Fangs and Twang ended 2018 with 2 mystical days at Willis Sound. With Jim Roll in the captain seat, we recorded the guts for our third record, ‘Spirits and Chasers’, slated for spring release. We were honored to be joined by  Loren Kranz (Barbarossa  Brothers) on piano/organ, and Mark Wallace (Wallace Guitars) and Colin Murphy (Back Forty, Anna Lee’s Co.) in fiddle.  We cannot wait to unleash these songs to the wild.

Until then, tune in weekly at 9pm on Thursday’s for our Facebook live streamed “Live from the Garage” series, with confirmed sightings at Lansing Brewing Company on January 25th and Mash Ann Arbor on February 28th.

We are spending the end of winter and the waning nights creating some new monster tunes for you…Swamp Thing, Dragons, and Ogopogo…we are looking at you!  Next shows are a Friday the 13th show in April at Bemo’s in Bay City with the Hellbound Drifters and May 1st at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor.

Thanks to all for a great 2017! We released our second record “High Fives All Around”, played with a host of great bands (Barbarossa Brothers, Back Forty, Freight Train Rabbit Killer, Valentiger, Jake Simmons, and more), got to return to some of our favorite festivals and venues, and play some new ones as well! We kick off 2018 with a few area shows:

• January 5 – First Friday DIY Paint Party at Ypsilanti Paint and Pour
• January 13 – David Bowie Tribute at Conor O’Neills in Ann Arbor
