Band Management: Blog 44: Godless America Records Vol.6
I am managing “Band A” for one year – and also somehow promoting “Pipe” by The Styrofoam Turtles. Before we get to the next page of this misadventure – I want to talk about mental health.

Band Management: Blog 43: Album Release Party!
Holy Crap Records has become a label – and we have released two singles. One from the notorious “Band A” and the other is “Pipe” from The Styrofoam Turtles. (You can check us out over at bandcamp.com at the Holy Crap Records Label page.)
Muscle Memory by Motel Glory
I feel like shit – now that’s a good opening line to a song. I’m in full of appreciation for scuzzing up some great classic American rock-n-roll.
Song We Like: Run Free by Fertile Hump
Sometime a song just knocks you over. This is it. Maybe the best song I’ve heard all year. Just a killer female vocal, organ, hand claps, rocking and dancing.
Song We Like: Hammer of Thor by French Ketamine
Not from France, but from the Galway underground – this is great Velvet Underground inspired garage rock. This is the kinda stuff Sister Ray would groove on.
Song We Like: Black Rainbow by Crooked Ghost
We have totally fallen in love with Crooked Ghost. They have this amazingly rich atmospheric sound, that is both reminiscent of the 80s and better than the 80s.
Band Management: Blog 42: Hear it on the radio…
I am managing “Band A” for a year – to see how far I can promote this band within the music industry. On Monday evening I got a message from a friend that WNCW had announced they were going to play “Band A” during that hour.
Song We Like: Wayward Saint of Day Drunks by Cloud City Caskets
This is a complicated band – in the best way. The ingredients they throw together in this song make up the meatiest stew.
Song We Like: Everything is Broke by The Living Deads
Straight up rock-n-roll. Straight up rockabilly. Just give me that driving, galloping beat, some stand up bass – and the most romantic lament of all time: Everything is Broke – But Our Love.
