Numero is back at it with more Husker Du content!
1) New Tunes
We're still banging through this treasure trove of Dü tapes and ephemera. A lot of brainstorming and I think we are getting closer to envisioning a proper physical project but still some more work to be done to unearth enough stuff to properly follow up Savage Young Dü. Here's where we are at: We've transferred and restored a bunch of tapes now and this show at Salt Lake City is a stand out show amongst the stand out shows. This never-before-heard soundboard recording survived in the group's archive and comes at the tail end of an almost 90 show run in 1985. We're releasing a section of the show featuring 5 future classics from yet-to-be released Candy Apple Grey heard for the first time by this feverish crowd.
Listen Now:
Nov 3: Salt Lake City
Jan 30: First Avenue, Minneapolis
2) 1985 Tour Shirt Update
We capped the orders at 1 week and ordered the exact amount from our printer. I'm glad we did that because if not, we would have severely underordered. Screen-printing is wrapping up this week and we'll get everything bagged and tagged, probably late next week, early week after. You will get a shipping notice from our site. Appreciate the patience and support!
3) PRE-ORDER: The 1985 Oar Folk Fire Shirt
Because the first shirt did so well and also because we got a ton of emails about people missing the cut-off window for ordering, we are releasing another era-appropriate limited T-shirt tribute. We're calling this one the "1985 Oar Folk Fire" shirt as a tribute to a very similar pinkish tie-dye with blue ink shirt only available at influential Minneapolis alternative record shop Oar Folkjokeopus. The shop was gutted in a fire during 1985 with any original stock of this shirt going up in flames. The 2025 version will be again made to order with
pre-orders going for the next week and will be printed on Comfort Colors Colorblast as a nod to the original dye job.
