Ottomobile the Moaners featured in Local Licks

Hey There Folks,

Pick up the East Bay Express this week and check out the Local Licks section. Ottomobile and the Moaners have been written up by Kirsty Evans.

Here is what she had to say:
Ottomobile and the Moaners, The Lost Songs of Otto Mobile

Supposedly inspired by a dream visit from singer Matt Lundquist’s great-great-grand-uncle Otto, this rollicking tribute to the old days is classic Americana. Boozy, twangy, and often rather funny — this is what country sounded like before it went pop, when it still had the blues. (Brave Scarecrow Records)

Freight and Salvage January 7th

Here is the details on our big show at the Freight and Salvage on January 7th.  We will be performing in the middle slot after the blues blitz of  Ottomobile and the Moaners and before the always shredding Buxter Hoot’n.

Show starts at 8pm. $15.50 Door $14.50 Presale.

East Bay Express Best of 2009

We are happy to announce that T.V. Mike and the Scarecrowes made Nate Seltenrich of East Bay Express top ten favorte records of 2009

Here is what he had to say.

With Devendra Banhart, the Freight & Salvage, and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass commanding national spotlights, why shouldn’t the Bay Area be a bastion of self-styled folk revivalism? But a banjo and a stash of Pete Seeger records does not a 21st-century folkie make. There must be a broader vision — something to warrant trotting out the old familiar tropes. Rooted as surely in the West Oakland warehouse that frontman TV Mike calls home as in the timeless continuum from Seeger to John Fogerty to the Avett Brothers, TV Mike & the Scarecrowes excel on vision and execution alike. Part string band, part cow-punk (at times recalling fellow locals the Trainwreck Riders), and gently transcendent through and through, their debut reveals no shortage of ideas, nor of skill to see them through. The whole thing, from TV Mike’s alluring drawl to Toby Oler’s slow-stepping banjo, resonates to a frequency all its own. (Brave Scarecrow Records)
