The long awaited new release from Count Draculas Weed Smugglin’ Jam Engine is finally here! Once voted Worst Band Name by The Onion, Smokey Farris, Preston Dukes and Tim Bond continue to bring this cherished Austin psych-lounge tornado rock. Rumored to be an EP of at least 8 new songs! The album comes presented in a way you’ve never experienced before. Each CD will come in a brown paper bag (see photo) and the CD will be between two slices of real bread and placed in a zip lock baggie. Stay tuned on purchasing this item as we haven’t figured that part out yet, but we will soon.

Bundy Hill Recordings: The Informal Sessions 2006-2009
2009, Business Deal Records

This compilation is a chronicle of the get togethers, group intoxications, and one-time projects that have happened at Bundyhill Recording Studio since it began in 2006. No plans were made for any of these songs and you’ll see the same names come up in many different combinations. For the most part these songs were conceived, written, played and recorded in one session.

This has been the preferred mode of creation since Business Deal began and various friends & associates
continue the tradition with this release. Includes members of Woven Bones, Cavedweller, Horse + Donkey, Pataphysics, The Mathletes, Monkeytown, Charles Potts Magic Windmill Band, The Carrots, New York Knife Fight and many others.

BD Lotto show flyer.

Band Lotto Show!

Band Lotto 2: a musical experiment where 41 people signed up to be randomly sorted into bands with total strangers. They were randomly assigned instruments, song subjects and musical genres. We have compiled these songs and are ready to release and present them!

BAND LOTTO 2 LISTENING PARTY
Sunday December 13, 2009
5 – 8PM, $6 admission (free CD)
@ Okay Mountain

Everyone who attends gets a free CD with the price of admission. And there is free kegga Anchor Steam XXXmas Ale! All for only $6. Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Get there on time if you want to partake in the keg and be sure to get a CD before they might sell out.

We will present these songs to you! And you can sign up for Band Lotto 3.

And Austinist.com Reports:

You may remember the wacky experiment staged by Business Deal Records last year that featured thirty-three Austin musicians being shuffled into bands and assigned instruments, all dictated by the whim of a cold and unfeeling lottery system. Well, the album that resulted from the lotto sessions was a blast, and they’re at it again.

This year, the process of song creation became even more strictly defined by a “genre randomization feature” which required participants to craft songs along the lines of “techno, easy listening, heavy metal, and Christmas music.” And like last year, when every band was required to base a song around the theme of “baby fat,” this year each group had to write a glam rock song about “jerks.”

From the Business Deal press release: “The process of Band Lotto is truly the reward, but this year we are doubly blessed because the finished product is actually amazing. Do not be surprised if you are astounded upon listening to this CD. There are so many diamonds buried throughout you might think it was sponsored by DeBeers.”

Actually, Bundyhill Studios will be supplying refreshments, and the whole powwow will be going down at OK Mountain Studios. Admission is six dollars, which includes a copy of the compilation. Bands formed during the project will perform and/or show music videos, and sign-up sheets for the third installment of the Band Lotto will be on hand.
