When Coverville host, Brian Ibbott, announced on the podcast over the summer that he was looking for artists to participate in a Spinal Tap Tribute CD, the workaholic in me couldn’t resist offering my services. From the menu of unclaimed songs, I chose the Tap’s “Christmas with the Devil” to cover. Brian kindly agreed to give me a shot at it.
I had my friends N and F, from the French grindcore band Nique Ton Foetus, help out with bass, lead guitar, background vocals and a creepy Devil-Santa voice (the boys were here in Los Angeles from Lyon, France for two months this summer interning for our Bull Lee Records label). You can hear an interview with them on Episode 10 of The Bull Pit as well.
Here’s the official press release for Unhenged: A Coverville Tribute to Spinal Tap:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 4, 2009
IN HONOR OF THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE RELEASE OF “THIS IS SPINAL TAP”, COVERVILLE MEDIA ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF THE FIRST EVER DOWNLOADABLE SPINAL TAP ALBUM!
On March 2, 1984, Rob Reiner, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Christopher Guest released what would become one of the most popular mockumentaries of all time, “This Is Spinal Tap”, starring a believable – albeit fictional – heavy metal band. But what makes a band real vs. fictional? The (core) members of Spinal Tap, David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel and Derek Smalls, played all their own instruments, wrote their own songs, released two albums, and even toured.
But they never had a tribute album. Until now.
The long-running podcast and radio show, Coverville, spent the past 8 months assembling independent artists to complete a 13-track tribute album for the band, with artists like indie favorites Paul & Storm, Arrica Rose, John Dissed, Chance, Zapruder Point and Dogs Of Winter. The album features covers of well-known heavy metal parody Spinal Tap tracks, like “Big Bottom” and “(Listen To The) Flower People”, with some tracks performed in a straight-ahead rock style, and others performed with their own tongue-in-cheek humor.
The album can be downloaded for free at: http://coverville.com/spinaltap/
The full tracklist and lineup for the album is:
• Hell Hole – Schnauzer Radio Orchestra
• Tonight I’m Gonna Rock You Tonight – Le Butterface
• Heavy Duty – James Ghofulpo
• Rock and Roll Creation – Dogs of Winter
• Cups And Cakes – Zapruder Point
• Big Bottom – Paul and Storm
• Sex Farm – Bongo Orkest
• Us, Stonehenge, and Them – Chance
• Gimme Some Money – Brian Grosz
• (Listen to The) Flower People – Arrica Rose
• Bitch School – Chris Cohoon
• Break Like The Wind – Dave Verdick
• Christmas With The Devil – John Dissed
Previous Coverville Media projects include a tribute to Supertamp’s “Breakfast in America”, and another for the band Squeeze, which founding Squeeze member Chris Difford used as pre-show music on his tours last summer. The Coverville podcast and radio show recently celebrated its 5th anniversary and 600th episode, and can be found at www.coverville.com.
