Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

Such an early "parody" cover! Those types of things really got popular in the 1990s...
I'm guessing "Recca" records could not afford flour-color printing.

I bought tix to the Garden Party shows @White Eagle Hall, and did hear about the "family troubles" when they were taken off the bill of their own festival.
Reading between the lines of their announcement, it sounds like the economics of being a DIY band might have reached a breaking point for them, though I can only speculate from the outside looking in.
There's no middle in America these days for anything.

the trend seems to be rising rents and other expenses meet declining attendance. it's unsustainable.

I should have introduced myself before - I'm the guy who sang "Can't Help Falling in Love" at karaoke. When you said "ladies... he's taken" afterwards, it was hilarious!
