Sounds Like
a guy singing, playing guitar and stomping his foot...hollerin’ pickin’ and stompin’ into one microphone plugged into a prehistoric reel-to-reel.
No second takes, no overdubs, no multi-tracking, or any other form of trickery or funny stuff.
Howdy, my name is Zak, I play guitar in a rockabilly band called THE ALLEY DUKES and (once in a blue moon or, more specifically, every Halloween) a psychobilly Misfits tribute band called THE MORIBUNDS. I suffer from permanent hearing damage inflicted upon me by old surf-instrumental band THE TREBLEMAKERS who are operational once again.
When I need a break from the noise I like to play blues.
I don't have a CD for sale at the moment, but you can get all the songs on this player on my soundclick page!
And I'd have to agree about the couch, haha... but there is no amount of alcohol I could consume to take away the pain in my feet. I was pretty desperate haha.
You're right, and I probably shouldn't have sat on that couch either... it certainly was a great adventure, though! Thanks again. :)
Let me know if there is any vinyl kicking around that I can buy... if not, that's fine. It's my own drunk fault for not buying it in the first place haha.
