Anyway! I haven't tried uploading video to this blog before, mostly because it's easy to link and that way, I don't get in trouble (Well, if someone was really going to get mad about me giving them free promotion for no profit...But anyway...) Today's an exception, because this new song came as such a surprise for me, and once again I wasn't able to link to youtube. So, if somehow, for some reason, Mr. Kevin McMahon is reading this and wants it removed...let me know, sir!
Kevin MacMahon is a hard guy to follow. After an amazing debut as Prick, he released a second album, The Wreckard (Nice pun.) on his own website which, after a time (Before I managed to get a copy...) vanished. I'd also read about his releases as Lucky Pierre, but was never able to find them around. A few years ago I found that the people at www.luckyprick.net/, as well as being the most AVID of fans, to a level that's damn impressive, were producing re-issues of The Wreckard, Lucky Pierre's albums AND two side projects I'd never even heard of, Fear of Blue and (Sic.) So in exchange for some shiny pennies I was able to get hold of some obscure treasure. Try contacting them from their contact section if you're trying to hunt this stuff down - It might still be available. So it's all been quiet since 2008-ish, when Lucky Pierre's last album came out.
This was uploaded to youtube four months ago, and luckypierre's official site contains only this. I wonder what's in the works?
Anyway, the song's a short little guitar driven tune about fires on trains. I really like Kevin's odd voice, it seems to always be right in the mid section between high and low, always a bit unsure and wobbly. Noice. I hope something comes of this! I'll keep an ear to the...well not ground. To...The internet, essentially.
