Last week, I had the opportunity to see and chat with Ruckus faves Two Cow Garage at one of my favorite venues, Southgate House in Newport, KY. Ideal, right? And yet I am ashamed to even write that sentence. You see, I am a Columbus transplant. Two Cow is a band with its roots in Columbus. It is ridiculous (and entirely my fault) that the first chance I got to catch them live and sit down for a chat happened in not only another city but another state . Thankfully, there were no hard feelings and I [...]
The decision of who to use for this week's Top 3 was made for me when John Schnabel sent me a few pictures of Micah in the studio where he is currently recording his new solo album, I'm Dead, Serious . While the decision of who to use may have been easy. The decision of which 3 songs to choose was not. This may be seen as sacrilege to some but going through the Two Cow Garage discography and trying to narrow my choices down to 3 songs made me realize how strong Two Cows body of [...]
The summer that I turned 13, I met a boy who had a mohawk, wore a pair of beat up Doc Martens, and wrote a zine. The boy introduced me to punk music which, incidentally, changed my life. He also introduced me to my favorite record store (Vinyl Fever, which closed in February, to my eternal heartache), good vegan food, and Blood and Guts in High School . It was a pivotal summer, and you could say that the boy is at least partially responsible for the existence of this blog. [...]

New World Brewery | Ybor City, FL | May 13, 2011 | Part I | Full Set We have a special love for Two Cow Garage around here, and I was lucky enough to see them twice over the weekend, the first time at Bryan Childs' birthday gig , and the second at Tropical Heatwave . Both shows were absolute mayhem; you will never see a better or more intense live show. Saturday's performance culminated in a stellar cover of Tom Petty's "American Girl" (with a little help [...]
Damnit. This podcast was supposed to be posted the last weekend of April but when I made the podcast apparently my microphone was messing up, so I had to go back and rerecord all the parts where I was talking. As a result, it’s a little late but the music in this episode makes it worth the wait. This month’s podcast opens with what is, in my opinion, song of the year so far, “Highway 42” by Grayson Capps , and just keeps crushing from there on out. It features Matt Woods , The Only [...]
Phew! Back from SxSW and back at work. 9B as normal will resume tomorrow. I have some good videos and a few stories I'll relay over the coming week or so as well. SxSW was good. It was wise to lay off the booze this year. I had a lot more fun and feel way better in the afterglow that I did last year. Other than that it was a typical SxSW. Friends were made, friends were lost, miles were walked and shows were seen. I'd like to drop a special thank you to the guys from Two Cow Garage [...]
Our good buddy, Chris Green , recently booked Mike Damron for a house show and asked if I'd be interested in posting some of the video from it. Of course I responded with a solid Clay Davis "Shhhhhiiiiiiiitttttttttt" and accepted. Enjoy: Ninebullets.net has devoted plenty of coverage to the music of Michael Dean Damron 's music over the years. Longtime readers will know him both as the front man of incendiary hard rock band I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch [...]
This post comes from longtime 9B reader, Chris Green and really expands upon the Covers EP that Two Cow released yesterday. In his words, "When I saw the announcement, I really wanted to help out my favorite band more than $5 worth, and make sure this cool project was a success, so I offered an extra-nice donation that I wanted to keep anonymous, and they picked the 3rd bonus song from my list of suggestions." Ninebullets.net faves Two Cow Garage have just completed their covers [...]
The goal was simple: Find a way to offset the upfront costs of going on tour overseas. The idea was crowdsourcing genius: Take a poll of what songs their fans would like to hear the band cover. Record the two that get the most votes and put them out as a limited EP. The result: A three track EP that is only available for two weeks (ending 03.14.11) for a minimum donation of 5 dollars. Get your copy here . Track listing: [...]
As anyone who got within earshot of me can attest, by the end of SxSW last year I had had it. Austin had defeated me. I was tired of being drunk, tired of walking and just plain tired. In a word, I was done. Well. Flash forward almost a year and I'm preparing to go do back an do the battle of attrition once again and we're bringing the party back! This year not only is the ninebullets.net party actually located downtown, it's also gonna be two days and featuring plenty on ninebullets.net regulars. You'll find all the [...]

While it won't carry the same sweeping disdain that Dylan going electric did it was still quite the surprise when I pressed play on Austin Lucas ' new song "Thunder Rail" and heard electric guitars. I'm not sure if this new track is representative of the overall sound of the new record but if it is, having seen Austin backed by Two Cow Garage before, my excitement level is creeping up more than a few notches. Austin Lucas - Thunder Rail Austin's new album, [...]
(AIV Note: This was supposed to be posted yesterday but my dumb ass forgot to upload the podcast to the server. Der, I iz full of forgets....anyhow, enjoy.) Well, it might be a new year and I might have a radio show now but nothing really changes when it comes to the podcast. It starts nice enough and you might even be able to hear some improvement gleaned from doing a weekly radio show but it quickly devolves into a ½ drunk foul mouthed typical podcast. Don’t let that deter you though. While my speech and [...]
Autopsy IV is on his annual pilgrimage to strap a board to the bottom of his feet and slide down mountains. While he is away 9B will feature a collection of guest posts. Today’s post finds our good buddy Shawn Kellogg returning to continue rubbing in the fact that I don't live in Denver. Even though both Tin Horn Prayer and Arliss Nancy ’s new discs have been reviewed here and [...]
Here we are at the end of another year. All things considered, it was a pretty good one. On a personal level, I came into 2010 facing some pretty freaky & scary health issues and I’m leaving more or less in tact and healthy. Both my Seminoles and my Buccaneers had positive seasons while it looks like my Lightning are gonna be in the playoff conversation all season. Musically, it was a pretty solid year too and that’s what we’re really here to talk about now ain’t it. In preparation for this show I literally (yes, I am [...]
My normal year-end favorite albums list usually tends to favor the bands/artists who I saw live in that year. This is only somewhat true for 2010. While The Hold Steady , The National, Drive-by Truckers , and Justin Townes Earle all had killer live gigs in Toronto this year, I just couldn't get into their 2010 releases (I didn't write a review of The National at Massey Hall on June 8 because every other blogger in Toronto did). Turns out that I tended to like some of the opening acts better than some [...]
