From the desk of what’s left of Rob Miller:
Now that, a week later, our ears have stopped ringing, our cholesterol levels have moderated, and our livers are no longer tender to the touch, I wanted to post a quick note regarding our recent shenanigans at SXSW in Austin TX.

As you may recall, Jeremy Mackinder, who has played bass in Whitey Morgan & the 78s, used to check in with us from the road with some entertaining and...educational...posts. Now he's playing with Deadstring Brothers (it's all relative over here at Bloodshot Records), who are on tour supporting their new album Cannery Row, out Tuesday 4/9. We'll...Read more

Every once in a while, we get missives from the road. Now, our bands do not travel in Gold-plated buses, or fly from show to show in planes with nekked ladies spray painted on them. No, these are working musicians. Emphasis on work.
