The Shamblers shambled down from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn to grace us with a live performance last Wednesday. Led by husband/wife team of Peter and Jess Speer, and ably augmented by drummer Ben Truesdale, the Shamblers brought their blend of Beat Happening/Home Blitz pop roughness plus classic garage punk action with lyrics to match. More info at their label site (where you can purchase their 100-song mp3 album) and their blog. The full set, plus two FCC-unfriendly bonus tracks found below. Engineered by Trent Wolbe.

good stuff. i hate to coin a phrase like a clueless oldster, but these tracks are FUN. the beat and guitar deliver while the nerdish female vocals stumble quite charmingly. like if the early dead milkmen had a girl on vocals and played better. my only complaint is these tracks are reallllly low, and the music is even lower, while the vocals are gratingly hot. even so, i'm downloading and passing them on. thanks
