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.
Cerveza Muscular announces the release of our first studio recording, now available on CD. Two live videos of songs from the CD are now posted on this site. Huge thanks to Terry Katzman who produced the CD, and to Will Maravelas from 14:59 Studios for the recording, mix and master. We had a great time working with Will and Terry. Ricky at CopyCats was extremely helpful in completing the project. Molly Gates art is excellent, and makes a great T shirt.
Thanks to everyone that came out to our CD Release show at First Avenue’s Seventh Street Entry, it was the second time we’ve been fortunate enough to play that room, opening for Richey Ramone on our third gig ever. Thanks to Ross and Eli for their help, Ross had all the bands sounding great. Thanks to Rank Strangers, Blackbird Bridge and Howling Andy Hound and The Blood Shot for joining us on the bill.
Thanks to Barely Brothers Records in Saint Paul, Spencer and Mike are second to none when hosting an in store show. We had a great time playing with Ringout! and The Silverteens, three scorching sets to fill the record store throughout a Saturday afternoon.
HiFi Hair In Store, Friday May 19th, 6:00 PM.
And finally, Cerveza Muscular’s next show is an in store at HiFi Hair and Records, a great store founded by John Kass and Johnny Clifford between Loring Park and The Basilica in downtown Minneapolis. It’s a great little store, come on down and help us fill the place.
With an alaman left
And a sly slip of the lip
You’ll soon be dancing with that beauty
With the broken hip
With a do si do to the right
Swing your partner ‘round
It’s like polka on ice
‘Cause they’re all falling down
Chorus:
It’s the
Broken Hip Polka
It’s the
Broken Hip Polka
It’s the Broken Hip Polka
It’s a gas
You’ll laugh and laugh and laugh
Like your off your ass on the nitrous
With an alaman left
And a sly slip of the lip
You’ll soon be dancing with that beauty
With the titanium hip
Second Chorus:
Don’t worry there’s a doctor here at the dance
This Broken Hip Polka just might be your last chance
It’s The
Broken Hip Polka
It’s The
Broken Hip Polka
