Proving that, indeed, it's all for the children, SIT & Die Co. preaches "Don't Try This At Home, Kids" at a recent appearance at the world famous Rodeo Bar in New York City. Funny, but from the stage one could swear that the audience was actually listening. Kind thanks to Little Lenore Koppelman for the clip!



Company founder Michael McMahon sings, plays the electrified "takeoff" guitar and composes both heart and novelty songs, while Garth Powell anchors the beat on his "doghouse" bass and harmonizes along with flat-top rhythm guitar player "Jukejoint" Jonny Hammer. The band members number only three, but at times you'd swear that there's nearly four of them.

InfluencesThe SIT & Die Co. songbook is often likely to feature a number by one of the many Hillbilly, Rhythm & Blues or "Rockabilly" artists that they so admire, possibly along the likes of Hank Williams, Hank Penny, Bill Carlisle, Little Richard, Carl Perkins, Don Gibson, Billy Ward or Bob Newman, but folks seem to go for their original compositions best, so that's what predominates, with a good number of them being about animals, for no particular reason. Chickens, monkeys and jackrabbits aside, novelty songs make for a good time in a nightclub and that suits the SIT & Die boys just fine!

Sounds LikeThe hillbilly boogie -- as in the kind of music that makes the beer bottles bounce on the tables, according to famed piano pounder Moon Mullican.

SIT & Die Co. does its darndest to keep those bottles bouncing, too, with a rollicking stage show that is never short on entertainment. Always dressed in their gabardine best and with a boot polish shine, the boys like to keep it lively -- whether giving out with an uptempo hillbilly number, a shuffling blues ballad or a flat out "real gone" rocking roller -- and all with plenty of snappy banter mixed in to keep things moving. Could be that you might find SIT & Die Co. to be just what your manufacturing requirements call for!

What's this, SIT & Die Co.'s picture in the New York Post? The successful 4th Annual Brooklyn Country Music Festival has since passed and the newsprint edition has long since been recycled, but click on the article below for a more legible online version at NYPost.com. And thanks, ace columnist Mary Huhn! (Note: SIT & Die Co. does not wish to promote nor condone the senseless act of "gang twanging". Yes, we did it once, but only because it was part of an initiation rite and we really, really wanted to fit in with the other twangers. 'Nuf said, yo.)

That's right, jazz. We're swinging it out here in Philly. And yes, I'm still the same old me, Michael. Just much, much happier. Come on out and play sometime; it's only a 2 hour ride.
Surely your flivver can handle a 2 hour ride?

PS: Jon, what does one do when that happens to a guitar string? Do you put it in a shoe box, and bury it in the yard? Do ya flush it down the terlet? You played that string with ALL YOUR MIGHT! May it R.I.P.!!!
