Joyful Noise recently announced its new “Almost Live from Joyful Noise” series, which features limited edition singles from some of our favorite artists, recorded at the label’s Indianapolis-based performance space.
Tracked live in the empty space (hence almost live), each release in the series is cut on the spot using a 1940s record lathe and is limited to just 100 copies on hand-made 7-inch records with screen-printed jackets. The semi-regular series — which will produce a new release every month or two — kicked off with a special performance by the Melvins. With the help of Teri from Le Butcherettes, the band recorded a cover the the Bikini Kill classic “Rebel Girl,” which Noisey notes is “snarling meaner and nastier than the original track.”
While the limited edition 7-inch is now sold out, you can watch a video of the rare performance via YouTube.
