the Wisconsin-based outfit incorporates sounds and ideas from more contemporary dark genres and acts — metal, industrial, Nick Cave, and Tom Waits — making music that sounds a bit like a zombie Johnny Cash in a top-hat.

Hey Pals,
The album I did with Rachel Brooke is now ready to ship to your rotten shacks! We sold out of the white vinyl, but there are still some black ones left for all you old fashioned creeps to weep on. Come on over here to have a look and a listen.
your miserable friend,
Lonesome Wyatt

Hey pals,
The new album Rachel Brooke and I made called “A Bitter Harvest” is now available for pre-order. You can listen to clips from all the songs and look at the swell artwork. It’s available in both CD and Vinyl formats. We only have 100 of the limited edition/hand numbered white vinyl records though, so if you want one of those you better get your carcass over there fast. There is also a very heart numbing “A Bitter Harvest” poster under the poster section…
AND! we have a new Those Poor Bastards “Satan is Watching” shirt. The hoodies are also back in stock! There is no end to this disgusting nightmare…
your miserable friend,
Lonesome Wyatt
I just sent in the junk to get the vinyl records and CDs pressed for the Lonesome Wyatt / Rachel Brooke album “A Bitter Harvest.” There will be a limited edition/hand numbered version of the LP that will be pressed on white vinyl with a black haze effect. Only 100 of those awful nightmares will be made. There will also be the regular black vinyl edition so don’t you cry.
The cover will look something like this: 
The track listing will be as follows:
1. This Painful Summer
2. Poor Desperate Fools
3. Scars
4. Someday I’ll Fall
5. Crippled Farms
6. Only the Booze
7. Darkness
8. Never Forget (These Nightmares Are Mine)
9. Empty House
10. Give Up And Die
Oh yeah and the release date will be July 6, 2009.

…have a good time listening to the new Those Poor Bastards masterpiece. And beware: SATAN IS WATCHING.
That awful day is upon us. The new album Satan is Watching is now here. We’ve sent out most of the pre-orders except for the vinyl records. Satan caused some problems at the record pressing plant, but we should hopefully have them next week. For this we apologize.
Also, burn your eyes on these new Satan is Watching posters, drawn and designed by our pitiful pal Keith Neltner.
The red vinyl record sold a lot faster than we thought it would. Sometime next year we hope to get some more pressed on black vinyl. When we have concrete plans we will let you know. To help the process move faster please pray.
