Asylum Street Spankers For Immediate Release February, 2007 Asylum Street Spankers NEW ALBUM BY RENOWNED ROOTS ENSEMBLE ASYLUM STREET SPANKERS RELEASED BY YELLOW DOG RECORDS Since 1995, Austin, Texas’ Asylum Street Spankers have purveyed their love of 1920s and 30s ragtime, pre-war blues, and early jazz into a full-fledged, extremely witty, unamplified hootenanny that’s won over thousands of fans. Led by vocalist Christina Marrs and harmonica/washboard player/vocalist Wammo, the group has explored the joys of pre-war raunch (‘96’s Nasty Novelties), languorously expounded on the thrill of earthly vices (‘97’s Spanker Madness), and, on 2004’s Mercurial, taken on Black Flag and the Beastie Boys. Now they’ve harnessed what Rolling Stone describes as their “inspired, lunatic brilliance,” and applied it to kids’ music. Remember Marlo Thomas’ Free To Be You and Me, and the brilliantly insane Carl Stallings scores that provided the backdrop for Bugs Bunny’s Saturday morning antics? Take a heaping spoonful of each then blend with a chapter of How To Eat Fried Worms and a couple of mint- condition Wacky Packs stickers. Fold in a lullaby and your favorite stuffed animal, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for Mommy Says No!, a twelve-song musical ode to childhood. The Asylum Street Spankers’ seventh studio album – and their first for veteran roots label Yellow Dog Records – might be family friendly fare, but it certainly pulls no punches: Just try to follow Wammo’s tongue twisters on “You Only Love Me For My Lunchbox,” or attempt to resist the sweet nostalgia of “Sidekick.” Blast the propulsive title track, a Spike Jones-influenced slam dance contender, or slow dance to a waltz version of Harry Nilsson’s “Think About Your Troubles,” which features a warbling musical saw. Three of these songs, “Be Like You,” “Don’t Turn Out the Light,” and the aforementioned “Sidekick,” are compositions penned by Marrs, the only parent in the group (her son Coltrane serves as the cookie-stealing cover model on the album cover). “This was an idea that’s been tossed around for years,” Marrs says, admitting in her next breath that “the project may have been a little baffling for a couple of the guys, who may have initially thought that they didn’t know how to write songs for a kids’ record.” Nevertheless, Wammo and Sick, the Spankers’ resident guitarist/fiddler/mandolin player, effortlessly channeled their inner five-year olds – no easy feat, according to fellow band mates, who had to endure wedgies, whoopee cushions, and endless thumb wrestling bouts. An improbable (well, veteran listeners know to expect the unexpected) cover of Nirvana’s “Sliver,” which is distilled into an Appalachian bluegrass jam, rounds out the album. The musicianship – all acoustic instruments, of course – is as sophisticated as ever, either as a stripped-down version of the group, or the full ensemble, with clarinet, trumpet, sousaphone, saxophone, and trombone. Whether you’re turning up the dueling guitars on “Boogers,” tapping along to the propulsive rhythm track on “Everybody Loves My Baby,” or shimmying to the horn-driven second line strut that drives the ruminative “When I Grow Up,” you’ll hear classic Spankers elements shining throughout the album. And lyrically, Mommy Says No! is hilarious, a worthy contender to Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein’s treasured works. Gorgeously produced, and chock full of brazen satire (for the sweeter side of the Spankers’ songwriting, check out “Training Wheel Rag” or the fairytale-like “Super Frog”), it’s a rich listening experience for audiences of all ages. “There’s not a lot of music out there for kids that a true music fan is going to enjoy,” says Marrs, who has an avowed anathema of Yanni, the Wiggles, and that singing purple dinosaur. “Even the so-called hip children’s music I find intolerable,” she adds with a laugh. “In my house, where there’s always been plenty to listen to, the kids like our music anyways. There’s something about the band’s sound and energy that appeals to them, so why not make a Spankers record that’s family friendly,” she muses. “Even so, Mommy Says No! doesn’t have to be finely defined as a children’s record,” she says of the album, which was cut at the Still Recording Studio in Austin. “I think our fans, no matter how old they are, are gonna really like it. The random parent who hasn’t heard us before will find something cool and fun for their kids that won’t drive them crazy. And, for the young ones, we’ve got that brand recognition kicking in early!” Upcoming Tour Dates for Mommy Says No! 3/24 All Good Music Cafe - Dallas, TX 5/10 Mexicali Blues Cafe - Teaneck, NJ 3/28 Plush - Tucson, AZ 5/11 Joe's Pub - New York, NY 3/29 The Rhythm Room - Phoenix, AZ 5/12 Sellersville Theater - Sellersville, PA 3/30 Molly Malone's - Los Angeles, CA 5/13 Jeremiah's Listening Rm - Williamsport, PA 3/31 12 Galaxies - San Francisco, CA 5/17 Gravity