Hello, some shows in Spain and Switzerland are happening. Now I will predict the past.
I’m not the best at it so my prediction fees stay low.
But, l’ve been working at it a long time. I can also predict the future a little. For example, I predict years from now i will predict that time I went on tour in the north of Spain, and all the musicians travelled by mailbeat e was ows tito incle ment weather. As it turns out, many bands won’t tour by sailboat because it’s not as practical as a van. Shame! Here are a few so far…

Aug 7th - Isla (Cantabria)
Playa Madre

Aug 8th - Santander
The New

Aug 9th - Sopelena (Vizcaya)
La Atalaia de Gardoki

Aug 11th - Bermeo (Vizcaya)
Ateneo Malandra

A few more shows to be added depending where we sail

Then - Aug 16th - Piz Palou Festival in Geneva

Country Risque is officially available and for sale. the album not the people. Although are they? Dm for specific details. But the album is for sale. But for how much? How can you put a number on a work of art? It’s $10. Hardcore tavern tunes for rodeo qu**rs but also for the rest of you. Xoxoxo ❤️❤️❤️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Country Risque… what is there left to say about a band who made it to the top then to the bottom then to the top then to the middle then back to the top then 3/4 way back down then up a little but eventually back down far below the bottom? You are broken and they are your surgeon. The Rickshaw is your E.R. Juicebumps , Half Stack and the divine Katsy Pline will be your triage nurses of the night.

Baby’s home ❤️ Longtime Companion reissued 10 years later exactly where it belongs~ First 100 color copies almost sold out! LINK IN BIO
From Sonny: Happy to announce that I am able to re-issue this record on my own label, which is a big time thing for me. Well, a Country Record ought to be a person talking candidly about the hardest parts of love, and this is what I set out to do. At the time of the making I had been struggling to keep my mind together, and music was the solution to chaos. i had been dropped by a major label and one can be affected by that as well. In fact, I’m sure I was dropped because they just wanted a continuation of Too Young To Burn type tunes and they didn’t know what to make of my country direction. This wasn’t explicitly stated… but it was pretty much stated. Hence and therefore I will always support artists who take jagged left turns and break out of their pigeon holed compartments! Odd highlights of the era included a phonecall from Eminem’s producer asking to sample ‘Pretend You Love Me’. The staple beverage of the band appeared to be White Russians. Four core artists made this music a reality: James Finch, Rusty Miller, Bart Davenport and Tom Heyman. To connect with them is to connect with the eternal river of American music. They are original limited editions and so is this release! First 100 sold have this lovely yellow splatter vinyl. Pre-Order available now! If you need to know the meaning of verse 8 from Year of the C**k message me privately. A celebratory show awaits us March 10 at the Stork Club… info to follow in the weeks to come...
