¡Dead Man's Stroll & Other Popular Favourites!



¡Do The Dead Man's Stroll! With Al Hotchkiss!




Released 28 February 2011


¡Dead Man's Stroll & Other Popular Favourites!' released by Howling Moon Records is a Down And Dirty Lo-Fi Patchwork Intensification Of Psychedelia, Garage And Surf Reverberations from the brainpower of one part of the trio of Los Tentakills, Al Hotchkiss.

With influences such as Link Wray, 13th Floor Elevators,Bloodshot Bill, the artists of Fortune Records & an idolization for the house style recording & production methods of Joe Meek, Al Hotchkiss has created uncommon devious music subsuming not only inventive original compositions but imaginings of classic songs that he has wrangled into & made his own, spattered with atmosphere and moments of modernity, memorializing reverence & exaltation.

With his emphasis set squarely on playing from the heart truculently in a conscientious and concerted effort to formulate an affinity with you & yours and to perchance set the windmills of your mind turnabout in the concoct.

¡NAME YOUR OWN PRICE! (FREE TO THOSE WHO CAN'T AFFORD & NO SET PRICE FOR THOSE OF A GIVING NATURE)

PERFORMED & PRODUCED BY AL HOTCHKISS

Los Tentakills - Surf Riders



Los Tentakills - Surf Riders from Al Hotchkiss on Vimeo.



Our infamous version of The Lively Ones Surf Rider. Get on your Architeuthis and ride!

You all know me. You know what I do for a living. I'll catch this bird for ya but it ain't going to be easy. Bad fish. It's not like going down to the pond chasing bluegills or tommy cods. This squid. Swallow you whole. Little shaking. Little tenderizing, down you go. Now we gotta do it quick. That will bring back all the tourists and put all your businesses on a paying basis. But it's not going to be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks chief. I'll find him for 3 but I'll catch him and kill him for 10. Now you gotta make up your minds. You want to stay alive anti up. Want to play it cheap. Be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers I don't want no mates, there's too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head. The tail. The whole damn thing. Mr Mayer. Chief. Ladies and gentlemen.
