Rivergods — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:34:13 +0000

Hey y’all! We’re pleased to announce we’ve got a new single out on the the Good Sponge Sampler Vol. 1, a brand new compilation of SE Connecticut-affiliated bands. Yes, it’s “Squeezin’”, one of live favorites. Special guest David Dorfman (Above/Below, David Dorfman Dance) on accordion and baritone sax. Check it out:

PLUS, Rivergod-ess Nancy Parent has a brand new solo tune called “Memo” on the comp, recorded with Hugh Birdsall (the Reducers, Dogbite). It’s very driving and guitar-y… take a listen:

Both tracks, and more available at goodsponge.com. ($.99 each… cheap!)

Here’s a live version of “Squeezin’” from Friday 1/27/12, when we stopped by the Hygienic Hootenanny in New London, CT, to play a few numbers… enjoy:
