=== I Murdered Mommy now available from Klanggalerie ===
Monday, November 6 2017, 5:04pm
Klanggalerie's reissue of I Murdered Mommy saw official release last week. If you have already ordered, it will be on its way to you shortly. If you haven't ordered yet, you can do so here: http://www.klanggalerie.com/gg257.
However, the Klanggalerie office is closing for a couple of weeks, so if you place an order now it won't be shipped until they reopen on the 20th. If you're waiting anyway, perhaps you'd be interested in browsing some other releases, some already available and some coming soon: Bobuck - Egg Booty, Title in Limbo Special Edition, Frith/Fox - A Day Hanging Dead Between Heaven And Earth.

=== pREServed: The Archival Reissue Series ===
Thursday, November 9 2017, 5:36pm
Deep in a San Francisco basement, lost in time and space and long-forgotten by their masters, lay over a hundred tattered boxes containing master tapes, demos, curios and acres of unreleased material dating back to the early 1970s.
Beginning at the beginning - with Meet The Residents and The Third Reich N Roll to be released in January 2018 - and working chronologically through the mire, daisy-fresh sets of newly remastered albums and singles, live recordings, alternate versions and as much long-lost and unreleased material as The Residents' can bear to part with will be available for your purchasing pleasure.
As ever with The Residents, users are advised to expect the unexpected and put their faith in the unknowable.

=== Word on US Shows [UPDATE] ===
Thursday, November 16 2017, 7:24am
If you've been poking around on ticket seller sites, you may have noticed some Residents dates in North America in April of 2018. Well, they are true. We've collected venue and ticket info on our tour dates page: http://www.residents.com/tourdates
Tickets go on sale on Friday at 10am (that's local to the venue), so your plan of action is clear: buy tickets Friday, plan your days off from work, and save your pennies for the merch table because THE RESIDENTS ARE COMING TO TOWN!
=== Newz to Uze ===

The PledgeMusic campaign for I AM A RESIDENT! closes in 14 days. Get in there while the gettin's good. Or wander in there while the wanderin's weird. However you like.
In Between Dreams continues to roll across Europe, and tickets go on sale today for the North American leg of the tour, which kicks off in Los Angeles in April. We hope to see you at one or more of the shows.

The I AM A RESIDENT! campaign closes in ten days. If you are in the United States, over Thanksgiving you can reflect upon all of the good things in your life... and then head over to PledgeMusic to get some more good things and/or become a part of this wild and wonderful thing we call The Residents.
In other countdown news, The Residents have just five more performances left in the current In Between Dreams tour. Here's a picture of them just before taking the stage last night in Belgrade (photo credit: Hein Fokker). See the remaining dates (and upcoming North American dates) here.

=== I AM A RESIDENT PLEDGE DOORS CLOSE ON THURSDAY ===
Tuesday, November 28 2017, 10:36am
513 Residents! That's how many of you have joined via the I AM A RESIDENT! PledgeMusic campaign as of this writing. And one of you has pledged to ride on the bus! Only four seats left - will one of them be yours?
The deadline to join (and optionally pick up some cool stuff, like vinyl pressings of the upcoming albums, a faboo clothing bundle, and a mondo cool wooden box set) is Thursday. So this is it, your two minute warning, except "minute" in this case means "day." I guess it's really a two day warning, but that doesn't flow off the tongue quite so well.
Song submissions are still coming in, and will continue to do so until December 16th, after which we'll figure out how to pick the best. Right now there are 91 entries, so it's going to be tough to find the few, the proud... The Residents. But we'll find a way.
=== DEADLINE EXTENDED!!! ===
Thursday, November 30 2017, 10:00am
Due to high demand, The Cryptic Corp has convinced PledgeMusic to extend the deadline for the I AM A RESIDENT! campaign, but by one additional day only. The campaign ABSOLUTELY ends at midnight Dec 1, West Coast time. If you've put off pledging, there's still time, but THE CLOCK IS TICKING!
https://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/theresidents/
Interested in one final item to sweeten the deal? Well how about a GENUINE AUTHENTIC RESIDENTS COSTUME? Yes, whether it's for your wedding or your loudmouth uncle's funeral, you can look EXACTLY LIKE THE RESIDENTS in their current In Between Dreams tour! Costume includes coat, pants, tie, hat and mask - only $600. (includes Access Pass & song submission) Only ten available!
