Make the Load Lighter: Indie Rock for Haiti
Various ArtistsDRM011
Release Date - February 3, 2010On January 12, Haiti was struck with a humanitarian disaster like we’ve never seen in our part of the globe. With hundreds of thousands dead or injured, and more than a million homeless, Haitians are in desperate need for assistance.
Make the Load Lighter: Indie Rock for Haiti is the result of sixteen great indie bands, donating their time and their art in hopes of raising money and awareness of the tragedy unfolding in Haiti.
In many ways, this compilation resembles the indie rock of old: bands pooling their resources, home-spun artwork, DIY ethics and a strong desire to make a difference. And yet today’s technology enables us to sell this complete collection of music online, just three weeks after the tragic earthquake struck Port au Prince.
Sixteen unbelievable indie rock bands that represent, stylistically, what Dromedary Records is all about – great indie rock, garage, punk(ish), power pop, post-rock and roots music. And with every penny we earn on this record being donated to Haitian earthquake relief, directly to Vwa Ayiti (Voice of Haiti), your contribution makes a difference.
The track listing is as follows:
1. Footstone: “For the Boss”
2. Boss Jim Gettys: “With a Smile”
3. Cuppa Joe: “Taniqua”
4. Moviola: “Calling on the Line”
5. Three Blind Wolves: “Sex is for Losers”
6. Paula Carino: “The Great Depression”
7. Wallendas: “Adrianne”
8. The Neutron Drivers: “All Around the Sun”

Mommyheads
Flying Suit
Flying Suit is considered by many to be one of the greatest indie records of the 90s. Beautifully remastered by Fred Kevorkian (White Stripes, Phish, Stuyvesant), the fidelity of this reissue is magnificent – and the record contains three bonus tracks that were not found on the original. The tracks – “Box,” “Over,” and “Day Job,” were recorded during the same era, and fit wonderfully in this collection.
And now, we’ve added a FREE concert video to the download! That’s right, when you download Flying Suit from this website, you get the complete, remastered Flying Suit, plus the three bonus tracks, and a DVD-quality concert video of the band performing “Worm” this past May at the Cave, in Sundyberg, Sweden!
