Website updates

The Bellmer Dolls, Sixteens, and Mt. Sims pages have all seen some updated and have some new content. Remember some years ago when the website saw only rare updates? Well, we hope to have sufficiently proved that this is no longer going to be the case. Indeed, we've been in the process of streamlining and improving the site for over the past year.
Head over to the following pages to take a look:

http://www.hungryeyerecords.com/bands/bellmer_dolls/index.html
http://www.hungryeyerecords.com/bands/sixteens/index.html

If you're paying attention, the next month should find us updating the other band pages, getting to that "links" page finally, streamlining the webstore a bit, compiling a list of stockists, and last but not least, maintaining a detailed discography page. We've got our work cut out for us, but it'll happen.

Swann Danger & Sixteens Pacific NW dates kick off

It's almost that time.

Sixteens team up with compatriots Swann Danger) on a jaunt of the northwest before gearing up for another trip to Europe in the fall:

13 Aug 2008 Studio 46 Chico, CA
14 Aug 2008 Berbati's Pan w/ Magick Daggers Portland, OR
16 Aug 2008 the Wild Rose Seattle, WA

Sixteens w/ Swann Danger/ Magick Daggers in Aug '08

Sixteens will be joined by the Magick Daggers and Swann Danger for a tour of the Northwest in August '08. Dates are still being booked, and you'll be able to find them by going to any of those bands' myspace pages, but a preliminary glance seems like San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle all have dates, with some more to pop up shortly. In October, Sixteens head over to Lisbon to play the Drop Dead Festival, and in the process stop by the UK and France on the way there. As above, dates will be posted as they become available.

the Holy Kiss/ Sixteens/ Mt. Sims: PRESS!

If you are a Spanish-speaker, or just want to hone your Spanish speaking skills, you'll want to make your way to the Spanish webzine/ blog La Letra Capital for their recent interview with the Holy Kiss. Many thanks to them also for their recent reviews of a slew of Hungry Eye material.

In other Hungry Eye-related news in foreign languages, France's D-Side magazine recently published a feature on Mt Sims in their May/ June issue (along with a Mt Sims track on the accompanying CD). They also had some kind words to say about the "A Grave EP" (as well as Mt Sims' "Happily Ever After" which isn't even out yet), and Sixteens- "Into the Gold Wave..." It was nice to read some kind words alongside interviews with Frustration and Ladytron!

And, in German, Dorfdisco attended a recent Mt Sims show in Berlin and had some nice things to say about the performance.

Sixteens interview in newest installment of Nemesis to Go

Uncle Nemesis' Nemesis to Go webzine has just made a new issue available online, this one prominently featuring an interview with the Sixteens. Also included are a whole slew of photos, reviews, and writings on Drop Dead Prague, Siouxsie, IAMX, the Damned, and some great new bands from the UK like Neil's Children, the Violets, and Vertical Smile (Youth of Killing Joke's newest project). Always a recommended read.

Sixteens and Black Ice make Kim's top 10 in NYC

It has recently come to our attention that both the Sixteens- Into the Gold Wave of Future Non Rip-off and Black Ice- Myopia CDs are being featured as recommended releases as part of Mondo Kim's "top 10" releases in their St Marks location in Manhattan. We thank our friends at Kim's (good lookin' out, Harris!), and recommend all interested New York residents to snag them them there because, for a limited time, they'll be available on sale for less than a 10 dollar bill. We don't know how long this will last, so we implore you to ignore the travesty that is St Mark's Place in 2008, avert your gaze before the mall version of CBGB's, and trek out to that bastion of CDs and records known as Kim's to pick these up. Moreover, the Black Ice release in question is running dangerously low in our own stocks, so now would be the perfect time to get your copy!

New communique from Sixteens+

Kristo of Sixteens had this to share with the fellow travelers wandering onto the Hungry Eye site:

"We went against the grain: We KNEW that no one would like the Barbie baby dress+

But we were wrong+ Men among Men fought over this tiny piece of apparell....Saying it was for their "girlfriends". The real point here, is that this life is dimensional. Not Fact. We aren't fighting anymore. The "give-in" is only a stronger person saying that "all animals included, we are vulnerable entities, coming from somewhere "not here" originally, and how We can say this?

We can say this because we are alive,,,and think about daily existence+ But more on out, that we are the contants of Life Changing occurances that observe inner and outer humanity on a regular basis+

We Love and Question Life

Like Anyone should+

If you'd like to Contakt either of 16S for Therapy, please write us..."
