

We will have our traditional world wide free shipping week through the Gearhead website Dec 8 through Dec 12 as well, so mark your calendars. But why not start shopping early for unique gifts for those music nuts on your shopping list? EBay Store sale ends Monday Nov. 28!

May this newsletter find you all enjoying the holiday of gratitude and thankfulness, whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not. Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm!

Record of the Day

2011-11-22T17:18:00.000-08:00

I've decided to write about each of the records I've released through Gearhead. I'm frequently asked what my favorite record is, and honestly, I can't really answer that. I wouldn't have put the record out if I didn't love it.

That being said, I can provide a little background as to why I chose a particular record or band to work with. I'm going to start writing short reviews about various records in the Gearhead catalog and why I like the record so much, plus I'll include any background stuff, like how the band came to the attention of Gearhead. This will be called "Record of the Day" and for each record I write about, that record will be on sale for a short time through both the website (http://www.gearheadrecords.com) and the ebay store (http://www.stores.ebay.com/gearhead-records).

The updates will be posted online through the blog, twitter, facebook etc. This will be fun! And if nothing else, at least it will be some insight into how Gearhead works!

Big Itunes Promotion coming in December!

2011-11-11T15:01:00.001-08:00

Mark your calendar folks! The last week of December 2011 and the first week of January 2012, Gearhead Records and Itunes will team up for a special online promotion featuring the Gearhead catalog! You'll be able to download the catalog for special discounted pricing, including the compilations. As we get more details on what bands will be featured, we'll let you know!

2010-12-22T15:54:00.000-08:00

“Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain) Ch-ch-Change Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers…” So it goes in David Bowie’s song Changes. Speaking of changes, here at Gearhead Records, we've gone through plenty since you read our most recent newsletter.... way back in April!! And that’s mostly because there have been so many changes; we've just been keeping up and adapting. Between closing the store and moving the Gearhead Headquarters to Davis, CA, to navigating the changing landscape of the music industry, a less flexible label might have folded.

Yes, it was tempting at times to throw in the towel, but there is still that “something” that keeps us going. Now with the holidays almost here, in this time of giving gifts and merriment, of looking back at the passing year, and looking forward to a new year…well, all we can say is Gearhead Records is still here to serve you, changing with the times, trying new things, and letting other things go. Time moves on, life changes, so why not businesses?

In this final edition for 2010 of the Gearhead Records Newsletter, you’ll find the following:
*Free Shipping on all orders Worldwide until Dec. 31st 2010
*Cds that are going out of print
*Demo Submission Update
*Changes in our business focus
*Clothing and T Shirts that are going out of print

WORLDWIDE FREE SHIPPING ON ALL ORDERS ‘TIL DEC 31st 2010
The holiday season brings out the competition even in the best of businesses. And while we can’t compete (and have no desire to) with the lure of a new I-phone or a Wii video game, we still have a lot to offer the shopper who has a love of new music few people on their Christmas list might even be aware of.

To help make the most of your holiday budget, we are once again offering our annual WORLD WIDE FREE SHIPPING ON ALL ORDERS deal! Which is basically a nifty way of saying, “Hey, buy some cool Cds for your friends and family or a gift for yourself and we’ll ship it to you for free, anywhere in the world. Or if you want the succinct version, it’s this:

Now, until December 31st, place your order on line for ANYTHING in our web store and we’ll cover the cost of shipping it to you, any where in the world. So give it a try: just click on any item in the Gearhead Records web store and put it in your shopping cart. EVERYTHING, including posters, shot glasses, stickers shirts, hoodies and music all ship for free! When you check out, you’ll notice you aren’t charged the cost of shipping, no matter where you live World Wide! Cool huh? Please note there may be a small charge that appears in the shipping section for using your credit card. We can’t stop that charge! Happy Holidays!

GOING GOING GONE: WHEN THESE CDS ARE GONE, THAT’S IT!
Those of you who have been around with us a while are probably pretty familiar with our extensive catalog. It’s a lot to keep on top of, and so in the spirit of streamlining we’ve decided to let many of our Cds titles go out of print. This may be your last chance to buy some of these titles as the actual physical CD. When they’re gone, that’s it. You’ll only be able to find them as digital downloads on Itunes or in our MP3 Store! So while you’re perusing the selections to purchase for your Free Shipping special, maybe grab one of these babies, while supplies last! Cause when they’re gone, they’re gone daddy gone:

V/A “Gearfest” CD
V/A “Runnin’ On Fumes” CD
V/A “Smash Up Derby” CD
V/A “Thingmaker” CD
The Hypnomen “Trip With Satan” CD
NRA “New Recovery” CD
Mensen “Delusions of Grandeur” CD
Riverboat Gamblers “Something to Crow About” CD
Puffball “Super Commando” CD
Gito Gito Hustler “Gito Galore” CD
Electric Eel Shock “Beat Me” CD
Lords of Altamont “Lords Have Mercy” CD/LP
Lords of Altamont “Altamont Sin” CD
The White Barons “Up All Night” CD/LP
Hellbound Glory “Scumbag Country” CD
Hellbound Glory “Old Highs & New Lows” CDs

