“Casual Victim Pile II” due Feb. 22
Matador Records co-owner Gerard Cosloy is reviving his label 12XU to release “Casual Victim Pile II,’ an 18-band, all-Austin compilation due out on limited edition, 180-gram white vinyl on Feb. 22.
It is the sequel to “Casual Victim Pile,” the Austin- and Denton-based band compilation released on Matador in 2010.
Seventeen of the 18 songs are previously unreleased and participants include the following ;
OBN III’s
Cruddy
Rayon Beach
Women In Prison
Naw Dude
Simple Circuit
Hatchet Wound
Crisis Hotlines
Literature
Sally Crewe & The Sudden Moves
A Giant Dog
The Dead Space
Serious Tracers
The French Inhales
The Zoltars
Coma In Algiers
Expensive (Expletive)
Six of the above feature one or more band members from acts on Casual Victim Pile. Several have either released new records in the past few months (Cruddy, Simple Circuit, Hatchet Wound, Crisis Hotlines, Literature, A Giant Dog, The Dead Space, Serious Tracers, The Zoltars) or have something for early 2011 (OBN III’s, Rayon Beach, Women In Prison, A Giant Dog).
Fourteen of the 18 are playing at least once during Free Week (exceptions being Literature, Sally Crewe & The Sudden Moves, Simple Circuit and the French Inhales —- all of whom have local shows between now and mid-February).
Much like last year, Beerland will be hosting a three night series of shows for “CVP II” featuring most, if not all of the above bands, March 3, 4 and 5.
Cosloy says there are no plans for subsequent releases via 12XU. Here is the Statesman’s story from 2010 on the first “Casual Victim Pile.”
