Me? I’ve recorded a drum track for Andrew Chalfen’s contribution to the upcoming Philly Plain Parade compilation project called SONGS FROM THE SIXTH BOROUGH. (Oh look! the Motherfucking Clash are covering “Take Me Apart”!). I also just completed the drum tracks for a new set of songs by longtime friend Mike Ace. Recorded at Hugh Hamilton’s “Office” studio, the finished tracks were sent to Mike for mixing. More details and links when both of these projects are completed.
UPDATE: The SONGS FROM THE SIXTH BOROUGH compilation is now available for download. You can also preview the tracks from an online stream.
I’ve added back links to the information on the “Now We Are 20” CD and the “Philadelphia In Love” DVD. Of course these and all our other CD’s are available on Amazon (DVD Available Here).

Low Budgets are also playing in Boston at O’Brien’s Pub on Friday night, December 9, in case you care and are in the area.
Aric, glad you like the BOTM. Low Budgets just played in Philly on Sunday at the FUC. I think (not sure) our next show will be on New Year’s Eve at the Stabbin’ Cabin in West Philly.

I live in Jax,florida and the scene here has been dying for the last ten years. The last time I saw the Milkmen was at Einstiens a go-go(which died a decade ago)
there is still two decent live venue spots here (Jack rabbits and Thee Empirial) and I wish you all would stop by sometime in the next 20 years or so. The Milkmen helped shape my musical tastes at a young age and the music is ageless.There are alot of us here in town that would show support if you all stopped in.Drop me a line and tell me whats up, and let me know of any shows you’ve booked in the area.
thanks.
Steve.
