Beginning in April 2010, TFC Records will expand into a rehearsal space studio to serve bands in the CORPUS CHRISTI area. Roger Guerrero, the founder of the long-running punk label has been working on the project for several years now.

 In February, he found a spot on the city’s south side that seemed to be ideal and so here we are.

The location is 5802-D Wooldridge Ste. #2, near Staples in between Holly and Saratoga.

TFC Rehearsal Space will initially offer three 12×17 foot rooms with practice PAs and equipment closet rentals to store your band gear.

Eventually, TFC will grow to include two additional 12×17 foot practice rooms and one 20×20 foot live room, suitable for large-budget projects. Keep in mind that you will rehearse in a climate-controlled, secured rehearsal facility; your mom’s garage this ain’t!

In addition to space for your band to rehearse without fear of noise complaints, TFC Rehearsal Space will also rent gear in case your amp goes on the fritz or your crash ride is thrashed. There will also be plenty of replacement supplies in case you forget a wire or your picks, break a stick or need a battery.

And because TFC began life as a DIY record label, the entire TFC catalog will be available as well as plenty of killer underground punk/garage/hardcore/etc. titles you can’t find anywhere else in the city. Distros and mailorder outlets are encouraged to get in touch ASAP.  We’re happy to trade our punk, emo and rock CDs and vinyl for yours so long as it’s snotty, crusty or otherwise punky.

The grand opening is set for April 1 but a soft opening will take place on March 24. More details are forthcoming.

The Disc Go Round record release for the SUS/One Trick Cobra split EP back on 12/26 was a total hoot. Thanks to all who stopped in, had a slice of pizza pie and especially those who bought a single.

So now comes the hard part. TFC needs some distributors for the “Fast Beats in a Slow Town, Vol. One” split EP (S.U.S./One Trick Cobra). So if you do distro and could use a fast and furious EP featuring two up-and-coming Corpus Christi h/c bands, please get in touch. Also, if you have suggestions for reliable distro, shoot them over.

We can do trades for hardcore releases on vinyl as well (1 for 1 on EPs, 2 for 1 on LPs) … we can also do crust, garage or snotty punk. We can also trade for CDs but we’re real selective about the titles as we’ve gotten way too many CD-Rs with Kinko’s produced covers in the past.  If you’re really interested in working out a trade, message TFC first.

We do have a few copies at Interpunk so if you’d like to pick one up, click the following link: “Fast Beats in a Slow Town, Vol. One”

Lastly, a few copies were sent out this week to MRR and Hussieskunk Radio. If you have a radio show that plays h/c or punk, send the address over and we’ll send a promo copy to you. We also got two plays on the punkrockdemo.com podcast. Check it out!

Check out the TFC Podcast Show at podOmatic.com …. featuring all the TFC non-hits you’ve come to love as well as new tunes by current Double C stompers and collector-nerd demo rarities by long gone Corpus Chrusti faves!
