HELP OUR FRIENDS RELEASE THEIR RECORD


During the middle of the Lemonland recording sessions, I had my friends, These Magnificent Tapeworms come down from Illinois to Gypsy Farm to record their second record. Here we are some 5 months and two sessions later and the record is 90% done. They need help releasing it. Let me take a moment to tell you about these guys.
I call their sound "Desert Music" that can easily be compared to Link Wray and The Cramps but this is no copy cat band by any means. Just two Ex-Pizza boys and their drummer Joe, who I've never seen in anything but a dress, doing what they love the most. They are touring all the way down to Florida, which starts tonight in Jacksonville to stir up some buzz for the new record. You can help them release it (and get some really cool stuff at the same time) by donating to their Kickstarter page here. Instead of spending that $5 in your pocket on Phone Sex cards, give it to someone who will put it to good use!
Listen to them and look up their tour dates here.

Spillege Recap





Many thanks to Nate Mitchell for his supreme hospitallity which included his collection of crock pots and pork....and the man makes a damn fine Hunch Punch.

But of course it would not have been possible without the Spillege folks always being down for a smashing time. Thanks fellas.

Last but not least, the bands. The night began with a set from Timmy Tumble and I can honesly say that "tumble" rings true in his extreamly physical and entertaining show. Next up were The Trashcans, Nates band...and quickly becoming one of my favoirte garage bands. They'll be up at Gypsy Farm in June to record material for their debut..very excited.

After The Cans came Pinche Gringo, a NC based one-man band, all though he had two friends joining him during his set which left everone's ears dripping wet and wanting more. We closed the musical night out with select numbers from our upcoming Lemonland record and there was also some nudity involved, which is never a bad thing. Will be posting footage from that soon, so keep an eye.

We all can not wait for the next blow out at the Spillege and if you were there then you know why. See you tomorrow, May 13th at the Star Bar in Atlanta.
