Just a quick announcement that my country band will be playing at the Tritone this Friday night. We haven’t exactly come up with a name yet, so for the evening we’re (ugh) The Phillbillies. Dan, who I share bass and guitar duties with, came up with “Tears for Beers”, which I think is [...]

Friday Videos: Mix Tape Edition

Posted by Brendan on March 23rd, 2007 filed in Rock-n-roll, funk, hardcore, heavy metal, punk rock, youtube

My sister and I grew up listening to hardcore, metal, and OMFUG. I’ve drifted more into country music, and lost track of quite a few of my old tapes and records (yes, records, those shiny black slabs of grooved vinyl: how I love them and miss them).
My sister on the other hand [...]
