Everyone should check out Red Sammy. They're outta Baltimore and totally Bad@#$ and do some really cool shows/events. Especially if you like haunting music (there is a saw player) and literature.

Artists and writers gang up for one major opening night
(Red Sammy, Michael Kimball, and Publishing Genius Press Host One Night of Three Releases)

On Saturday, December 20th @ Metro Gallery (FREE SHOW) Red Sammy will release their new album, Dog Hang Low; author/filmmaker Michael Kimball will preview an excerpt of I Will Smash You; and Publishing Genius Press will release its latest book, The Origin of Paranoia as a Heated Mole Suit by poet and man-about-town, Rupert Wondolowski.

Red Sammy is regarded for their "graveyard country rock" style and the literary attributes of their songs. They were formed in 2005 by frontman Adam Trice. Dog Hang Low is their sophomore album. They will perform their new songs as well as a handful of older tunes at the release party. (Official Press Release Attached) www.redsammy.com

Michael Kimball is the author of three books, most recently the critically acclaimed novel, Dear Everybody. In I Will Smash You, Kimball interviews guests just before they are recorded using baseball bats, fire, scissors, axes and sledgehammers to smash items that are important to them. Things that were destroyed include military discharge papers, heirlooms, and a Ford Taurus. http://michael-kimball.com/

Publishing Genius Press will release its fifth book, this latest is by Rupert Wondolowski, organizer of The Shattered Wig Night (Baltimore's longest running reading series). Wondolowski will be there to read from his new book of poems, The Origin of Paranoia as a Heated Mole Suit. http://www.publishinggenius.com/
