Hi Andy and Jen,
Got to your site via Bradley’s Alamanac and have been poking around a bit. Glad to find it, more Boston music writing is good to see!
I’d like to introduce my band to you - below are links to my website(s). I’d also like to invite you to come out to the show we are playing at PA’s Lounge on Monday, November 13th. It is with two great bands from Oregon (Testface and Tractor Operator).
It seems like you like good music, so you might like what we do.
Very best,
Brian

hey, I recently saw Township open for the Fiery Furnaces at the Middle East, and it was one of the best performances I’ve ever seen. I was especially impressed by the epic first song they played, but it was not on their CD. I was wondering if you guys had audio of it, and if so, if you could play it on your show. Thatd be sweet.
Much obliged,
Rob

Furvis is pretty awesome. We played them on episodes 7 and 9. I haven’t finished adding the bands to the list yet, but they’ll be up there soon!

Thought I’d toss out an attaboy and attagirl to a fantastic website. I found you thru http://www.doug-march.com and showed up to hear the Swearing at Motorists flophouse gig (mad fun by the way). I’m from the Dayton Ohio area, home of the world’s greatest songster, Robert Pollard, but hearing all the great tunes you feature on the site makes me long for a return trip to Beantown. Keep up the fine work!!!!!

Los Angeles based SPINDRIFT plays The Abbey Lounge on Saturday 9/6/08
Spindrift Official Website
Spindrift Official Myspace Profile
Hailed by critics as “the most relevant band in the world today” and leaders of the neo-cosmic cowboy revolution, Spindrift deserves your immediate attention.
Its an exciting summer for these Los Angeles based Psychedelic Western pioneers. They’ve released a new EP via Vacancy Records. The feature film they produced and starred in, The Legend Of God’s Gun, drops August 12th on DVD in the US and throughout Europe. And they have a track in the new Quentin Tarantino produced film Hell Ride (starring Dennis Hopper and Michael Madsen) that comes out August 8th!
Listen to the “Beauty” (off the new EP) by clicking HERE and come on down to The Abbey Lounge on Saturday September 6th for the show.
What the press is saying about Spindrift:
“[Spindrift makes] you feel like you’ve been granted access to the distant memories of a two-bit-saloon harlot as she watches her nameless lover ride off into the sunset.” – LA Weekly
“Be ready for some psychedelic rock that leaves you feeling like you’ve accidentally taken acid and found yourself on the set of a spaghetti Western.” – The News Journal, Delaware
“Spindrift are living the American dream, were it written by acid-popping UFO enthusiasts with a hard-on for John Wayne” - The Salt Lake City Weekly
“Thomas and his musical cohorts are creating a scene that embraces the outlaw because of it. He calls this shady hombre the “spiritual vigilante,” adding a psychedelic ingredient to the mix. It is in the old films and music of Leone, Morricone and the general spirit of the Wild West that he and other neo-cosmic cowboys have excavated an essence that seems more relevant today than ever before, a surreal and dark cowboy anti-hero for a spiritually and ethically decaying world.” – LA Alternative
“Saddle on up for the Spindrift experience, which is sure to feel like wandering out of the sun-baked dunes of Death Valley while clutching a Flying Burrito Brothers LP and gumming a mouthful of peyote” - The Portland Mercury
“It is this honesty, visionary thinking and musical acumen which makes Spindrift the most relevant band in the world today.” – Soma Scene
