NEW RALPH SITE - NEW MOLESHOW DVD

Here's the new MOLESHOW DVD/CD package - it's quite swell.

This is limited to 400 pieces (only 350 made available for purchase), all numbered, each set comes with 12 postcards (5.5" x8.5") with backdrop drawings from the show (6 mole and 6 chub), a miniature shovel (digging not recommended), a chipboard digipak featuring a CD with the Australian radio special (70 minutes) and a single camera DVD of the uninterrupted live MOLESHOW, filmed at the Kabuki Theater in San Francisco. All wrapped up in a printed, drawstring burlap bag.

The video quality is from a single VHS camera back in the early 80's, which is probably a notch or two (or three) under a flip video camera. Audience sound as well. So think of it as yer own lo-fi time travel accessory...peeking thru a rip in the fabric of time, thru a hole in the wall of the theater. So DO NOT expect a high production release - there's not even a menu, just push and play for the gritty Mole reality. The CD is a REAL gem, featuring music and interviews with the Cryptic Corp during the days of the 444 Grove St. warehouse just before the Moleshow tour. A lot of talk of how the 'music industry is changing' and that no one is buying music anymore...back in 1982.

If you are a low number subscriber, please choose that option after clicking the link to buy. AGAIN, this is a PRESALE, shipping by mid-July The discs are NOT cdr or dvdr, but standard replicated discs, if that is important to you.

oh, there's a new RalphAmerica.com site design as well.

2nd pressing of Icky Flix is here!

Boy, we've been slacking on the posts here...sorry.

The 2nd pressing of Icky Flix Live in Seattle is now available. Not a presale, they are sitting in boxes on our floor.

Same material as the first pressing, just a different cover. No hand numbers, but the back cover indicates that we made 350 copies of the 2nd pressing. So if you get one, yer only one of 350 to have one.

Okeedokee...http://ralphamerica.com is the place!

bunny's stuff on the way

Man, there's a bunch of this Bunny crap in our office, and it's a lot to go thru. But here's a pick of the first stack that went out yesterday. The pile was as high as me.

We should all of it out of here (provided it was paid for) by next week some time. However, this has sort of put us behind on printing all of the new Official Product tees/sweatshirts and kids shirts etc - they're coming though. And they really look nice...

anyhow...there's yer bunny update today on his ebay stuff.

Bunny's items for sale on eBAY

So the Bunny video series started up again recently at http://residents.com and Bunny (or is it Roger?) needs to raise some money. So he asked us at Ralph to post his valuables on there. Check out some of the items...






So you can search eBay for "Residents Bunny Boy" and find all this stuff. There's about 60 items. Or search all items sold by seller RalphAmerica - so enjoy the bizarre mispelled descriptions of all these crazy collections.

Trashing Not Available

here's a quick photo i took with my phone of the new Not Available print...

The zip hoodie looks nice too, but couldn't get a good photo with it. Or at least, I didn't spend enough time trying to get a good photo of it.

anyhow, these won't last long, but probably longer than the last items we had that lasted 4 days or so.

kisses...

Buy or die...

Yup, those babies were just up fer 3 days folks. You spoke to us with yer wallets, and we'll try something new.

Thanks for the new ideas, keep them coming...

Meet the Residents tees and new ideas?

HI All
here's a photo of the new Meet the Residents tee, I think it looks quite nice. Rich black.

Besides tshirts (and new music, of course) what other items would YOU like to see Ralph carry?

Towels?

Boxers?

Jackets?

wristbands?

mousepads (anyone use those anymore?)

scarves?

polo shirts?

Any of yer ideas are welcome. Please, we don't really find a phrase such as "Well, I DON'T want you to make anymore of...." or "Well, I'll tell you what I DIDN'T like" cuz that won't be so helpful. And while we'd love to make a Residents Hockey jersey or Pez dispenser, we may not have the numbers to support such an item.

Thanks and be sure to stop by ralphamerica.com to pick up this new Meet the Residents tee, or Not Available tee - and they're both available on a nice hoody as well. AND we're throwing in free WHERE'S HARVEY bumper stickers in every order for these new shirts!

Happy New Year!

This is just funny...and brilliant.

I've been a fan of the "shreds" series this guy does on YouTube, but this has taken that idea to it's fullest. I can't get thru it without crying.

enjoy your holidays Residents fans, we're out of the office until after xmas.

Where's Harvey?

Certainly, where is Harvey?

Below is the latest episode of The Bunny Boy, if you haven't seen it. Seems like things are getting a little weird for ol' Bunny.

Carson, will you help Bunny?

We hear the London show last night was a real good one, leave a comment if you were there.

Also, new over at http://ralphamerica.com are WHERE'S HARVEY bumper stickers and shirts. A little holiday package for you. Not to mention, we found some older limited editions in the secret vault, and thought we'd let some of them out for the holiday season. Stop by and check out what we found!

EuroBunny

The Euro Tour is starting!
Who is going?

Any new information?

Let us know what you yer seeing at the shows!

Friday Bunny Breakdown

Here's the latest Bunny vid, if you haven't watched yet. 

Did you ever want to be a butcher?

How will this help Bunny find Harvey?

Is he just having a flashback?

Did Bunny make the model? Harvey? Someone else?

Is the butcher business even really related at all, or is it something Bunny found at a swap meet?

Feel free to post your correspondence with Bunny, if you've heard from him recently.

YAAAAYYYYAYAYYYYYAYY!!!!

ROCK!

Fresh Tour Goods!

Yes indeedy folks...fresh off of the truck, we have POSTCARDS FROM PATMOS, Residents tour Zip Hoodies, Bunny Boy tour tees, special tour classic eyeball Bunny Boy tees, limited Residents for Presidents white tees and  there's not a whole lot of it.

