Bird Sounds, Puppies & Trains and Voytek supported the Double Bird tour kickoff show. It was a fine evening of musics at The Turf Club and this is one of my all time favorite fliers. Bird Sounds shows are rare and this is why you should consider attending when the chance is there. These are men of higher education and word is there may possibly be one more show in August before the school session starts back up. See you there.

Puppys And Trains...Killing You Softly.

Puppies and Trains are one of the greatest Rock n' Roll bands in the in the seven county metro area. Probably kind of surprised you haven't seen them around town? Well, they don't really believe in "websites" and "promotion" and "social networking" et cetera. Puppies and Trains is Kermit and Math P. from Superhopper along with Drummer Jimmy. This was the Double Bird tour kick off show which also featured top-shelf sets from Bird Sounds and Voytek. Jam city with the AKG 414's in the spot at The Turf Club (07/22/10).

Puppies and Trains is a new band featuring Kermit and Mathew de Superhopper. I had no idea I was going to enjoy this set as much as I did and was on it when it came time to ask Kermit for permission to put it out. I mentioned not having a site to link to in the post and he told me they didn't start this band to enter into that system again. Puppies and Trains is a band I can throw my support behind website or no website. I'm not exactly sure how many shows they've played but I don't believe any recorded material is available yet. Please enjoy your first listen if that's the case.

Puppies and Trains were on the bill with Mr. Mustachio, Dragons Power Up!, Kill to Kill.
