From Kev at BSM –
“As part of our 100th release celebrations we’re going to be running a few competitions, and this is possibly my favourite of the lot. Dad Rocks! has offered to record covers of four BSM back catalogue songs, as voted for by you! The tracks will be made available online as a free EP before October 24th (the day we take ‘Partied Hard’ DVD off sale) and one lucky voter will be chosen at random to win a copy of the Dad Rocks! ‘Digital Age’ CD, a t-shirt, a copy of BSM100 and a selection of other Big Scary Monsters goodies.
So, would you like to hear Snaevar have a crack at something by Tall Ships? Or maybe a gentle version of Pulled Apart By Horses? Perhaps you’ve always wondered what Kevin Devine or Andrew W.K. would sound like with Scandinavian accents? Just please don’t suggest Adebisi Shank, we’ve gotta give the man a chance!
Mimas, Snaevar’s other band, recorded a version of This Town Needs Guns classic ’26 Is Dancier Than 4′ last year – Check out Dad Rocks! on Bandcamp (http://dadrocks.bandcamp.com/) and then send your cover votes (each person can nominate up to 3 tracks) to bsmrocks@googlemail.com or via Twitter (@bsmrocks) by 12pm Friday 24th September. The results will be announced the following Monday when one voter will be drawn at random to win the above prize. Look out for the first Dad Rocks! UK live dates being announced very, very soon…”
Get involved!
