The Ledge #477: Summer Means Fun (Plus Recovered Bonus Show)
On last week's new release broadcast I had attempted to right a wrong. I definitely missed the boat on the fabulous Minneapolis band Low Rats blend of "proto-punk meets '90s garage rock style", as reviewer Carolyn Keddy recently wrote. Their full-length debut, Year of the Rat MMXX came out late last year, and last week they debuted a brand new "double-dose" single, "Taxi Driver/Brand New Cadillac". I was so pleased to finally give some of their tunes a little airplay.
And then guess what happened? I had an issue with the file, and I couldn't upload the episode. Ugh!!! So this week I tried again, and I actually played a couple more songs than I did the week before. And, as an added bonus, I've also included a couple of tracks from vocalist Michael Myers' previous band, Narco States, who I interviewed wasy back in 2015.
The rest of this week's show consists of music I've been playing around the house the last fw weeks. There are well over 60 years of tunes on this broadcast, including some stories I've picked up from a couple of books I've recently acquired.
And you fine people also get as a bonus the surviving portion of last week's show. The first hour or so of new releases, and I've got a question for listeners regarding a band called The Revenents. I'd appreciate a little help about this band that has released well over a dozen albums for free these last few months.
The combination of these two broadcast means you guys get over three hours of tunes in this week's download! But please do me a favor and purchase some Low Rats at their bandcamp site. In fact, I would love it if every listener bought at least one record I played on either of these shows. These great artists deserve to be compensated for their hard work, and every purchase surely helps not only pay their bills but fund their next set of wonderful songs. And if you buy these records directly from the artist or label, please let them know you heard these tunes on The Ledge! Let them know who is giving them promotion! You can find this show at almost any podcast site, including iTunes and Stitcher...or
