I'm way late on this one, but if you're able to spook out in the pre-Christmas season then I'd suggest you head over this way. The handful of psychobilly vocal tracks suggest that influence over all the tracks, but there's a surprising amount of variety despite keeping a consistent tone. "Cramped" sits somewhere between an obvious Cramps nod and Link Wray, and "L'Hiver" and "The Buzzards Claw" have a similar slow crawl. "Surfing Sasquatch", "Berenice" are more familiar horror surf, while "Blue Drag" has a Flat Duo Jets sound and "Pants Party" gets downright jazzy.

Last week was a blast, doing entirely Spaghetti Western. We're heading back to our normal semi-modern set but with a bunch of new releases like Stories From Samehill, The Cavaleros, Tremolo Beer Gut, The Green Reflectors, and West Samoa Surfer League. Make sure ya tune in at 4pm Central
Last week's playlist 11/23/15: Spaghetti for Thanksgiving
Stories from Shamehill are a three-piece from Amsterdam, and though they've been together since 2012 I believe this is their debut EP. They have a solid modern surf sound, not overdoing the reverb and keeping a good upbeat pace. My favorite is the relentless momentum of "The Cannonball Rum Theme", though it is always nice to have a plain ol' wave-rider like "Toes on the nose, Bros".
YES! I know y'all like the Halloween show but I LOVE doing Spaghetti Western stuff before thanksgiving. Or really, I love doing Spaghetti Western shows, doesn't matter when. Plenty of Morricone, sure, but a few other genuine soundtracks, some Surfaders, Los Plantronics, Moe Greene Specials, Spindrift are really going to make this a cold-blooded killer with no rules.
Last week: 11/16/15
Just two months ago Blackball Bandits released their debut demo, which I thought was too good to be called a demo. They've also called this one a demo, and at this point they're really pushing it. This is a little bit different than the last one: not as rough-and-tumble, less punk and less spaghetti western.
