does your band have a demo / ep / album coming out and need a small run of tapes? do you just wanna do a repress of something already out?

consider this me officially opening submissions for potato cat records.

hmu and let’s talk!!

Chandler Bing has listened to the new little tiny knife album. Have you?

If not, be like Chandler Bing: 916growthgigs.bandcamp.com/album/waynes...

Meme of Chandler Bing from Friends, clutching a vinyl record to his chest; the record is the new little tiny knife album, "Wayne's World / Almost Alive From Dustin's Kitchen."

Day 18: Wayne's World/Almost Alive From Dustin's Kitchen (LP) by little tiny knife

So... I'm in this band, and am therefore,, probably a bit biased. But I loved LTK's music for YEARS, waaay before I ever joined.

Day 17: Moments a Year from Now (single from the Pipe Dream LP) by Apes of the State

I saw this band play this song at a house show, circa 2018/'19, when I was going thru a LOT – and hearing these lyrics that night changed my life.

Day 15: Cynic (EP) by Sister Crayon

Seeing this band play at Luigi's Fungarden (Sacramento Music Scene Elders, iykyk) when I was about 13-yrs-old is how I found out local music existed. 100% wouldn't be who I am without Terra Lopez.

Day 12: Kids (single) by Freature

Yes, this is a rock cover of the classic song by MGMT. And yes, I'm plugging a cover, bc it is THAT FUCKING GOOD. I love the original + this is a beautiful take on it.

Also, this band's from Sac :)

Day 10: Butte County (single) by Lucy Broom

I absolutely cannot overstate enough exactly how talented Lucy is. She is certainly the best musician I know IRL. And imo Butte County is her best song.

Day 8: moving forward (LP) by absinthe father

I followed Haley on twt yrs ago bc I thought they were funny. Then, one day, they moved to the bay area and started playing shows in sac. They're in SoCal now, but it was a magical time.

There is a very noticeable Autumn Sky-shaped hole in the Sacramento music scene. I always hope they're doing well in PA, think of them often, etc. So much love for this human 🫶

Day 2: My So-Called Astrolife (single) by Dandelion Massacre

I have loved this song since like 2018, I can't overstate the level of joy I felt to see it finally pop up online last year. I, too, was born with bags under my eyes.
