Yee-Haw!

If you’re a fan of Mike Stand and The Altar Boys, you will absolutely want to get this new album of Altar Boys tunes done rockabilly punk style. You’ll recognize drummer Chuck Cummings from Dakoda Motor Co. and a bunch of other Christian projects from the 1990′s as well. I could not be happier that there is a lone voice of morality in the rockabilly punk scene; in fact, they are the only current rockabilly punk group that I will even listen to for that very reason. Check out their ReverbNation page at http://www.reverbnation.com/altarbillies for a preview; you won’t be disappointed!

(thanks for the tip David – see the review in this issue.  And a tip for any fans – you can get the CD for $5 + shipping from their Facebook page.)

So Many Bands, So Little Time

Out of curiosity (and unless I completely missed it) will there ever be an article on Michael Been/The Call?

(cool timing on this, as I was just listening to the first vinyl by The Call yesterday.  You haven’t missed it – but now that you asked… that is a great idea.  Anybody out there want to take part in this?  We could use some help pulling together resources on this one.)

Crazy Is As Crazy Does

The Undercover gets the blame for single handedly stopping all those great traditional concerts at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa every Saturday since 1968. Thousands upon thousands have given their lives to Jesus at these anointed Concerts. One day in the mid 80s Chuck Smith showed up one Saturday night and there was The Undercover Band with their shirts off and jumping around like idiots! U call that ground breaking? Hitler was ground breaking too! Just another “in the flesh, look at me” band that never gave God any Glory, and why are you booking these guys?
