Refrigerator

Shrimper

Refrigerator & Shrimper celebrate 25 years together with the release of the first Refrigerator record in four years. “Temple City” is the first record of theirs to feature electric guitar, feedback squalls and electric bass in over a decade after the all acoustic band record “Bottles of Make Up” & their last record, “Dangerous”, a stillborn recording of demos. In the year previous to this one, vocalist Allen Callaci recorded an album with Adam Lipman (2013’s “Glacial”), Dennis Callaci a record with Simon Joyner helmed by Jarvis of Woods (2013’s “New Secrets”) and the band released a couple extremely limited & now out of print cassette only releases. “Temple City” was recorded in full just prior to harrowing health issues for vocalist Allen Callaci that ultimately led to a heart transplant. The band went back into the studio with long time engineer Steve Folta after Callaci’s full recovery and rerecorded a number of songs as well as a few new ones that comprise the 17 songs which make up “Temple City”.

The band will be playing select shows around the country & Allen Callaci will be doing a book tour in the new year to promote his book “Heart Like a Starfish” due out in February on the Pelekinesis imprint.

“Temple City” is out April 14th, 2015 on Shrimper Records!
