Chips for the Poor – The America’s Trilogy

12 Apr

Listen in to their cassette tape diary, live session on the city’s freeform radio station WZRD and their adventure on the “L” train via Resonance 104.4FM podcasts.

Track listing:
Weather Channel (live at WZRD)
Mobility Plaza (live at WZRD)
Fistula (live at WZRD)

> Further cassette diaries from CFTP’s American odyssey, in a clip originally broadcast on Resonance’s Hello GoodBye Show. Hear the band take in some contemporary art, charity shopping, breakfast burritos, jaywalking, numberplate observations, a Bobby Conn gig, a lot of police sirens and a werewolf attack.

Listen to the podcast here.

> Chips For The Poor’s adventures in Chicago take them dodging local moonbeams and onto TV’s famous kids’ dance party Chic-a-go-go.

Then an aeroplane takes them to the Lone Star State, where the band take to the streets of Austin for South By Southwest, the world’s biggest music festival (2,000 acts play on average 5 gigs each).

Will they live the rock’n’roll dream and finally get given a free drink?
Where is this free barbecue they’d heard so much about?
Will they get out alive or fry on the chair?
Tune in to find out in the last podcast standing.

Track list:
Wet Lands (live in a back garden)
Gracelands, Gracelands (live at Trophy’s Bar And Grill, Austin)

T O N I G H T >>>

The full CFTP gang is back in black n brown and heading for the sunshine studio glare of Resonance FM.

They gonna bang out a live soundtrack to your Saturday night squabbling with the mrs and cracking a broom handle against the neighbours wall…

“Turn that ruddy racket down!”.

Blast them up through the drain pipe so we ping pong off the sky lights and send cloud wavvvves to the ends of the Earth and back.

Switch that dial hard n fast to 104.4 Resonance FM on the 10:30pm dot.

The past shows are ready for your downloadunge/listen-ung pleasure.

This week you get a double blasted poster from blood brothers @billyandalbie

The brown drawing comes fresh from Billy (aged 4)…

It’s a sea monster coming out of the sea [at the top] after eating all the sailors [dead pirates at the bottom] and the round circle in the middle is their boat…

and Albie (aged 2) straight edges it pure and simple with blue lines. He allows the viewer decide on the meaning.

Don’t go changing.
