The Bags

Note: while this is the official Bags myspace page, if you need to contact The Bags, please go to http://www.thebags.org and shoot Crispin an email there. While I am working with the band, I will only be handling the friend requests and comments here, and I will not forward ANY myspace-based messages, gig requests, and so forth to the band. While band members will no doubt be checking in on the myspace site periodically, please go to the official Bags website if you need to contact them directly.



Thanks!

LATEST NEWS:



Latest news: In late April of 2007, The Bags released a mighty follow-up to Sharpen Your Sticks, the 14-cut, aptly-titled album Mount Rockmore. With ace producer Carl Plaster (Sebadoh, Buffalo Tom, The Mighty Mighty Bostones, etc.) at the helm, this new full-length marries the slash-and-burn aesthetic of Sharpen Your Sticks with some adventurous muscle-stretching that shows that The Bags haven't lost their knack for righteous rock opera exuberance (case in point being the eight-plus minute song suite "Dark Days In the Valley;" the guys apparently still jam with Maloney.). All in all, Mount Rockmore is a loud, sharp, and frequently (cold) tongue-in-cheek record that defies anyone in earshot not to hoist the two-fisted devil horns. Many a smiling head will bang. The disc is now available at numerous Newbury Comics locations and online at Stanton Park Records, CD Baby, and iTunes.
