Three Bad Jacks, Blue Angel Burlesque, Blooddrunk Shenanigans

What:

Three Bad Jacks have been hard at work in the studio recently and are proud to annouce the release of their latest recording ” Pictures and Memories From Home”. Dare I say this record showcases Elvis’ more tender side, but it definitely rocks hard too. I really look forward seeing the new songs performed live.

Blue Angel Burlesque promises to delight and tickle the funny bone as well. Feats of balance and a discussion of the merits of good caulk had me like a moth to flame at their last performance. Prepare to be charmed.

Most of Blooddrunk Shenanigans call Nashville home, and singer Tommy Kin hails from Sydney, Australia. Also with a new record out, “LFAGNO” , (sorry, can’t help with the acronym), the band has a sound that reminds me of the Sex Pistols fronted by Bon Scott. See if you can guess what most of their lyrical content is about.
