Shut Up and Deal, by Rubber Band Gun

Shut Up and Deal

by Rubber Band Gun

supported by

nyc-25 Most musicians crumble under pressure. Not Kevin Basko. “Shut Up and Deal”, the 50 something record of Rubber Band Gun, was a week away from release. Kevin takes to Instagram to say he has only half the songs written. Almost anyone at this time would maybe postpone the release, cut the double album down a little, or even go into hiding? Not “The Chicken”. Kev proceeds to channel his inner Van Dyke Parks (who he kinda resembles) and lays down some of his most groundbreaking work to date. 🃏♥️🕶️ Favorite track: Family Biz.

Entire album is excellent. As is the rest of the catalog. Go back to 1970...take the Dead and Floyd and roll them up. Yet completely different. Just plain old GOOD MUSIC. Ed Fransko
