shit. these guys I know basically just did that.

I'm kind of obsessed with them, and I want to be their friend.
Their band is like...
Captain Beefheart and Gordan Gano (of the Violent Femmes) singing for a country band... with crazy spastic experimental drums. The lyrics are terrifying, the banjos are twanging, the lap-steel is singing...
so good.

and they just made a CD. Every time I have seen them, they have said "these are all new songs." And they have been.

Yea, it sounds like it was potentially worth starting this thread just to discover this! Where where where?

they are right here in St Louis. They said at their last show that they have a CD, and that they just don't have any copies yet.

this is their myspace but I haven't heard any of the songs on it. I think the drummer guy might be a new addition-- and that girl singing... I have no idea who that is. I like that song when the guy sings it.

I am going to be so mad if they turn out being one of those bands that can't record well.

I kind of made a song with my friend Bryan. It is kind of a lo-fi guitar-pop thing. He is going for the cute and overly-sincere thing, it is for his girlfriend for valentine's day. He is working on putting on the lyrics-- but my off-beat, crappy fake surf guitar part is pretty cool.

except that it is a weird rhythm, a lot.
