One True Dead Angel blog says Barely Regal Beagles is "old school DIY at it's best".

Did a recent session for Little Village Live on KRUI.  Here is a hair metal version of "The Top".  A little hard to hear over that raucous crowd...

High quality video of Boo Hoos at their last show performing "Do The Pinewood Box".  Big thanks to Taper Tim!


and here is a video of St. Louis artist Googolplexia doing a cover of the MOG song "Undead"

LOOSE NEWS FOR NUDES

Last (foreseeable) Boo Hoos show this Sunday June 26th at the Blue Moose Taphouse in Iowa City with R. Stevie Moore, Tropical Ooze and Delvis.  Personally I vote that Chris doesn't move to Florida and we keep playing.  Sigh.  This is also Grace's birthday so make sure and buy her one of those drinks with the umbrella in it!

Have a show coming up on July 1st in Ames at The M Shop for The Mumford's record release party.  Super stoked.  Ames ain't lames.


"JUST ADD TEARS" the new split 12" with Joe Jack Talcum is out now!  Buy it immediately from:  http://grottorecords.blogspot.com/
They are going fast!

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us on the tour down south.  It was a tough row to hoe.  Shows were great but multiple vehicle problems and crazy weather took years off my life.  But on the plus side we covered "Angst In My Pants" by SPARKS every night.

i hurt my toe last night.

No new tours planned.
WHAT NEXT?

OUT NOW: JUST ADD TEARS!

My new split 12" with Joe Jack Talcum is out now!  You can order it below from the Grotto Records website.  Covers are hand screened by the great Josh Mead.  It comes with a free download code of the whole album.  Check it out here:
