With 6 artists currently signed to FTI Records, it's hard to keep up with the amount of shows we have going on all the time. Seems like for each one we play we book at least 2 more. But hey, we've been doing it that way for the past 5 years, did you think we were gonna slow down? Hell no! Lucky for you though, you can keep up with everything with just one click of a mouse, no need to browse through a dozen different pages. Just hit up
FTIrecords.com, it's automatically updated daily with our blog, facebook posts, upcoming shows, you tube videos, and anything else FTI releated. You can even grab our Reverbnation show widgets, tune widgets & video widgets right off the page and post them wherever you want. They update themselves whenever we add anything to them, even after you paste them, so you don't even have to do a thing after that to keep up to date. And of course if you're extra lazy, you don't have to check our damn page at all!!

Speaking of shows, here's a run down of what we got in the works for the next couple months:

Live from Dewey's Pub. . . IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!! That's right, Feb. 19th marks the first of a series of dirt-cheap Saturday night shows put on by FTI Records at various bars, clubs & small venues around the state of CT. Each show will be a new "season" starring a new cast of performers at a different location than the previous one. "Season One" takes place at Dewey's Pub in Seymour and features a mix of hip hop & metal acts including 5:AM, Kali Ma, BC Connect, Sketch tha Cataclysm, DV8, & Raiza Rapz, all for only 5 bucks.

Our homies and last summer's tour mates Hy-Town Records have a crazy line up put together as only they can, and it's going down at one of our favorite venues to play, Tammany Hall in Worcester, MA. 5:AM will be performing along with CT metal Gods Dead By Wednesday & RI's wicked shit king Q-Strange, as well as Hy-Town's own iNFiNiTTi & Reject just to name a few. Peep the event page for the whole shebang. Oh, and this one's an all ages show so feel free to bring that little young female you've been trying to tap, just keep her far away from the bar!
Sat. March 12, 2011:
Kryptik will be a guest judge for the craziness that is "Bogus Idol" put on by Bogus Trizzy and our friends at Panic Productions, and will also be performing later in the night. This is not a regular show, it's going to be complete insanity as you can guess by the name of it. All we can tell you right now is that it's going down at 6:00pm at Golf Dome- 1 Keys Way in West Warwick, RI, and that the infamous Mulch will be engaging in a song for song American Idol style judged contest against Rob-U-Blind. Stay tuned for more details.

Long time friend and FTI Records supporter known simply as Phatty. . . wait, fuck that this man needs no introduction. Phatty has been down with FTI Records before we ever even played a show in CT, before Kryptik ever pressed a CD, before we even had a damn myspace page or website. Phatty is the friggin man, that's you need to know. Well that and the fact that he's putting on his 3rd show at Tammany Hall, appropriately titled "Phatty 3." on March 13th. It features FTI Records artists Kryptik & James Joyce, as well as an all star line-up including Political Animals, Fury, Masstapeace, Bogus Trizzy, & more TBA. Full details have not yet been released, we'll keep you posted. Oh, but we can tell you that Kryptik has granted Phatty the power to choose all the songs he will be performing for his entire set at this show, because Phatty is the friggin man.
