El caso que me acaban de enviar un mensaje privado por el myspace que van a estar de Gira por Europa y van a pasar por España y están buscando promoción o montarles un bolo (más bien lo segundo por lo que me han comentado colegas). No lo tengo muy claro porque dice que es la primera vez que van a tocar por aquí y al meterme en su myspace he visto que ya tocarón en Mallorca en 2008...
Os dejo el mensaje por si os interesa. Dadles una escucha, que merecen mucho la pena, de verdad:

Hello,
My name is Scott Blinn, of The Mississippi Mudsharks and Double Barrel Records. We will be on tour this Fall (Sept-Oct), and are playing in Spain and France for the first time.
We're looking for promotions to get the name, the band, and the music "out there" before we tour. We're already well known in Germany, Belgium, and in parts of Switzerland, Austria, and Holland...but "breaking new ground" in spain and France.
If there's anything you could do or recommend to help, we'd appreciate it. You can contact me, or our agency Teenage Head Music (Belgium). Our contact there is Carmen.
Thanks, and look forward to hearing from you.

Y un poco de la promo, visitad el myspace y entenderéis lo que os digo de la gira que pone que hicieron en Europa en 2008, tocaron también en un par de fechas con Tito & Tarantula.
Described as "Screamin' Jay Hawkins meets the Cramps", and drawing as much from Lightnin' Hopkins and John Lee Hooker as from the Clash and Social Distortion, The Mississippi Mudsharks is a hard hitting band that crosses many musical lines. 17 years of performing, recording, and touring have made this band masters at their craft, creating a truly original sound all their own. And they?ve managed to intensify that greasy and raw attitude and sound they?ve been known for since day one.
Formed in 1992 by Scottie "Mad Dog" Blinn (guitar/vocal) and Tom Essa (drums/vocal), the Mississippi Mudsharks were one of the top roots and blues acts out of San Diego during the 90's. During that time the band racked up 3 consecutive "Best Blues Band" awards from the San Diego Music Awards, 2 number 1 CD's on the CrossCut Blues Charts in Europe, played over 300 nights a year, and toured relentlessly in the States and in Europe...
