A Dangerous Drunken Screwball


Daily Earwig: Earl Greyhound – Ghost and The Witness… 0

Posted on April 27, 2010 by DJC


Earl Greyhound, Ghost and The Witness. From the April 2010 release, Suspicious Package. You can get a full download of Suspicious Package for free here (sign-up required).

Earl Greyhound are from Brooklyn and make regular pilgrimages to Boston for live shows. If you’re in Boston on May 7th, (and I know very well that lots of you are), your opportunity to see what will likely be one of the most sonic rock shows this year happens on May 7th, at one of the last great rock rooms still standing in Boston, The Paradise.

Earl will kick out a bunch of other East Coast dates next month before hitting the West Coast (not Seattle – Boo) through the month of May.

Lastly, since I know you really like to rock, here’s EG’s video for Shotgun. Bang-Bang! Rock ‘n’ Roll  baby!
