The Ghost Of Fudge Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Fudge present:THE MALPASO GANG Press Release:"Aberdeen's newest country band, the Malpaso Gang, proud heirs to the long tradition of outstanding country music rooted in the fertile forelands of the Grampian Highlands have claimed the title of... 'Best Indie Band' in the Aberdeen Fudge Music Awards.They credit their success to a profound love for professional wrestling set to a soundtrack of Buck Owens, and their legions of adoring fans."We're so proud" said spokesperson Nina Eggens after downing her 8th shot of whiskey and shooting out all the bottles behind the bar, aiming from the hip. "It's all down to Hank Williams song 'Rambling Man", she said. It was the train whistle that apparently set off the fusilade, claiming the lives of the cheap liquor behind the bar. No survivors were reported.No news as yet about posting bail for the Gang's sharpshooting lead singer. That might need to wait while the band raises money to pay off the bar bill.The bar tab resulted from drinking following the brawl that erupted when, while claiming an unrelated award for a stranded steel guitarist, Matt Duncan made an insightful comment about a neighbouring city in an unfortunate moment of candor and honesty. Dave Haxton, off to fetch another pint, could not be reached for comment.All of which is appropriate, because as we all know, country music is all about true stories. And all this, we swear, is true."Support from:ACID FASCISTSAcid Fascists | Free Music, Tour Dates, Photos, Videos"In his novel, The Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo, Oscar Zeta Acosta refers to Charles Manson's family as acid fascists. We like to believe that an alternate universe exists where Manson chose the path of rock n roll over the insanity of racism and celebrity slaughter. In this universe we would be his band.........WELCOME TO THE INGLORIOUS WORLD OF ACID FASCISTS!"FOXHUNTINGfoxhuntingSinger/songwriter type acoustic acts have a bad record for pulling out of shows at the Moorings over the years. It's probably the impending terror that does it. Anyway! No matter, let's try again with some upbeat Aberdonian folk-rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
