Artist: Machinefabriek
Title: Huiswerk

Catalog Number: KC04
Format: 7"
$8 North America / $10 World
mp3 | Reviews

The same day I bought a second-hand Boss Dr. Sampler I connected my guitar to it and recorded the basic material for these two 4-minute tracks. Less drone, more composed. A bit like my Huis EP I guess, that's (partly) why the title hints to that. It's Machinefabriek's more playful side.

Limited to 500 copies (381 on black vinyl, 119 on color*), packaged in a full color offset-printed glue pocket sleeve designed by Rutger.

*Vinyl color breakdown:
  • purple: 64
  • grey: 30
  • pink: 22
  • white: 3
All orders get colored vinyl until we run out.

$15 North America / $18 World
mp3 | Reviews

A compilation of noise and experimental composition from 4 Vancouver artists: Flatgrey, The Rita, Sick Buildings and Taskmaster. This release highlights some of the key players in Vancouver's harsh noise/anti-music community. Each artist involved has one side to unleash a torrent of harsh noise/cassette collage/overloaded distortion/mechanical grinding. Mastered at 45 rpm for maximum sound quality, pressed on red vinyl in an edition of 300 copies, packaged in a b&w offset-printed sleeve featuring a photo of the parties involved at the corner of Hastings and Main.

RECORD RELEASE PARTY: October 8th 2008 @ The Cobalt, 917 Main St., Vancouver BC.

MP3 sample is 15 seconds from each side with 1 second of silence in between.



Artist: Lasse Marhaug
Title: If The Revolution Could Start Right Now

Catalog Number: KC02
Format: 1-sided 7"
$6 North America / $8 World
mp3 | Reviews

Lasse Marhaug has a discography as long as your arm and a list of previous collaborators that would scare the pants off us if they were all in the same room, but that wouldn't matter if he didn't drop the heavy jams. And Ketchup Cavern number 2 is the heaviest yet! This is a physical record, instead of someone twisting knobs it sounds like someone slapping you around and yelling in your ear for five minutes and five seconds. Total radness!

1-sided 7" record, limited to 248 numbered copies, b&w cover.

Artist: Seagull
Title: The Conqueror Worm

Catalog Number: KC01
Format: 1-sided 7"
$6 North America / $8 World
mp3 | Reviews

Debut release on newly formed Ketchup Cavern label, first vinyl release by Vancouver experimental musician Michael Piercey AKA Seagull after numerous self-released cassettes/CDRs. Performed using homemade noise generators and a gang of distortion pedals, The Conqueror Worm features 5 minutes of poorly-recorded static, roaring distortion (and some mysterious crackle added by the pressing plant). Guaranteed to confuse your neighbors.

1-sided 7" record, limited to 180 numbered copies, b&w cover.
