First Spin: Mind Spiders’ Surf-Kraut-
Skate-Rock ‘Meltdown’
Hear the full length album today…buy it when it’s released tomorrow!
This short doc chronicles what happens in a city of 60,000 when kids get together and rock your fuckin balls off for no other reason than to cause testicular spontaneous combustion.
Great bands, Shit bands, Touring bands, Bands that still play to this day. Denton in the late 90’s was all about playing music with nowhere to play. So out of the ooze of Sublime singles and Y2K Preparations came the insanity. Telephone book paper fights, 40 oz parties, Jeff Silly running around naked, getting busted for noise complaints, holding benefit shows to pay off said noise complaint ticket. Back when the “door money” consisted of a tattooed girl with a nose ring (which was a little more rare in those days) with a coffee can asking for donations.
This is Denton in the late 90’s

The Underground Railroad to
Candyland - “We Aren’t The World”
This is the prettiest song I’ve ever heard while lying in bed all sick and miserable. Seriously, it’s beautiful and it’s given me the will to live!
