Cigarhead Gets Chunked

...while we try to look ever-forward here at The Buddha Den, every so often we are given pause and take time to reflect on Dayton's rich musical legacy. More often than not, it's the fault of the kids over at Fictionband. Today they announced the fifth installment of their vault-mining Cut Little Chunkies series, offering up the Cigarhead album (put out on cassette no less!) by 12 x 12 Records. If you were unfortunate enough to miss this the first time around, consider Fictionband your guardian angel and grab this for FREE RIGHT HERE...

take it or leave it....

...as if local labels haven't done enough lately to help the Dayton music scene, both Fictionband and Squids Eye Records have offered up new samplings from the Gem City. While combing through the past, Fictionband has come up with random offerings from Ohio Casket and Cigarhead. For those of you who missed them the first time, take a listen and dig the history. Meanwhile, Squids Eye Records has made a new track available from the long-defunct Jet Kid Committee in advance of the promise of a 4-song EP from the outfit later this fall. Why? Well, keep in mind that Jet Kid Committee was the breeding ground for such current Dayton fixtures as Grizzzzy Bear and Yakuza Heart Attack, as well as the massively underrated Scott Deadalus. Just have a listen....
