Longtime DIY folk punk label Plan-It-X Records has launched a Kickstarter fund to release a new split LP featuring folk punk bands Ramshackle Glory and Ghost Mice.
Plan-It-X owner and Ghost Mice guitarist Chris Calvin gives some details on the split’s content:
“All the songs will be about the ideas of shelter and home. Ideas like sleeping on floors and living in punk houses and not having anywhere to live at all.”
Ramshackle Glory last released “Who Are Your Friends Gonna Be?” in 2012, and Ghost Mice released their most recent album “All We Got Is Each Other,” also in 2012.

Members of Arizona folk punk band Ramshackle Glory have announced plans to open a community center in downtown Tucson, AZ. They their plans to directly contribute to the scene:
“We’re looking to open a new infoshop and community space in Tucson, AZ. Our goal is to operate a social center and radical organizing hub close to Tucson’s downtown district. We hope to maintain an accessible collective space that functions as a safer space downtown open to all ages, where local groups and individuals organize, fundraise, meet, hold workshops, and more.
The space will function to make its resources, such as the radical lending library and computer lab, available free of charge. We want a space run according to non-hierarchical principles, where old and new friends become empowered and better connected, that can dedicate itself to furthering radical movements for liberation while remaining available to a broader Tucson community.”
Read more over here, where the band has set up a donation page (similar to the increasingly popular Kickstarter model) to raise a goal of $1300.
Ramshackle Glory released their second full-length “Who Are Your Friends Gonna Be?” in June 2012.

One of my favorite strange little covers is of the old vaudeville tune “Ain’t Nobody’s Business,” originally written by Porter Granger in the 1920′s and covered over and over and over by bands and musicians such as Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton, Mississippi John Hurt, and many more. Click here to check out the cover (with, uh, “modified lyrics”*) by Wingnut Dishwasher’s Union, fronted by Pat The Bunny (Of Ramshackle Glory, Johnny Hobo and The Freight Trains, Michael Jordan Touchdown Pass, and more, I’m sure), as well as an older more traditional version of the song.
*The now-defunct Wingnut Dishwasher’s Union typically performed this one by inviting the audience to make up their own verses after the first 2 or 3. It makes for some, uh, interesting little ditties.
