Creamtastic Spring Hill Spider Party Drop Full-length on iTunes
Posted by Adam Gold on Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 10:47 AM
Who in Nashville could ever forget Spring Hill Spider Party? The Jason and the Nashville Scorchers of LGBT-friendly local party bands, between lyrics like "You're burning me alive with your backdraft...wanna enter your sandman / ride your lightning / metal up your / ooh that's frightening...wanna kill 'em all / master your puppet / load and re-load, you know I love it" and elaborate pranks at the expense of Kings of Leon fans, SHSP was/is poet Derek Brown's vehicle for a devilishly fabulous time.
While SHSP are seemingly only active during Brown's sporadic visits to Tennessee, they've finally managed to canonize their message of man-love in the form of a digital full-length, which you can now purchase on iTunes. The album--titled Three Swords and a Gash--includes all the "hits," from "Women be Shoppin' " to "This Club Is Full of Boys," "Kevin's Bacon," "Youth Group" and "Suck My Sunshine." If ironic dance pop about homosexual escapades at locations such as Applebee's--heavily influenced by the Pet Shop Boys and Erasure and written in beautifully explicit language--is what you want up your asscalator of rock--ahem, iTunes library--than you owe it to yourself to download this mother.

Your Jason and Scorchers analogy here is pure sacrilege! Even if you're kidding!

So did anyone ever call the Applebees in Spring Hill and ask for Dr. Carlos Mandable?
That prank got Nashville for Free an ungodly number of views. Ungodly!
In fact, it was the best thing that ever happened to us. Until Chipotle, that is.
Chipotle sucks... Their first album was alright; but after they did that polka fusion cover of Danzig's never released spoken word homage to Pavement's never recorded live album (that happened when they weren't there); well, man, they just went downhill.
(apologies if there is a band named Chipotle--I was referring to the actual chili)
I never really liked the Red Hot Chipotle Peppers, but I guess "True Men Don't Kill Coyotes" was pretty cool.
