Deep Knee Bends - BLUE GRASS VERSION

Salut! (HE DID SAY BANJO! HE DID HE DID! BANJO BANJO BANJO!)

We've been getting into all kinds of groovy stuff recently boys and girls....

The following things have been making various members of BATTLEHOOCH very stoked recently.... (in no specific order)

  1. Timbaland Beats (specifically his work for Aaliyah and Clipse)
  2. Declare Independence (Bjork music video, dir: Michel Gondry)
  3. St. Vincent
  4. The work of music video director Patrick Daughters (DIG HIM. He's THE MAN)
  5. Rare Funk 45s
  6. Hall and Oates
we've also been spending tons of time fine tuning the new batch of songs for when we go into the studio after our LA mini tour. New songs are sounding SWEEEET. Got SO many others on deck too... there will be no shortage of new battlehooch material for at least another year or so.... (did he really say that?)

ANYWAYZ!!!!!! onto the new blog post.... The INFAMOUS(?) Bluegrass Version of "Deep Knee Bends". You might remember "Deep Knee Bends" from our 2007 EP "OOF OWF" (Remember OOF OWF? Remember my '88 White Toyota Corolla??!?!? (Big ups to Aptos, California!) ...and the dayz go by... diggin' the parenthesis within parenthesis)

(meanwhile...)
Deep Knee Bends BLUE GRASS by Battlehooch

The Lineup for this recording was:

Archaeology Johnson - banjo/mandolin
Dr. Spankk - vocals/acoustic guitar
Grantaloonz - bass
BDB - drums
Tombo - sax
Hubaloinz - Family Reunion

We recorded this version when we were trying to get onto the lineup for SF's very own "Hardly Strictly Bluegrass" festival. Still waiting to hear from them, but we'll probably just storm the front gates like we did last year... (PROOF ---> http://www.flickr.com/photos/battlehooch/2948340270/)

(does anyone read this? hahahahahahahahahahahaha)

THE END.
