The Hoosier Hot Shot Show

June 14, 2004 10:29 PM

Are you ready, Hezzie? I have a complicated family history that allows be to be simultaneously from Washington state and Indiana. Over the last few years my tastes have migrated toward post-rock and traditional music played with a certain frantic desperation. Somehow, I knew that Indiana was a crossroads for these styles of music - but somehow, I missed out on the Hoosier Hot Shots, apparent popularizers of the beloved washboard!

argh, I fixed that link!

...knew that Indiana...

Also, the preview noted that my title link was found in another thread... but it did not link to it, and site-searching 'hoosier' and 'hoosier hot shots' in google or locally came up empty. What giveth, gates?

I'd link to the Proper Records site itself for the proper notes, so to speak, but it's not co-operatin' tonight...

I seed a slab of HH vinyl at the new record store in Georgetown this past week, which led to the Google-hunt! Mercer Street, here I come!

I'll post my obligatory yodel of approval here. Love them Hotshots, and so does my toddling son, who, when they come on, clasps his tiny hands together and moves them in a circle.
