Free download MP3 "Light As A Feather" at Amazon

Trip out with Mondo Drag!
From deep in the cosmos of Iowa, this psychedelic outfit has created a strange brew of garage, psych, space, sludge and stoner rock. "New Rituals," their debut for Alive, is an incursion into extended psychedelic blues guitar jams and haunting vocals over heavy, steady bass lines and thumping percussion. Mondo Drag has shared the stage with bands such as Witchcraft, Pentagram, and Radio Moscow, to name just a few.

HENRY'S FUNERAL SHOE European tour dates!


HENRY'S FUNERAL SHOE debut album "Everything's For Sale" out now on CD, vinyl, and digital


Their sound can be heavy as a 2000 lb. budgie, menacing as a back-alley swaying drunk, and when they crank up the riffing or let rip with some high-octane slide, it’s as transporting as anything by post-Mississippi Fred McDowell. – PopMatters


10 songs just under 35 minutes…and a fantastic first release. – The Neus Subject


Everything’s for Sale boasts both stripped-down force and high-impact emotional energy, with Aled’s vocals suggesting both Tom Waits’ grit and Nick Cave’s gravitas while the guitar roars with gutbucket conviction and a rocker’s desire to turn that volume knob to the right. Henry’s Funeral Shoe are a truly fine band, regardless of their small size. – All Music Guide


This is a band that proves the nu-blues movement in the U.K is very much awake and raising the bar. – Blues In London

MONDO DRAG Set To Release “New Rituals” on January 26, 2010


From deep in the cosmos of Iowa, this psychedelic outfit has created a strange brew of garage, psych, space, sludge and stoner rock. New Rituals, their debut for Alive, is an incursion into extended psychedelic blues guitar jams and haunting vocals over heavy, steady bass lines and thumping percussion.

Formed by Johnnie Cluney (drums/vocals), Nolan Girard (rhythm guitar/vocals), John Gamino (keyboards/saxophone), Dennis Hockaday (bass), and Jake Sheley (lead guitar) the band is flying head-first into the future, while channeling artists from the past; Pink Floyd, Pentagram, Blue Cheer, even Hendrix are part of their musical lexicon, while Sonic Youth hint to their current references.

“They rock. Most songs clock in at over 6 minutes, yet you don’t notice the time go by because they seem to take that long just to rev up. Each song stretches, cries, screams, and tears itself apart.” - Berkeley Place

Mondo Drag has shared the stage with bands such as Witchcraft, Dead Meadow, Pentagram, and Radio Moscow, to name just a few. They’ll be touring in Feb/March...
