So yeah, you take a bit of Jay Reatard's new wavey type stuff, add some fizz to the production and a drummer who sounds like he played in the New Bomb Turks. And that's Mississippi's Bass Drum of Death. Just a two-piece. This is my second find this year. The other being the aforementioned Left Lane Cruiser. Or at least side one of LLC's latest.
But back to Bass Drum. Listen to this record when yer cruising with the windows down. It's summer time rock n roll. Perfect for cold beer on back porches, too. Maybe cold beer when you're driving? Not sure anyone does that any more. Anywho, I'd be interested in hearing what Memphis folks think about these guys. As I understand from my good Memphis friend The Colonel, these guys are well-known in those parts. He said BDoD plays a lot with some "insufferable hipster" named Dent?
Whatever. Check this out and get your rock n roll on.

hmm, i suppose the question was pointed my way? i've heard of them, but don't think i've ever heard them. they are actually from alabama, i think, maybe mississippi
You disappoint me Thomas Jones. If it wasnt for your knowledge of the left side of Kozy Korner's menu, I'd suspect you were in fact from Hayward.
But I believe you.
playing a show here next weekend, but i think i'm playing the same night
now it looks like i will be playing on the same show, will report
who are these "colonel" and dent fellows?
thought they were alright, good songs and playing, but really felt like they needed bass
