“Some Stupid Metal Bee Gees Abortion”
From the people that brought you the face-melting, seizure-inducing Bustle In Your Hedgerow comes the next great quasi-tribute band: Tragedy makes its debut at BB King’s Blues Club this Thursday night, opening for The Aquabats.

The all-metal, fuck-your-face tribute to the Bee Gees has at least eight shows lined up along the east coast, and after sampling the raucously imaginative versions of More Than a Woman and Stayin’ Alive the group has posted on its MySpace page, we think you’d all be silly little fuckers not to take in the latest offering from the folks at Rocks Off, or Rocks Offering if you will.
Among the planned shows, Tragedy opens for Umphrey’s McGee at the Nokia Theatre on October 20th. We just hope Umphrey’s can follow the madness.
Slade Sohmer
In 2006 Slade Sohmer founded Hidden Track along with current EiC Scott Bernstein. Slade ran the site until 2008, establishing a scope of coverage and level of professionalism that still exists today. In 2010 Sohmer founded HyperVocal with Lee Brenner and the "purveyors of the vital and viral" have gone on to create a network of highly acclaimed sites that includes Headlines That Suck, Weeping Elvis, Distriction and Spike The Water Cooler.

I love that they are selling a track on their website for $50!

16???!!! You mean I WOULDN’T have gone to jail after all!!!
DAMN!!!
Wait, so is this Russo, Metzger, Driewitz et. al.
What do you mean by “people that brought you?”
No, it’s an entirely different band…Bustle was essentially a Rocks Off creation. So is this. Sorry for the confusion.
You’re quote about the band ended up on their myspace page.
ok… sounds cool… anybody “noteworthy” in the lineup, Ace?
Sweet, Shag! Thanks for the heads up.
No real household names, Oliver…the band mixes a few people from Satanicide, Moi and Children of the Unicorn. I’m told Brooklyn-based keyboardist Corn Mo will be playing with the band but not on the first couple gigs. Three frontmen, though, just like the Brothers Gibb.
I can’t make it Thursday, but I think it’s a hilarious project.