Lounge - Charlottesville, VA 4/1 Don Quixote's Music Hall - Santa Cruz, CA 5/18 The Arts Center - Carrboro, NC 4/3 Johnny B's - Medford, OR 5/19 The Ellington Playhouse - Lynchburg, VA 4/4 Sam Bond's Garage - Eugene, OR 5/20 Ram's Head Tavern - Annapolis, MD 4/5 The Doug Fir Lounge - Portland, OR 6/1 Threadgill's - Austin, TX 4/6 The Nightlight Lounge - Bellingham, WA 6/8 VZD's - Oklahoma City, OK 4/7 Chop Suey - Seattle, WA 6/9 Knuckleheads Saloon - Kansas City, MO 4/10 Neurolux - Boise, ID 6/10 Wakarusa Festival - Lawrence, KS 4/12 Dulcinea's 100th Monkey - Denver, CO 6/13 The Grey Eagle - Asheville, NC 4/13 Avogadro's Number - Fort Collins, CO 6/14 Twin City Rib Festival - Winston-Salem, NC 4/14 Oskar Blues - Lyons, CO 6/15 Blue Bayou - Hillsborough, NC 4/15 Thunder River Theatre - Carbondale, CO 6/16 The Pourhouse - Raleigh, NC 4/27 MacHenry's Upstairs - Fort Worth, TX 6/17 Smith's Olde Bar - Atlanta, GA 4/28 Saxon Pub - Austin, TX 7/7 Tour de Fat - City Park - Denver, CO 5/5 3rd & Lindsley - Nashville, TN 7/21 Tour de Fat - Golden Gate Park - SF, CA 5/6 Southgate House - Newport, KY 7/28 Tour de Fat - Donner Park - Truckee, CA 5/8 Club Cafe - Pittsburgh, PA 8/2 Shady Grove - Austin, TX 5/9 World Cafe Live - Philadelphia, PA 8/23 The Rhythm Room - Phoenix, AZ ##### Contact: Michael Powers 901-452-4087 [email protected] Photos and Electronic press kit: www.yellowdogrecords.com/presskits www.yellowdogrecords.com 99 South Second Street, Suite A-277 Memphis, TN 38103 phone: (901) 452-4087 fax: (901) 328-5632 .

  • Aaron Keim Graduate Non Fiction Jazz on a Horse, the Musical Style of Milton Brown and His Musical Brownies
    Aaron Keim Graduate Non Fiction Jazz On A Horse, the Musical Style of Milton Brown and His Musical Brownies Beginning in 1932, musicians from America’s Southwest produced their own type of jazz that has since been labeled western swing. These jazz musicians were geographically isolated from the jazz scenes in the American urban centers of the East. They made music that mixed jazz with traditional string band styles, using both jazz instruments and folk instruments to create a unique sound. Due to racial and cultural stereotypes, geographical issues and issues of instrumentation, such music has been ignored by jazz historians and left out of the canon of jazz history. If modern listeners can place the early jazz style into this unique context and concentrate on how the music sounds, it is not so hard to accept western swing as a branch of the jazz tradition. After all, to white people of the rural Southwest, western swing was their kind of jazz. Even though western swing possesses characteristics that seem foreign to modern jazz tastes, a detailed study of how the music was played will demonstrate that it does have credibility has a type of jazz. An appropriate place to begin this study is with the first superstars of western swing, Milton Brown and His Musical Brownies. The Brownies were responsible for setting the repertoire, sound and playing style for western swing. Through a careful analysis of these characteristics we can illuminate this style as a type of jazz and show how important the Brownies are to American music. While engaging in this study of the Brownies’ music, we will also uncover important cultural issues that address race, class, geography, musical transmission and musical culture of the depression era.

  • Asylum Street Spankers to Remember?
    For Immediate Release August, 2013 CAN YOU HELP THE ASYLUM STREET SPANKERS TO REMEMBER? Asylum Street Spankers Wake Up in the Morning and Find a Butt-Load of Wonderful New Asylum Street Spankers Recordings. Do Any of You Have Any Idea Where These Came From? “Dedicated to acoustic instrumentation, but mischievously unorthodox in every other way.” — The New York Times If you've read the bio or know any of the members of the Asylum Street Spankers, you probably are aware that the group was founded in 1994 at a booze-filled party at the Dabbs Hotel along the river in Llano, Texas. Well, it appears that America's favorite old-time hellraisers have once again musically triumphed over overindulgence and memory loss. Or have they? For 17 years, Christina Marrs, Nevada Newman, Charlie King and the other Spankers toured far and wide, leaving a swath of astonished audiences in their wake. This, they remember. They remember gearing up for a massive six-month farewell tour in which they hit all their favorite spots in the country. They recall setting up the three-day "Last Laugh" finale in their hometown of Austin, Texas at the Cactus Café, Ruta Maya and Spider House Ballroom. But, honestly, that's the last thing they remember. Do any of you remember anything that happened on April 21, 22 and 23 of 2011? What becomes clear upon listening to these recordings, set for release in album form by Yellow Dog Records as The Last Laugh, is that none of these songs has ever been recorded by the Asylum Street Spankers before.
