Sounds Like
music to drink rusty red wine from a broken bottle on the railroad tracks with
or
cicadas in an orchestra pit
We come from Ratsylvania, where we would dance, play music, fight,
strip
off all our clothes, blacksmith, and generally carry on without work of
a
mundane sort. A few of us decided to venture away from our past haven
and
found ourselves traveling dusty freight cars through a strange
God-soaked
place called the U.$.A..
About the music: Some of it we find at campfires when we travel around,
some we buy on the black market in exchange for moonshine, some we
discover in our dreams about life back in Ratsylvania.
I haven't been by in a while. Hi! I've just about gotten my album finished. I think it's going to be better than the first one! I haven't been playing out much thanks to the studio, but I have some shows and stuff coming up. Also new shirts! What have you been doing?
Hey thanksgiving, take this! A song written by my old group Bluntsworth four or five years ago.
"Gravy On My Tateys"
Crappy sound quality back then, ouch! The songwriting is still there though I think. What do you think, is it a new classic holiday song?
featuring kayoko masuda (voice), andreas geyer (bass clarinet) and others total playing time: 73 minutes comes as a factory-made cd with eight-page booklet
Hey Accordion Death Squad, Are you all gona be in C-ville the 14th and 15th of August to play a show for The Petrol Free Gypsy Carnival Tour? We are riding bicycles from Harrisonburg to VA Beach and stopping to play music in every city along the way to promote petrol-free travel.
We are in the process of booking a show at The Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative.

I know this is a random question, but based on your name and the fact that one of you plays accordion I was wondering if you could tell me: Is there anyone in the Lynchburg area that you know of that could teach me to play accordion?
YOu'd like Benka Borodovsky Bordello Band - look them up on MySpace (from NZ) currently in Berlin!! I jammed with them last new year - on THEIR accordion!!
