We were asked at the last minute and it was great fun…always fun playing basement parties. Rick was uncanny and unrehearsed, always willing to see what can happen when someone wants to take a bash at it with CERVEZA MUSCULAR
This cheesy little video was my lame attempt at a promo video for the first CD. It is the 12th track on the CD…last but not least…in the words of Monty Python’s Graham Chapman…”Every One a Maserati.” Andrea Rugg would probably not include it in her photography portfolio, but I find it charming in it’s simplicity. It was first posted on FaceSchnook, but I’ve tried to share it as much as possible. This CD is now available at the following record stores, tell them the bass player sent you…
Barely Brothers Records, HiFi Hair & Records, Roadrunner Records, Treehouse Records, Extreme Noise Records, Down In The Valley, Know Name Records, Electric Fetus, as well as at Dave Foley’s shop on 38th & Grand. If they’re out, tell them to let me know and I’ll get them more copies. My contact information is at the top of the website.
Stephanie Forsyth joined us on stage, as she did on the recording, for track #3, Flint Power and Water. We were joined by Rank Strangers, Blackbird Bridge and Howling Andy Hound and The Blood Shot. Raucous night, and the new shirts were a decided hit…get yours now…the cover art by Molly Gates on a high quality orange shirt. Thanks to Sally Kiser for the video.
This video was shot by Paul Lundgren during a great afternoon of music at Barely Brothers Records in Saint Paul. Barely Brothers is located near University and 280 on Raymond, between Keys and Foxy Falafel. They are really hospitable, and the afternoon went far too quickly, just like the insufficient number of hot Italian sausages I BBQ’d on the grill out back. Someone posted a video of The Silverteens set and you can see me through the window, pulling the sausage off of the grill. I should have grabbed one while I had the chance. Huge thanks to Ringout! and The Silverteens for their great sets. They really set a high bar for us to follow, and we gave it a ripping shot. Thanks to all who filled the record store during the three sets.
