Most of the time you go to the station, do your show and leave. It becomes a routine of sorts. Occasionally you do a show that you really feel good about. Last night was one such show. Not sure what it is that sets some apart from the rest but whatever it is, last night's has it. I opened the show with a Lumineers, Mastersons, The District Attorneys set I'd been thinking about doing for a few weeks but wasn't sure how it would go over with the listeners. While the middle of the show features a brand new Gaslight [...]
I fell in love with this song from The Switchboard Sessions last summer and have listened to it a good deal of times since, sometimes on repeat. I became so attached to this version that I initially rejected the studio recording of this track. Then I got over being so indie that I could only listen to demos and came to appreciate the final cut of "Stumble". The wheezing accordion and harmonies make Thomas's voice a little less lonely. It has grown into a stomping sing-along instead of the song you listen to [...]
Here's the teaser track from Tin Horn Prayer's upcoming long player Grapple The Rails. Tin Horn Prayer - Stumble by BeatSurrender You can still download the bands debut album at Bandcamp for free .
The past few weeks have seen 9b Radio sit in a more mellow groove so I decided to up the rock level of this week's show. It certainly didn't hurt to have Truckstop Darlin' and Tin Horn Prayer send me brand new songs and when you combined those with Sunday Valley, an unreleased track from the Bohannons the rock kind of upped itself. Even the requests fit the overall feel I was going for last night so good job to the listeners. Now! Go put some ears on the archived stream of the show . Below is [...]
03 "Louis Collins" is a traditional murder ballad that's been making the rounds in music for almost a hundred years now. There are versions by many artists floating around, but here are my two favorites. First, Tin Horn Prayer screeches their way through the song with shouted vocals and stomping, appropriate of the subject matter. Tin Horn Prayer - Louis Collins Josh Ritter 's version is a bit different. He combined the tale of Louis Collins and that of Stackalee into [...]
I love Tin Horn Prayer . Like in that way where I take way too many pictures of them and go to all of their shows and they should probably consider a restraining order...if I wasn't so cool. Anyway, this song came up on my iPod during my commute this morning and ended up with it on repeat throughout the day. It's angsty and shouty and full of harmonica and harmonies, so my kind of song through and through. Give it a listen below and you can download "Wretch" and download all of Get [...]
This post comes to you a little late, but 2012 has been a little crazy. I celebrated New Year's Eve on the 30th of December with the first of two nights of Slim Cessna's Auto Club at the Bluebird Theater. This was a full night of Colorado music as Tin Horn Prayer and Drag the River kicked off the night in style. Both of these bands are friends [...]
Micah Schnabel is one of those musicians who makes you forget everything but the music during a performance. He is very dear to our hearts here at The Ruckus as I imagine he is to anyone who has had the pleasure of seeing Micah perform solo or with Two Cow Garage . I often boast about this, but Colorado is an awesome place for music and this week I'm feeling especially proud. We get four shows of Micah Schnabel and two of them, including the Denver date, have our friends Tin Horn Prayer [...]
Did you miss the Suburban Home Records Anniversary Party this year? So did I. Having made the last two it was especially hard for me, knowing exactly what I was missing and all. Luckily, Denver music scene chronicler extraordinaire, SxPxDxCx of That's The Thing About That did not miss it and he ran tape on the entire weekend. While it's not the same as being there, I do plan on pouring a tall glass of whiskey tonight and listening to this compilation loud enough to make the neighbors complain. If you're [...]
That there interweb is big and vast and sometimes it's easy to miss some of the awesome that happens on it. So here is an attempt to link to some of the other awesome that's happening out there: Did you know ninebullets loves Have Gun Will Travel ? Of course you did. Hell, at this point we should be their friggin' PR team and finally, you get to hear what all the latest hype is about. Pre-Orders for HGWT's new album, Mergers & Acquisitions have gone live and every order gets [...]
It was a really busy week here on ninebullets and we're hoping that will be the new norm with all the new writers so I thought I'd start posting a weekly recap on the weekend (good idea?). So let's get into it: Speaking of new writers. I added all of them to the 9B About page . We have a damned staff all of a sudden. I was a busy week for videos. Did you miss any of them? We posted new videos from; Tin Horn Prayer , Sallie Ford and [...]
Denver's Tin Horn Prayer debuted the video for their song "Crime Scene Cleanup Team" this weekend at the Suburban Home Anniversary Party and I am assuming, like me, most of you couldn't be there to see it. Well fear not, cause we have it here for you this morning in all it's blood glory:
Here's a brand new video from Denver's Tin Horn Prayer for their song, "Crime Scene Cleanup Team". As you probably know, this band is a bit dear to our hearts and we're thrilled to bring you this video. It's gorgeously (an odd word to use for the content of the video, but look at the camera work!) directed by Adam Reynolds. Not for the faint of heart, it's described as: The band slips and slides through massive amounts of blood, guts and beer while attempting to clean up their own bloody [...]

3 Kings Tavern | Denver, Colorado | 22 April 2011 | Full Set It has been far too long since I've seen Tin Horn Prayer play a show and they totally blew me away. I was seriously impressed the first time I saw this band, but it seems like they've gotten even tighter. Live, they're a bit of an adventure: there's six punk rockers on stage switching vocals and instruments and generally kicking some ass. There's a crazy mix of bluegrass, rock, country, punk, folk, and another handful of [...]
It's there. Can you feel it? Bubbling up from the underground. Pulsating from the heartbeat of the punk clubs and rock stages. Surging from the heart of middle America. A return to true, earnest rock and roll. Maybe it's a reaction against the overly-produced drivel that fills the airwaves. Maybe it's a statement about getting back to our roots, to what's core and meaningful. Shit, maybe it's all in my mind. All I know is that the Ripple Office has been inundated recently with a barrage of quality, back-to-the-roots of rock [...]
http://www.ninebullets.net/wp- images/2011/The_Red_Hills.jpg It's been a busy period for the folks in the ICLASOB camp. First they finally pulled The Sounds of Dying off the shelf and gave it the proper release it deserved, Michael Dean Damron has a brand new solo cd coming out, and then you got I'm A Nightmare being pulled from the dusty and hardest to reach corner of the shelf for a proper release of its own. The Red Hills are Jon Burbank, Dave Lipkind and Flapjack from I [...]
