Note: "Someone" was written by the Hated. This version recorded 1995 with permission. "A Thousand Hours" written by The Cure, featured on the "Concise Pink Pig Atlas" in Argentina. It was a very limited compilation of every Cure song ever written. Due to it's obscurity I have put it up for download, so enjoy! Also available for download is one of the last songs I released in the solo/acoustic realm, appropriately titled "Farewell." This song appeared only on vinyl in Germany in 1999, and had a pressing of only 300 copies. Listen, download, enjoy! Thank you.
The Deadwood Divine: abridged version.
The Deadwood Divine is Tom LoMacchio. Some labeled it "acoustic punk," others "acoustic emo," or "acoustic new wave," and some just called it folk music. It was an outlet and home for songs that couldn't work with Plunger, the band I was part of for a few years. It was perhaps late 94 or early 95 when the first show was played. It was a typical punk show in someone's living room. Three songs were nervously played, including a cover of Choke's "Stumbling," which was a duet with friend Sherry Eggers. The short set was met with applause, and so a year was spent writing and recording on a 4-track cassette recorder with friend Jason Eaton (who was quite the master of the Tascam 424). Contributions were made by Ryan Shelkett and Joseph Mattson. January 1996 saw the release of the collected 4-track recordings in the form of The Deadwood Divine full length LP and CD on Spearfinger Records, run by Daniel McVey. Daniel was very instrumental, and for many reasons. He offered to take me and his Ford Escort on the road and tour the entire US for two months that summer. It was a growing experience to say the least. We played the shows, making friends, sleeping on floors, in rest stops and on sidewalks. We got mugged at gunpoint, escaped tornados, and dealt with a few other unmentionable difficulties. In essence, it was a beginning...
