Dunno if this is already old news for everyone, but since I couldn't find an existing topic for it, here goes:

In The Red Records Facebook announcement:
"This new un-named band recorded a single this week at NY Hed studios. Mick Collins, Bob Bert and Kid Congo Powers. Sounds awesome!!"

The Great Uncles of Garage Rock! WIPPEEE! This should be sweeet...

His friends call him "Kid".

Cool, this should be good and interesting. Keep us posted!

+1 I can't get over Bob's "C'mon guys, let's ROLL! I'm peeing my pants here!" pose...

 Maybe we could meddle and interfere by staging a contest to name the band. Actually , I think "The Great Uncles" is a great name !

Only recorded a single? bummer... 

You'd think that a collaboration with these three would warrant at least a 6 or 8 song EP... pressed on 10", please.  On fire marbled vinyl.

GENIUS! We could collect collect a bunch of suggestions here and post a top 3 list or something to the ITR Facebook page! 

Or should we just propose The Great Uncles...?

Thank you , Jarkko. Even Mike Hurtt does'nt think I'm a genius. Usually. You made my day.

Heh, glad to make it.  But I really think a name contest could be fun. Plus, I don't think the band minds the extra attention...

So I hereby declare the contest OPENED! The game is on! Come up with a name for the band, and if this gets going good, I think we'll bring the (best) suggestions to the attention of the elderly gentlemen themselves. Here goes:

The Great Uncles (by John Battles)

I'd hardly call 'em "Elderly ", though....Mick is younger than me , and Kid only has a couple of years on me.
