Saturday Night Four Play - Volume 1

I've been toying with this idea for a while now, but I couldn't find a free place to host .mp3 files (since I'm a cheap bastard). I think I just have.

Anyway, once a week I might just load up some music tracks -- personal favourites, old chestnuts, hidden gems... one sh*t blunders... just for sh*ts and giggles. This week features a couple of hometown rock bands from back in the day.

The Ramrods are old friends of mine who started this band in their teens. They developed quite a local following before they disbanded in the early 90s. The tracks are from an album they recorded a dozen or so years ago that finally saw the light of day.



The Wrench (formerly Monkey Wrench) are also old friends. I met the drunk bastards in college. Their sense of humor and rambunctious shows landed them the opening slot for the Goo Goo Dolls in the pre-pussified days. One track is all Wrench... the other is a unique take on a one-sh*t blunder.

Enjoy.

yeah, I had trouble with the links too--here from Michele's. I was in WNY in the early 90s, and I wonder if I heard any of them.

Far be it for me to be the 'broken record' (whoo!) but unfortunately the links aren't loading for me either. I always like to learn others' musical tastes though so I'll keep my eyes on these. At least, I will when my computer isn't falling apart.

Pickle,

They used to do a great rendition of "Groove is in the Heart." I wish I had that somewhere.
