George W Nixon
“After returning from Mexico in late 2007, George W. Nixon isolated themselves on a mountainside west of Denver to pump out 40 songs in 6 months. Nobody knew where they were, or what they were doing. They were aggressively turning pure rage into bittersweet psychobilly harmonies, and spent most nights howling at the moon over bottles of moonshine. It is here they re-engaged their fascination of the jug band genre, and took to destroying all forms of communication and technology nearby, for lack of an available dime-sack percussion set-up. When finally they stumbled out of the mountains with long beards and missing teeth, smelling of firewood and poppies, they began recording their entire library on cassette tape.
Their single, “Ode To W.” is already on their site in its analog, un-mastered glory. The album, yet untitled, is said to hit ribbon in December, beginning with their ‘hallowed’ celebration of Christember, and the roasting of the lame duck. They promise to release other songs free and streaming up until Christember 1st, when they will throw a VIP cassette-release party at an undisclosed Denver venue. ’"
