Recent happenings at The 'Lab:
We finally have a new website up, the old one being, well, old and a bother to keep up with. Many thanks to Kirk Miles of the Distant Seconds for the use of his photos. Also, thanks to Mark Sonnabaum for his immense technical assistance. In the (hopefully near) future, we'll be adding a photo gallery, discography, and other useful information. But for now, we get back to the business of making records.
