Free BBR comp download

Including tracks from The Demon Beat, Stephen MacDonald & The Okay Win, Dandelion Snow, Greg Loftus, The Resonators, Jude Universer, Khaos Kloud and more, we think it's worth checking out here, at a link that we're fairly certain is not spam, like that stupid MySpace bulletin said when we clicked on it.
Tucker probably tried to send the link over a MySpace message, and it got counted as spam, naturally.
Yeah we just checked it and it works, so don't hesitate; swing by the BBR MySpace, check out the artists, and check out the Terminal Ballistics Volume I comp.

Cool band and a cool flyer
We're looking forward to hearing new stuff from Adam, Tucker and Jordan. And we always love seeing the show art that Jimbo comes up with. Good times all around; check out The Demon Beat (w/The Receiver and Ladybird) if you're out that way and you haven't yet.
AF takes it to those A&R guys
We came across this pretty cool blog from Attack Flamingo's Sean Knisely on the need (or lack thereof) for A&R type middle men. The post is over at their MySpace profile, along with some new tunes they've recently uploaded.
Check out Attack Flamingo, check out their tunes, and why not, since you've read this much, read our recent big feature on the band.

Help Hillbilly Proud stop the thieves!

Their "Tired and Leaving" blog is a must read for all West Virginia residents.
Having been given a few of their DVDs, stickers and even a t-shirt, we were upset to hear about people ripping off their awesome logo for profit. Below is a reposted MySpace bulletin from Keith McCoy, who runs Hillbilly Proud.
The reports are no longer trickling in about people stealing our logo and selling it at flea markets and other events. They are now flooding in. Please spread the word not to buy off of these thieves.
We do not sell at any flea markets. If you see these people in action let them know what you think of them taking money away from a small West Virginia business that has fought for five years to survive.
Thank you,
Keith McCoy

Say It Ain't So: Sarasota's Last Show
We won't revisit the time we got to see them at the Parrot, losing the memory card with footage of the band at the bar, and the "unpleasantness" that followed. Thanks to Dave Cantrell of The Concept, we got to hear their 10-song eponymous CD last year; one of our infamous "best of" for 2008, and, we got cool Sarasota PBR-themed stickers!
But this Saturday night will be your last chance to see these dudes rock. Here's what guitarist Jay Thomas said on the event description on their MySpace page:
We've met a lot of awesome people and made some great friends over the last 9 years. Met and played with a lot of great bands. Drank ourselves sick countless times. Thanks to everyone who has supported us, said anything nice to us, bought us a round of drinks, or just came out to a show. You people really are what kept everything together. come out and have one last drink with us! and spread the word. Let's riot! we love you all! Goodbye. - Jay
Thomas, when reached for comment, lamented that it was "too bad that things aren’t working out for us," but, spilling the beans on a potential Sarasota reunion tour and more, said that "...I'm sure it won't be the last you hear from us guys. We've got other projects in the works. Thanks for all the love! We do appreciate it."
Sarasota plays with Down Goes Frazier and Blacklist Royals Saturday night at Shamrock's Irish Pub in Huntington.

Italianfest this weekend
Highlighted by The Concept, The Gentlemen, Cryptorchid Chipmunk and Dangerkat, this lineup is worth checking out if you're up that way.
How will our Irish friends in The Gentlemen deal with all the Italians showing up for the music, food and maybe beer? Will there be soccer riots, or ethnic fence mending?
We don't know, but it sounds like a cool fest.