GEARHEAD RECORDS AND LICENSING:SORRY, BUT NO WE DON’T ACCEPT DEMOS!
Every day, I get numerous emails from bands wanting to know if Gearhead Records is accepting demo submissions. While it seems counter-intuitive for a record label to say NO! that is precisely the answer we give them. As the music industry continues to shift and tries to figure out how people are buying new music, it’s become obvious that the old model of finding bands and putting out their Cds just doesn’t really work any more. With the rise of Facebook, Myspace and Itunes, computer saavy young musicians have multiple ways of creating, promoting and selling their own music. While an established record label is still important to the big picture and life of a band, our role has shifted.

So, we’re holding off adding new bands to the roster for the time being; instead we’ve shifted our focus to supplying film and TV with music for the various projects they’re always coming to us for. Yes, we’ll still continue to sell Cds as long as we have them, and we’ll continue to focus on the ever-expanding market for digital music.But we're expanding the emphasis on licensing our extensive catalog.

So if you are a Music Supervisor, or an independent filmmaker, work at an advertising company, or are in need of music for a project you’re working on, drop us a line, or call us direct at 530-750-7900. It’s been really fun to match music up with various projects, like MTV’s Fantasy Factory or the CW Network’s Hellcats.

We still have such a backlog of demos to get through still that it will likely be a while before we open the door up to demo submissions again. But, hey, we really appreciate all the creativity that's cooking out there, and we're definitely looking forward to the time when we will accept demos again.

DOESN’T GEARHEAD MAKE NEW T SHIRTS ANYMORE?
As many of you have probably noticed, another change here at Gearhead HQ is the fact that many of our shirts have either sold out, or are down to just one or two sizes. And while the t-shirts, stickers, patches and all the other merchandise has been really fun to make, at the present time, it’s just not where our focus lies.

So while supplies last, the shirts, hoodies, and other merchandise you see will still be for sale, but as they sell out, we’re not going to reprint any of it. They will be gone forever, only to live on you or in your closet. It's time to let it all go! So really, this is your last chance to get many of our most popular shirts, hoodies, patches, accessories, stickers and other merchandise by bands such as The Hellacopters, Wildhearts, Electric Eel Shock, “Demons”, the Sugar Skull and Wrench Logo. And what better time to pick up one of these limited edition items but now, while there’s a FREE SHIPPING sale going on?! We’re clearing it all out to make room for 2011, and the possibility of something new!

Thanks to all of you who have hung in there with us for these last 10 years! We’ve been through many changes over the years, and can’t wait to see what opportunities the New Year will bring us. We're in the process of updating our email program. If you no longer wish to receive this newsletter, there should be an "unsubscribe" button somewhere in this email, but if not, just drop us a friendly email with Please Remove in the subject line. Happy Holidays, and a very happy 2011 to you all!

GEARHEAD RECORDS CELEBRATES TEN YEARS IN BUSINESS

2010-04-06T10:24:00.000-07:00

As I was saying, April 11 will mark the official Ten Year Anniversary of Gearhead Records very first CD. To celebrate, we're throwing a party, and not just any party. This party will feature performances by Exene Cervenka, the former singer from X, (who as anyone who knows me can tell you, is my favorite punk band bar none) and Hellbound Glory. Exene is out on the road promoting her new release Somewhere

Gone on Bloodshot Records (available in our retail store).

X had melody, and a girl and a guy singer on equal footing that weren't afraid to mix fast guitars with of-kilter country-inspired harmonies, all elements that captured my attention the first time I heard them back in 1982. Exene, like her former partner John Doe, has moved on and her new record is a sweet slightly melancholy blend of folk and Americana, which still rings with the off-kilter harmonies she became so well known for. Thus, I was thrilled when she asked if she could stop by my store to play. Way appropriate considering she was one of the few strong confident female role models I had when I started getting into punk rock those many years ago.

Instead of celebrating Record Store Day like everyone else that previous Saturday we'll celebrate on Tuesday April 20, 2010. Events will start rolling at 5 pm with a behind-the-scenes tour of the Gearhead Records Warehouse, and Hellbound Glory will kick the music off at 6 pm for this free, all ages, alcohol-free public event with Exene going on at 7pm. The party will be catered by the local seasonal cuisine restaurant Monticello Bistro, featuring delectable noshes made with ingredients grown locally here in Yolo County. Over the next month, I'll be writing daily posts in my personal blog unveiling the story of Gearhead Records and my personal trek into the music business more than 25 years ago.

The entire month of April, we'll celebrate the artists that have shared this wacky world with us by putting the entire catalog on sale. So please, save the date, Tuesday April 20th, 2010, and come celebrate 10 years of kick ass punk 'n' roll with us.
