Around Americana in three links or less.
January 17th, 2009 by autopsy4 in Bombardier Manifesto, NewsHey everyone. Here’s some shit I wanted to get to or saw this week that I wanted to pass along:
- Ever heard of $5 Cover: Memphis? Yeah, me neither. Apparently, it’s a faux-reality show that’s gonna be airing on MTV. The cool thing is that it will feature ninebullets.net faves Lucero. Looks like that major label deal is already paying off. You go boys! Here is the trailer:
- Some good news has come down the pipe from Virgil over on Suburban Home Records. In the coming month, we’re gonna see a new release from Drag The River, Bad at Breaking Up, a collection of 7″-only tracks, B-sides, and tracks from their split LP with The Dents. If that wasn’t cool enough, Jon Snodgrass will also release his first solo effort, Visitor’s Band, which features guest spots by Two Cow Garage, Chad Rex, Joey Erg, Chris Pierce, Eric Powers, and others. Here are some tracks from those releases:
- Finally, the folks over on Twangnation brought it to my attention that famed New York blues guitarist, Popa Chubby, is gonna give this whole country music thing a try with his wife in a project called Vicious Country. Out of the gate, they’re covering Hank III’s song, Straight To Hell. Not a bad way to start Popa! Here is the video:
