Phil gets hickory smoked

Entertainment

Ministry Crony Phil has got himself a new band.  It seems the old band succumbed to a population exposion.  So the new band isn’t power pop with wicked female vocals.  Instead, Phil has maneuvered his way into a folky-rocky type band with wicked female vocals.  Which means that Phil is now halfway to being assimilated by the DC bluegrass borg collective that ate my wife.

The Fragments are no more, long live The Hickories.  It seems that Phil can’t lose for winning.  One band stuffed full of talented musicians sucks the gas pipe and decides to pay attention to real life, so he instantly finds another band stuffed full of talented musicians.  For old time’s sake, give a listen to a Fragments tune, then go listen to two of the new bits, over here.  I’m sure Phil will let me know when they’re playing out, because I asked him to.  And then I will let you know, and if you’re near the nation’s capitol, you can go see them in person, like me. 

[Wik] Looking at the new band’s website, I see that they link to Amy, who is one of the singers in my wife’s band, Dead Men’s Hollow.  It’s a small fricken world, I tell ya.
