Playlist for Friday, August 4, 2006

SAVVY SHOW STARTER (always a local artist!)
The Trashmen -- A-Bone (Tube City: Best Of...; Sundazed)

"A-Bone" was written by Minneapolitan Larry LaPole, and is the Trashmen's homage to the hot rodded Model A Ford. Because of it's simplicity, price and wide availability, the 1928-31 Model A has always been a favorite of hot rodders. We played it for the Minneapolis Messaround, a car show taking place Saturday, August 12 at Memory Lanes bowling alley in Minneapolis. The Messaround, sponsored by the Lucky Bastards car club, is the first Minnesota car show aimed at hot rods, jalopies, customs, and bikes 1964 and earlier, built in the traditional style of the '50s and early '60s.
