The Plague and Moldy Basement Tapes
Hello pals,

Lots of bad news today…

Firstly, Those Poor Bastards’ “The Plague” is now available on green vinyl (with digital download) in a deluxe gatefold jacket. They are hand-numbered and limited to 500 copies.

Secondly, Lonesome Wyatt and the Holy Spooks’ “Moldy Basement Tapes Vol. 2” has been pressed on limited-edition black vinyl (with CD) in a vintage style-chipboard jacket. Only 250 of these hand-numbered creatures were created.

Finally, to make matters even worse, both albums are also released on black cassettes (limited to 100 copies each!). Come on over and have yourself a look.

Your friend in misery,
Lonesome Wyatt

Hey, Lonesome Wyatt, thank you for restoring hope in me. Thank you for showing me that music could still be as innovative, creative, and show just as much raw emotion as it ever has to me.

Those Poor Bastards: Top 15 Milwaukee Show of 2011

Screen shot 2013-06-09 at 9.42.16 PM

Guitarist and frontman Lonesome Wyatt—with his long black hair, top hat, and wide, laser-shooting eyes—projected a sort of rockabilly Peter Steele bravado that could be aptly described as “hilariously evil.”
