Happy Jawbone Family Band - Okay Midnight, You Win

Happy Jawbone Family Band - Okay Midnight, You Win ( / )

LP / CD Edition of 1000 Book Of Fire CD: LP: The second LP (fifth album) by this Vermont / Colorado quintet finds them traipsing ever deeper into the kind of mythic American territory we usually associate with bands who view our landscape from far outside it’s windows. Think of Australia’s Triffids or New Zealand’s Renderers and cross their brilliant Southern Hemisphere inventions with truths only wrenchable from the heart of the beast. There’s a genuine ruralist hoot factor here so smooth that it hits like a ton of silk, but there’s enough killbilly undertow to keep everyone standing nervously around that jug of magic moonshine.    

Happy Jawbone Family Band - Hotel Double Tragedy

Happy Jawbone Family Band - Hotel Double Tragedy ()

OUT OF PRINT! The Hotel Double Tragedy is constantly burning. You will be too with these new hits from the family! Simply plug all the instruments and vocals into one ancient jangle. That’s right! “You deserve to be the hugest group in the world! You deserve magical pop weirdness in about 10 seconds flat.” This could easily have been advertised in this way. Or even as a reissue of the newly discovered missing link between ball lightning and the Vaselines, but we have decided to be honest with you. Happy Jawbone is a collection of depressing people leading boring lives and looking good while they do it. Sounds like our favorite Feeding Tube release thus far! Also available on LP…. Read more »

Zebu - Things We Found: Bell & Broken Watch

ZEBU! - Things We Found: Bell & Broken Watch ()

CD Fueled by love sick determination and a fabulously comfortable basement, what started in Ted’s bed with an acoustic guitar and a contact mic turned into an album that was written an recorded in one day. ZEBU! stretches out in a psychedelic Massachusetts time warp of noise, loops and contemplation. What results is a masterpiece of a record that makes Ted giggle with delight. Twelve songs and what nots that are bound to make dance, cry, scream, melt flesh & love again once over. This release finds these Feeding Tube stalwarts”whipping off the kid gloves, lighting them on fire, and huffing the fumes” — Signal To Noise    

Zebu - Hookers in Sweatpants

ZEBU! - Hookers In Sweatpants ()

CD ZEBU!’s first attempt at the great studio album of all time is truly a classic of the Feeding Tube canon. Featuring some of the most lasting songs of the ZEBU! repertory, each song is a crazy blueprint of the band in its embryonic stages. Produced by Jonathan Granoff and recorded by Nathan Rosborough in a basement in RI, Steve plays banjo, tracks are written on the spot, and genius occurs. Ted says “What? It’s freakin in a gold bag!”
