¡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.

I've been meaning to post on the blog for a good while now. Most of you probably know me, but for reasons unknown my name is Duke Yowie. Please find attached the first copy of my solo efforts recorded between 2001 and 2010. Recently my computer blew up, and I lost a lot of my work, about 200 tracks or so. Some of it was already retained in digital and tape format. (At the time windows 2000 was very stable) So this is a selection of what pieces I have left. I have been trying to compile it all for a while using various mixing methods, but I just want to draw a line. It's really just a fucked up mess. So here it is "Es Fs Ts" (Other people are fucking assholes") compressed into just under 40 minutes.
