WHERE DID I LEAVE OFF?

Folks,

Where did I leave off? Hope everyone had a swinging holiday.

Last time out The Mission Express was about to embark on a trek out to Texas and back, swinging up to Flagstaff and Tucson and Pappy and Harriets on the way home. This time around we are embarking on a three person folk rock rampage through the Wild East. [No fighting on the dance floor. But there might be some fighting on the stage]. We’re psyched. People are nuts out there. Honking and yelling and drinking Dunkin’ Donuts coffee. It’s wild. We love it.

It’s the Acoustic Trio lineup we’ve got in store for you. Yours truly, Stephie and Vicente.

Been writing away, too. Listening to nothing but Cumbia jams. Soon we’ll be praying to the record gods. Out loud. More on that later. For now it’s gigsville USA. Dates here and below. Dig in with both hands.

Onwards,

-C

P.S. Meanwhile in Merchville: If you make it out to a show. We’ve dug up some some rare and out-of-print items like T-shirts or import CDs, LPs, 7 inches, or whatever and we’re pretty excited about our new coffee mugs, too.

P.P.S. Beyond that, if you want to get deeper into the real nitty-gritty with some more of my personal writing, you can now follow me over here at Substack.

“Bobby Fuller Died For Your Sins”

BOBBY FULLER DIED FOR YOUR SINS 5TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

Hello folks,

Couple things. First off, we’ve got shows with the Mighty Mission Express. Every Sunday in August up in Penngrove, CA at the Twin Oaks Roadhouse. Low to no ticket alerts are in full force.

Meanwhile, in MERCHVILLE, where if you’re not busy being born you’re busy buying, it’s all about this baby. Yes, the LP which bears the shy, unassuming title BOBBY FULLER DIED FOR YOUR SINS.

BOBBY FULLER DIED FOR YOUR SINS has been re-issued. And you can pre-order the 5th Anniversary Edition LP on limited red marble vinyl!

I know we’re all getting used to being exposed to an overwhelming amount of misinformation, but I assure you: This is all very real.

And yes, we will be hauling merchandise up to Penngrove. So bring your folding money. And let me remind you one more time how we feel about people who say they love vinyl and don’t buy it. Those people have issues that have issues. But we are here to help.

As for BOBBY FULLER DIED FOR YOUR SINS: I suppose you could say this was my California Noir LP. The song “Bad Year for Rock and Roll” is for anyone who’s ever had a bad year and battles late night bouts of loss and faith. There’s more than enough longing, loss and empty feelings to go around these days. But, the music has always been there for me. And hopefully we can all find belief in a better tomorrow where a spark of romance rekindles the ties that bind.

Meanwhile, up to the minute details on shows here: http://chuckprophet.com/gigs

Onwards,

-CP
