"Whipping Post" by Bonerama

 

New Orleans, Louisiana brass funk band Bonerama take Macon, Georgia Southern rock group The Allman Brothers' 1969 roots single "Whipping Post" and grab it by the horns. 

"Kiss Off" by Tilly and the Wall

 

My wife gets to cross an item off of the bucket list later tonight, as she visits the Grand Opera House for an evening with Milwaukee, Wisconsin folk punk band Violent Femmes.

I also get to cross an item off the bucket list, as I'll get to toggle incessantly between playoff baseball and preseason hockey without annoying anyone.

My bucket list is, admittedly, lame.

Here's a cover of "Kiss Off," a tune from the Femmes' 1983 self-titled debut album, from Omaha, Nebraska indie pop group Tilly and the Wall.

For another Femmes cover, Alkaline Trio's version of "I Held Her in My Arms" can be found here.

For a cover by Violent Femmes, their take on "Crazy" can be found here.

"Release" by My Pet Dragon

 

New York City based rock band My Pet Dragon cover "Release," originally a nine-minute long epic from Seattle, Washington grunge gurus Pearl Jam.

The song is, of course, about the Epstein Files.

For another Pearl Jam cover, the Mixed Up Everything version of "Even Flow" can be found here.

"Secret Oktober" by Verdigirls

 

Happy first day of October!
