Awesome Car Funmaker new song? (20.1 MB) High Noon Saloon Madison, WI December 31, 2007

Man, I hate the winter lulls. I know nobody wants to tour small-ish upper midwest cities in December, but I bet this was the longest show drought since I moved to Madison. As you can imagine, New Year's Eve is an easy way to end such a drought -- this year the High Noon put on a six-band/$10 showcase, which is pretty hard offer to refuse.

All the bands were local except for the Dials, who are up here from Chicago often enough to be quasi-local. Starting things off were Awesome Car Funmaker, who were probably making more fun than I've ever seen them do before, and that's saying something. They opened with what they said was a Screamin' Cyn Cyn & the Pons cover, then this tune which might be another cover, or something new, or something that's otherwise not on either of their records. It sounds like their kind of tune, so I suspect it's a new one, or a really old one.
