Cincinnati) at the
Southgate House on Friday the 23rd.
As McGarrett would say, be there. Aloha.
Google Group for the dots!
There is now a
Google Group to talk about the dots! This is sort of a
replacement for the psycho depot newsletter.
New Bob Nyswonger Album!!!
The bassist (and vocalist, and keyboardist, and...) for the dots (and Bears,
and Raisins, and Bucket, and Tickled Pink, and...) is about to release his first solo CD!
Deposition has 10 tunes plus a short instrumental, and was
recorded in his home studio. Bob does the lead singing and plays pretty
much everything but drums, as most of the drumming duties were handled by
Chris Arduser and Bam Powell. On one track co-written with Fetters, Rob plays
guitar and Adrian Belew plays drums!
The CD is also be available through CD Baby, or you can get a
signed copy direct from Bad Bob himself! Send him a check or money order
for $15 (which includes shipping). Email him at
nyserhomes@current.net for more details!!!
