Say hello. We don't bite. Usually. :)
Oh yeah, and please be sure to check out my good pal Shawnyflakes. He's the dude who put together the dulcet tones you're hearing right now (Am Loop), and he happens to be a musical mad scientist of the highest order. Think Doc from Back To The Future movies with as much funk as Stevie Wonder and a beard of doom that even Paul Bunyan would be proud of. Shawny is the man and his grooves are infectious. Be sure to say hi if you visit him!

Who I'd like to meet: The River Bottom Nightmare Band
Voodoo Court (VC) has just released three new songs in advance of their first CD release since 2002. Be the first on your block to listen to the rockabilly style vocal “Gitmo a Go Go”, as VC casts off their traditional American surf roots to ride the crest of the new American tradition of waterboarding. Listen in glee to the Beach Boy style vocal of “Route 69” as VC takes you down a bumpy beach road of frayed bikini tops and cherry flavored Pez. And for those of you longing for the days of your youth, when you listened to instrumental surf while roasting chestnuts in front of the fireplace with Grandma, you can recapture those memories while listening to “Crossing the Border”, a song so profound, that INS officials have asked for the rights to use it as their theme song.
These songs are now available for online download on iTunes, http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/voodoocourt , and other places where music that does not exist in the physical world are sold.
Hope to see everyone at the free show this Saturday at Wax Trax to be in the new Denver County Death March video. Check out our last blog for all the info.
