DANNY AND THE NIGHTMARES
THE COLLABORATION OF DANIEL JOHNSTON, JASON AND
BRIGET BEGAN "April Fool's Day 1999, Waller, Texas... Bridget
and Jason, two recent Ohio transplants discover that the
legendary songwriter Daniel Johnston lives in the same very
small town in which they do. They make contact, and make
arrangements to have a spaghetti dinner with Daniel at their
home. The spaghetti was never made. Instead, when Danny
noticed the collection of lame, broken musical instruments and
the 25 dollar drum kit gathering dust in the couple's home, he
insisted that they jam. The three plugged in, pressed record on
the boombox, and recorded half of what would become the
self-released demo c.d., "April 1999". It became immediately
obvious that the three had a magical connection, sharing
affinities for bizarre music, horror films, and soda-pop." THUS
BEGAN A PROLIFIC OUT POURING OF SONGS AND SHOWS BY
THE ENIGMATIC TRIO. MISC. IS EXCITED TO RELEASE THE
SONGS OF THESE LOCAL HEROES.
THEIR NEW SONG, "RED HOT SEX" IS AVAILABLE NOW ON THE
