Flesh Vehicle makes some Racket!
 As you probably know, Superdrag's Tom Pappas has a side project called Flesh Vehicle, and he's just released a new CD Racket that's full of high-octane, punk-influenced rock 'n' roll.
Racket is Flesh Vehicle's 3rd CD, and you can order it (and the band's other two CDs) from the band's Nimbit OMT -> here.

WARTHOG - Members of Superdrag to play Ramones tributes
 Back in March of 2009, Superdrag's "Senator" Tom Pappas, John Davis and Sam Powers enlisted the help of unstoppable drummer Joey Sanchez to put together a short set of Ramones covers for a Joey Ramone's Birthday benefit gig in aid of lymphoma research at Nashville's Mercy Lounge. They christened themselves WARTHOG for the occasion, to honor the late, great Dee Dee Ramone who penned the song of the same name (which also happened to be in the set that night.) Anyway, they had such a great time playing, they're bringing their Ramones tribute back for a couple more shows! They'll be playing a half-hour set at The Basement's 5th Anniversary show on Feb. 6 in Nashville, and a proper headlining set at Barley's Taproom in Knoxville on Feb. 26.
Sat. Feb. 6 : The Basement : Nashville, TN : 9:00 P.M. : 21+ : FREE SHOW
Fri. Feb. 26 : Barley's Taproom : Knoxville, TN : 8:00 P.M. : 21+ : Special Guests TBA
