ZYGOTEENS: Best Tracks of 2010 (Kind Turkey)

Bobby Hussy of THE HUSSY and Kind Turkey Records is a man of good taste and voted Milwaukee's THE ZYGOTEENS "Sleeping with the Stereo On" as one of his favourite tracks in 2010 on his Kind Turkey webpage (http://www.kindturkey.com/). Thanks dude! For all of you who don't know: Timmeheiehumme Records released the fabulous 4-track EP of THE ZYGOTEENS in late-summer 2010 and it's still a killer! If you wanna order it just drop a line. I think there are also a few left of the limited edition with silkscreened covers. GO FOR IT!!!

Here's what Bobby had to say:
Catchy as hell. It veers toward pop-punk at times, but I think the hard-edged production, tough guitars, rawness and sneer make it a lot more punk than pop. And punk CAN be catchy too, can’t it? Out on a brother label of P-Trash’s: Timmeheiehumme Records (Also home to the EXCELLENT Corporate Rock Knockout Zine). Yes, REALLY hard name to say, and even harder to spell.

European Tour 2011: Steve Adamyk Band / Sonic Avenues

Happy new year to y'all!

THEY ARE COMING! Our friends from the STEVE ADAMYK BAND and SONIC AVENUES will tour Germany and Europe in spring 2011! Wowee, this will be so great!!! Find the tour-dates below. If they play somewhere near to you go and see them! If they don't play somewhere near, get in your car and drive you jerk (or die dumb)!

More great news: For that tour TIMMEHEIEHUMME RECORDS (that is us) and P.Trash will release a split-EP of both bands. I already listened to 3 of the 4 songs and they K-I-L-L!!! The EP will be ready for the tour, Dave (STEVE ADAMYK BAND) is working on the final mix while I'm writing this...

MORE great news: Both bands will play the headquarter-town of the CRKO zine: Minus-Rockcity Meppen! We'll see if we can erase that "Minus" out of the "Rockcity" that evening, haha. Damn, the date is sandwiched between Amsterdam and the mighty PIT's... But anything is possible, it will be April 1, time for April-fool tricks... The show will hopefully be the release-party for the newest issue of the CRKO Fanzine, too! I hope I have it all finished until then, it's kinda chaotic at the moment, but I think it's possible. Stay tuned for the first preview on CRKO #2 in the next days and weeks.

Oh, and maybe the Meppen-show will be the release-show for the tour-EP, too! Party double-feature!!! I know, I know... it's the next to last day of the tour, but we're only amateurs, haha...
