As y’all mighta read in the rag this month, area g’rage rockonteurs Fat Creeps are set to rawk-on-tour with the mighty Lentils of verdant and vivacious Brattleboro, Vermont from 7/14 to 7/28. Cherry atop that monster mash sundae is that the Creeps will have in tow a brandy new 12 inch slab o’ vinyl (auspiciously and officiously dropping July 15th) courtesy of do-no-wrong label-of-record Sophomore Lounge + cassette via Gnar Tapes. Said long player is dubbed “Must Be Nice” and you can bet whatever valuable thing you’ve got within reach that it’s an instant classic. Research suggests the Lentils will also have some circles to sling: “My Pillow Lava part One: My Deaf Son” is a glimmering, just-pressed single-sided 12″ out now on West MA’s foremost purveyor of the unequivocally insane, Feeding Tube Records.
Celebrating friendship, art, nice weather, and whatever else it is human beings live for, the Fatties’ holy union with phoenix-esque (having risen from the ashes of one Happy Jawbone Family Band, R-E-S-P-E-C-T) rock entity The Lentils for this mid-summer tour promises us nothing but a towering, syrupy heap of the bitterly sad-happy slop anthems for which both New England pop magicians’ clubs are well-known.