Stop by ralphamerica.com to git the goods, bub!

Some fun tour pics...

Sent to me from my better half, who many of you have met at the merchandise stand in the last 2 weeks...

Being on the rock and roll road is truly the glamorous life...just revel in the rock and roll bedspread!

Hopping from Santa Cruz

So we had a great turnout in Santa Cruz last night. The theater told us that it was the longest line for merchandise they'd ever seen. Also, Lorrie said all the customers were super nice, offering to bring water, change, etc...just all around good folk. So thanks for being patient and lovely people!

I was there watching rehearsals earlier, and I think you will all enjoy the show quite a bit. I wish I could've seen it with an audience, as I'm sure it was tons better with an enthused crowd.

Just before doors opened I walked my kids up and down the line to look at the funny costumes etc. They knew mom and dad had shirts with eyeballs, but had no idea that there were a bunch of other people who also had these shirts and wore them out in public. They got to see a bit of the show (in rehearsals), and my 3 year old has expressed in interest in going on stage in a bunny outfit (but only to sing Hank Hooper songs.)

Anyhow, so far it looks as if Postcards will be in DC in time for the beginning of the east coast tour. Whew! Enjoy the shows, and bring 5 friends with you...and encourage them to buy something!

PS - mystery boxes have been created for each night. Each night's box is different. Each box consists of 6-9 different items (not for sale as one item, but meant to be browsed thru). They are largely made up of things that we had in small supply, just sitting around the office, that we couldn't put on the site, as there weren't enough of them. Or they are experiments. Or we had a lot of them, and we're trying to be sure everyone knows about them. The Santa Cruz mystery box was sold out before the show started.

Tour Merchandise update

TOUR MERCHANDISE UPDATE:

As many of you are aware, The Residents are soon embarking on The Bunny Boy Tour and your friendly Ralph representative will be on hand at all shows with lovely Residents items, for sale in the lobby (or in some cases, right there in the theater...NYC that's just weird). Anyhow, here's a list of what we will have (or plan to have, at least).

IN the USA: 3 different shirt designs, and one embroidered zip hoodie. We will have the Bunny Boy CD (MVD/SDR, the same one we sell online), Postcards from Patmos (instrumental music from The Bunny Boy internet series on 1 CD, packaged in a double digipak, with pocket, so you can house your BB cd and booklet all in this lovely package - not available in Santa Cruz as the covers won't be finished by then). A metal 'dog tag' with Residents art printed on one side, and a URL/download code for the intermission music that is played druing the shows. The Bunny Boy NOSE! Yes, you too can have a Bunny Boy plastic nose and whiskers for Halloween this year. The very same model worn in the internet series! There's talk of a mystery box...we'll see if it happens. Concept being that if we have time, we'll rummage thru the Ralph vaults, and create a small box of collectible stuff (a different one for each night of the US tour) that folks can browse thru to patch up their collection if they have any missing pieces, etc.

In Europe: 2 shirts and one embroidered zip hoodie. Mute's version of The Bunny Boy CD, Postcards from Patmos, the dog tag (see above), maybe the plastic nose (might be a difficult customs operation), and an embroidered skull cap. Possibly some other items, but nothing has been confirmed. No mystery boxes in europe though.

ABOUT POSTCARDS FROM PATMOS: Many of you are writing to see if you can get a copy online. The answer is MAYBE. PERHAPS. We are making 2000 copies, 1000 for sale on the US tour, and 1000 for sale in Europe. Whatever is leftover will be sold online. We anticipate that there will be some leftover. Considering that the US tour is much shorter and in smaller venues than europe, we think that there will be some left over.

Residents for Presidents, and MORE TOYS

Hey all -
new shirts in - Gary Panter's original RESIDENTS FOR PRESIDENTS design is available on a heather grey tee!

Also, we have got more of the Residents/Cerio designed toys back in stock, so stop by and git some whilst you can!!!

And, question of the day:

What is the most mysterious thing about the Bunny Boy videos so far?

[For those who don't know what I'm referring to, there is an internet event going on at residents.com, every M, W and Fri a new video is posted revealing the mysteries of The Bunny Boy.]

another stupefying video

you asked for it (at least one of you did) so here it is. I spent a lot of time on this, so please don't be critical. my fragile little ego can't take the abuse. your requested video of the bunny boy tee and wallet show!



oh, for those of you opposed to pink, please notice this is far more red than pink. you know who you are...

The Bunny Boy is hopping our way...

sorry for that. But yes, The Bunny Boy will shortly be on our doorstep (before Sept. 2). You can now preorder this at http://www.ralphamerica.com - as a disc by itself, or in a fabulous package deal that includes a new Bunny Boy shirt (with Santa Dog Records logo on the back, and this shirt design is only available in the deal) and a Bunny Boy wallet. Hey, we haven't made one of those before (before you email us, EuroRalph made those other wallets, not us.) BTW, some of you (i look in yer direction paulie) have expressed distaste for velcro wallets...this one is NOT velcro. Just wanted to make that clear.


And don't forget, there will be a fabulous internet video event associated with The Bunny Boy. Several (and I mean, SEVERAL) video episodes will begin on Sept. 1st that are all intertwined to the Bunny Boy release and mystery.

Anyhow, dig it all friends...a good time to be a Residents fan is now.

New Residents Figures

Well, check these out! New Residents 7" toy figures. They come in 4 different Skull flavors and 4 different Eyeball flavors. We have a limited amount right now, and hope to get more soon. So don't be too disappointed if we run out of the first batch quickly. We should be getting more eventually.
Check out this monumentally retarded video I just made.
