RIP to Bill McNamara, cohost of the Thundering Word series, for being the only poster artist with enough vision to run with a literal take on the unusual gloss for our extraordinary ensemble, "the jug band of the damned". In promotion of a gig at Cafe Montmartre Nov 2008: https://creakingplanks.blogspot.com/2008/11/2008-11-30-creaking-planks-feature-at.html

Blackbox Squeezebeard and Dr. Steelhand shared a magical reunion at the Clean Air Festival at Trout Lake yesterday afternoon!

If you like comparing apples to oranges have I got a list for you!

#introduction @nicheinterests met Lee Shoal and Lord Eel while promoting the performance poetry show "That's My Brain... And You're KILLING It!" on accordion at the Western Front's "raw & cooked" variety show in early 2005. They then played every song they shouldn't have on every configuration of acoustic instruments imaginable, "too weird to live, too rare to die". The pendulum swung the other way, and now Blackbox bides his time with #StupidAccordionTricks, but has the Plank Creaked its last?
