Love news
I just located a lot of my bands that are listed on here as unavailable. As I have time, I will restore them for you!! April 2008.
old DISCLAIMER
Our Tentative Times and Tell-Mama are getting raked over the coals for not being up-to-date. Yes, a lot of these bands have folded their tents, some have all sorts of new members. Even the Blue Moon Boys have a new bass player, Pat Borton. Let Pat show you the tattoo of Keith Brewer on his back ! We all miss Keith so much. He was the original bass player for the Blue Moon Boys. Hope he is having a rockabilly Christmas up there with Elvis, Hank and the rest. So remember, this is mostly archival except where noted.

Kenny Love has graciously made his columns available to Tell-Mama readers everywhere! Kenny writes about promoting your independent-label music. Believe me, he's the pro of pros when it comes to promotion, and we would do well to heed his every word. Or at least read and enjoy Kenny Love's music advice and musings.
Griefwork
For young people to lose a friend is about the hardest blow of all in adolescence. Even the adults who knew Audie Pitre (of the band Acid Bath) are grieving the loss to this day. Read about the impact one musician had on his world. Audie and his parents were killed by a drunk driver.
