New Umbrella Brigade

Whitey has teamed up with members of the Brickbats (with whom Stiffs Inc split a 7" single and often performed back in the day) to release a new Umbrella Brigade album called Marchen. The previous Umbrella Bridade wasn't really to my taste, but I love the new one - it's still more electronic than anything by Stiffs Inc, but sounds like a logical next album after Electric Chair Theatre would have sounded. I feel almost as though I'm listening to a new Stiffs Inc album with this one!

From the website you can get a special version that includes a book with a CD, or you can get it for 9.99 on iTunes.  I hope to have more info about this soon; for now, here's the video for "Take Back the Witch."

Electric Chair Theatre on iTunes

Though digital copies of NIX NOUGHT NOTHING are difficult to come by at the moment, the once-rare Electric Chair Theatre, the fantastic second album, is now available on iTunes. Set up a playlist and match it to Metropolis!

That Jesse Malin played on a bill with Stiffs Inc fascinates me.
