OUT NOW! Attack of the One Man Bands! International Double CD Compilation Featuring 58 bands!
This Double-CD comp features a whopping 58 Bands from 18 States and 12 different Countries. Many tracks are unreleased songs or out-of-print rarities. Styles range from Rockabilly to Garage, Punk to Bluegrass... all tinted with various shades of eccentric genius. Many bands opt for the Lo-Fi approach, recording in one live take on a 4-track, while others offer fuller studio tracks. Nothing compares to the artistic purity and ingenuity of a One Man Band, whether it is engineering complex musical contraptions or clever set-ups, or just simply the ability to deliver songs with uncompromised personal character. All bands included here perform as One Man Bands on stage, and are currently active.

Been kickin' around in various corners of the garage for 22 years now, playing with (among others):
The Buzzards (Ottawa, 1987) The 14th Wray (Kingston, 1990-91) The Minstrels (New Orleans/Montreal, 1992) The Deadbeatniks (Kingston, 1992-93) The Fiends (Vancouver, 1994-97) The Knurlings (Ottawa, 1997-98) The Desecrators (Ottawa, 1998-99) The Orange Alabaster Mushroom (Kingston/Ottawa, 1991-present)
Mississippi Grover Brief Bio: Mississippi Grover is NOT from Mississippi, though he did ride a train through there once. Sometime during the late 1990s in Ottawa (Canada), local garage punk duo The Desecrators asked their friend Greg Watson to play some blues harp for a couple of songs. Since every blues harp player needs an appropriate name, “Mississippi Grover” was born. Grover eventually became the full-time organist for The Desecrators, in addition to playing harp, guitar and accordion.
Fast forward to early 2005: The Desecrators have long disbanded, Greg has moved to rural Ontario with his family and Mississippi Grover has been born again as a one-man band, playing swampy garage and primitive blues punk stuff, also known as rock 'n' roll. He has been driving around Ontario and western Quebec since then, playing for audiences of all sorts and dazzling them with his moonshiny gumbo of sound. That's right, he's a one-man travelling-medicine-show, and his tonic is SONIC, baby!
