Our feed has been a bit dry lately. Here is a little something to moisten the membrane. I made this one many moons ago. Up to this point, I had been mostly recording songs on my Tascam 424 mkii. This was the first song I made using a DAW. It's just me fiddling with some guitar, bass, drums, and some shakers; but this track has a special place in my…

if it wasn't totally obvious, the pp staff have had a bit of a love affair with hxxs the last couple years. currently residing in kansas city, brad played a show with them in denver and then sent them to davelybob for booking in STL. practically overnight they became the touring band he brought to town the most in his 19 years as a promoter. when d…

davelybob started booking shows 19 years ago in the stlpunk scene. years later his first gigs as a performer were sitting in with catholic guilt as part of a rather lengthy list of rotating musicians supplementing the core trio of sean burk, joe stein, and nick zengerling (who dave knew from booking his old band krafted in korea). fast forward over…
