We’re very excited to announce that we have partnered up with Luxwell Records in Taiwan to spread the Cougar Quest of World Dominationâ„¢ to the far corners of the world. Luxwell is importing Up The Empire’s Light Rides The Super Major as our first partnered release. To see the release page in lovely Chinese characters that we can’t even pretend to read, go here.

Up The Empire has been named number 10 on a top 15 of new Must-Have Albums by Yahoo! and Rhapsody!

If you’ve happened across this month’s issue of SPIN Magazine, you may of noticed a great live photo of our own little KaiserCartel performing in Minneapolis.
