Well, you guys are in for a real treat here. I used to live in Madison, Wisconsin and every Wednesday we would take a break from the punk rock action at Ocay's Corral and head down to Ken's Bar and Grill to get drunk and entertained by the amazing Cork 'n Bottle String Band. This band just flat out rules live and they didn't really put out many cds or anything so I was really lucky to score this cd which is probably gonna be the only thing you'll even be able to find by them so enjoy this.

Pachinko brings back a lot of really fun memories for me because they used to be the house band at Ocay'z corral in Madison in the mid 90's and I would see them nearly every week opening for a huge list of great punk, metal and noise bands. They always rocked. So here's one of a couple full lengths they managed to put out and it's pretty damn insane. To me they sound like a mix between the God Bullies, early Butthole Surfers and the Melvins.
