Getting A Face(book) Lift

Posted on Wednesday, 19th May 2010 /


We've been prettying up our Facebook page using the pretty damn ace RootMusic. If you want a gander, pop along to listn.to/thisisfakediyrecords.


So it's only nearly six months since we filmed this, and we've finally got it up. The Victorian English Gentlemens Club play Periscope Envy at La Flèche d'Or, Paris last December.

Duels Free Gig

Posted on Tuesday, 18th May 2010 / Duels


HRRRNNNKKK! Duels return to the live stage with 'a free shindig' (their words - expect shindiggery!) on 8th June 2010 at Milo in Leeds, ahead of their trip to the Imagine Festival in Basle.

The evening will feature guest DJ’s and a full band set. The poster, we'll think you'll agree, is bloody lovely.

Badges & Samplers

Posted on Saturday, 15th May 2010 /


Normal badges are great, but if you want something with a bit of class you'll want this. Our five sided logo on a flashy enamel pin; think of it as our version of the Blue Peter badge.

More than that, every order for a DIY enamel pin badge will receive a download code (generally within 48 hours - we send them out manually!) for a special 7 track DIY Records sampler. Everyone's a winner.

If you want to pick one up, go here.
