SUPERSTITIONS – “if this is a game i’m winnin’ it” on Wizard Mountain Tapes

February 3rd, 2010

Just picked up the new Superstitions tape from the folks over at Wizard Mountain and it’s pretty awesome.

Includes covers of songs by the Pleasure Seekers and Buck Owens and his Buckaroos. Righteously great stuff even if it is a criminally short tape (a mere 19 minutes!).

PT29 – Old Fake – Covers
ltd edition of 200 pro dubbed cassettes

Old Fake is a young band full of old hands trying to reinvigorate rock and roll by taking new approaches to old methods.
Fresh out the gate, “covers” is their first release. Expect unruly-yet-focused energy, pummeling rhythms and caterwauling guitars.. Song selections range from legends (Bowie, Stones and Dylan) to the almost-completely-obscure (Chicago-local, Esoteric Tapioca).

PT28 – Bob Dey’s Tank Engine Man – Bob Dey’s Dream
ltd edition of 100 pro-dubbed copies

Bob Dey’s Dream is the musical tale of Mr. Talent as he finds himself taking a night off from working by going to a party.  At the party, he indulges in some “party cake” which disagrees with his stomach and sends him home to dream a frightful dream. This is the second album by Chicago’s Bob Dey’s Tank Engine Man which consists of writer Bob Dey and his employee-musician Mark Jumper (Mr. Talent).

Rabble Rabble are perhaps one of our favorite live acts in Chicago right now.
We’ve been stoked to check these psych-rockers all over town and at many a sweaty loft show. They’ve never ceased to blow us away every time.
