Here is a cool video my friend Chris sent from the forthcoming documentary he’s making about one of my favorite band’s ever, <a href=”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_mink” target=”_blank”>Walt Mink. A year or so ago, the band played a reunion show at the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis and- by all accounts- rocked balls. I had the good fortune of seeing the band live a bunch of times way back in the ’90’s and they were truly inspiring. The singer and guitar player John Kimbrough is one of the best musicians I have ever seen, heard, or known. Now, in this crazy new century, we have become close buddies and- as those of you who perhaps know the inner workings of my life are well aware- play together in the rock band Valley Lodge. As an added bit of trivia, the drummer in this video is Zach Danziger, a world-class drummer and friend who was the third drummer for Walt Mink and is also the guy who played drums on the Valley Lodge album. He was also in a Ruffles potato chip commercial once but I won’t get into that right now. Walt Mink’s bass player, Candace Belanoff also rules as you can tell from watching this here video. She’s also got a baby and shit. Anyway, my point is that Walt Mink rocked/rocks balls and I strongly urge you to seek out any and all of their recordings. It will make your ears happy and your life better in general.
