I was cruising Flickr for Keith Haring art to use as chat icons, when I came across this. I love it.

I also think it looks a lot like Bun-Bun from Sluggy freelance (www.sluggy.com)

Bill Davis Happy Hour at Club Deville every Wednesday!

Our buddy Bill Davis, the drunken Earl of Rock, plays Happy Hour show every Wednesday from 6-9PM at Club Deville.

Not only is it a laid-back good time, but you can catch all of Bill's majesty and antics and still make it to The Parlor on time for our show!

I tried to find a video to help convince you of Bill Davis' charms, but it seems there's an internet conspiracy to keep him down and out of sight.  Fight the Man!  See Bill Davis tonight!

Farewell Solar Tuesdays!

We just got back from our last Solar Tuesday gig for the summer.  It was a great time, at a very cool venue with a lot of good friends.

Tonight the star attraction (aside from us, of course!) was the disco ball hanging from the cherry picker in the parking lot, and the enormous movie projections on the side of the building as we played.

Thanks to Comfortable Billy, to Rusty Montana, to Megan, Bernadette, Alicia, and all our friends who came out to see us play!  Some pictures were taken and they'll be posted as soon as they develop.

Next up, tomorrow's gig at The Parlor!

Gettin' my Blog on

Reed & Isaac said I had to start pulling some blog duty or I'd have to stay late after rehearsal. Which, actually, wouldn't be that bad - they have a Wii.

This weekend my and my buddy Danny Dolinger did some recording. Here is what came of it. It's Danny's parody of Robert Earl Keen"s "The Road Goes on Forever". Enjoy!

When Squads go Smooth

Remember back in the late 70s, before you were born when mellow tunes (and lots of disco) ruled American Top 40 and you cheered when "You Light Up My Life" was at #1 one more week?

Of course not, so the Squad has added to its mission bringing forth the occasional creation to do Koko of Yacht Rock proud.

So mix up an umbrella drink and prepare to chill to his week's smoooooth edition, "Sweet Luisa".

When Bill Speaks, Do You Listen?

As a band, we generally write songs about love, and rock, and loss, and science, and girls, and fiction, and girls in science fiction.  I never thought Bill Davis would make his way into a World Racketeering Squad tune, but sometimes we must bow to the irresistible weave of fate, and let the Drunken Earl of Rock have his say.  All two words of it.

Here's "Bill Says":

Let us know what you think!

 

New lyric: Bill Says

reed has posted a new lyric, for the song "Bill Says". Check it out here.

WANTED: Ghost Hunter

 It's been while since we posted a new song, but we've been a'brewin and a'steamin.  Here's the latest tasty treat, "Ghost Hunter."  Oddly, it has nothing to do with the film Ghostbusters, even though there would be lots of product tie-in opportunities if it did.  Go figure.
