Remember when we were talking the other day about how new-border-garagaholics Neil Michael Hagerty and The Howling Hex were releasing a new album and all that jazz?
Well, turns out, I’m totally crazy and that wasn’t “just the other day” at all! Because the band has already toured all over Europe on the thing, and while they were there, they managed to develop, arrange, and ultimately record an entire BRAND NEW JAM of flavor-blasted guitar calisthenics called “Full Moon In Gemini.” They wrote it back in Denver before they left (when the moon was, ya know, in Gemini) and played it “every night” while they were across the pond, ultimately tracking the results in London this past June.
I know, right?! Where has the time gone? Luckily for us, though, they’ll be releasing it on 7-inch via good-ol’ Drag City on September 16, around which time they’ll also be emBARKING on a full-blooded tour of these United States. Head over to Drag City to pre-order your copy ASAP (all the sleeves were paw-painted by Neil himself!) and get-out-there in the moonlight this September, all you furry little USA babies. Ohhhh, yeah!
