Business Casual

Toggle Switch's Roanoke, Va., correspondent Jimmy Thomas gets a big thank you for hipping me to Doug Cheatwood and The Bastards of Fate, a band so weird and and unpredictable, I'm considering driving to the Star City just to see a show by them (and hang out with the supremely cool Mr. Thomas). The songs posted on Cheatwood's MySpace page include the shambling country-funk tune "Digging Up the Dinosaurs," the distortion-drenched freakout "We Can Rock You Know We Can," and the twisted technopop of "Business Casual."

Give me more of this stuff, please.
