A Low Hum Updates
From the ALH HQ:
..........................................
1. Camp A LOW HUM 2008!
With the reviews of Camp A Low Hum 2007 being so glowing, I was initially concerned. Concerned that there was simply no way I could follow it. No way I could top it and no possible way to meet peoples expectations. Then I embraced it, thought Screw it! I'm going to organize an event so ridiculously incredible that people will even forget their own name. An event so stupidly awesome that people will chain themselves to the pool, begging me to never let camp finish!
With Camp 2008 in a new, bigger, better location, I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about the new site. I've kept everything that made Camp '07 special, but if you think you know what to expect, you are seriously mistaken.
I never intended for Camp to be considered a weekend festival, so have gone all out to change that perception. Camp A LOW HUM '08 is a now 4 days long! I wanted to make it worthy of people taking a week off of work for it. I want to make it the best week of the year. 3 days was simply not enough.
Yet again, bands will not be announced until the first day of Camp.
I won't tell you much more 'cause I don't want to ruin the surprises – and there are lots of them.

2. Disasteradio "Visions" and the A LOW HUM Label.
I am so very stoked to announce that A Low Hum has evolved into a proper record label, and even more stoked that the first proper album released on it is from my very favourite act in New Zealand – Disasteradio!
It's no secret that I have an obsession with Mr Luke Rowell and his Computer, but for the past couple of years he has been working on the masterpiece that is "Visions". This is the party album of the century! If this album doesn't put a smile on your face, you are the devil. An album full of amazing songs like Hotline, Awesome Feelings, Dancing Fantasy and the new single "Digital Pop".
Luke Rowell and Computer did everything on the album, from writing, to recording, mixing, mastering, and even the artwork! (Which would have also made a great cover for Microsoft "Virtual" Encarta – Windows 95 edition)
Visions will be in shops from October 1, helped by the sweet folk at Border Distribution and it's launch is being celebrated with sweet parties in Auckland, Wellington , Christchurch and Dunedin. Don't Miss!
