This is awesome. Y’all need to support Ami and Jason. They really know how to rock it out.
Press release:
This October Asheville’s uke-abilly duo Mad Tea Party is releasing ZOMBIE BOOGIE, a fun, spooky, Halloween EP.
“So you thought vinyl was dead? And the ukulele? And letterpress? Well, think again – they have risen from the grave.” the band warns.
The EP is a collectible 33 rpm 7” vinyl record with a disturbing letterpress cover created at Hand-cranked Letterpress. The four tracks on the EP capture Jason Krekel (guitar, drums) and Ami Worthen (ukulele, guitar) at their most raw and rockin’. As an added treat, they are joined by Henry Westmoreland (sax) for two songs. With two originals and two obscure covers, ZOMBIE BOOGIE is certain to get you in the mood for the Halloween season. Brave souls who dare to purchase the vinyl record also receive a download card to get mp3s of all four songs, plus a bonus song.
The ZOMBIE BOOGIE 7″ is available at Mad Tea Party shows. The band will be on tour supporting the record this month, culminating with a Halloween show opening for Southern Culture on the Skids in Morganton, NC. You can also order the 7″ through their website, www.themadteaparty.com. In Asheville, it is avaialbe at Harvest Records, Static Age, Voltage Records, Karmasonics and the Costume Shoppe.
