Plushgun

The four track self-titled Plushgun EP was a pleasant surprise when it was released in August of this year. Brooklyn citizen Daniel Ingala, the musician behind this project, released a follow-up EP Dancing In A Minefield (just two songs and four remixes) testing the waters for the full-length Pins & Panzers.

Apparently Plushgun isn't very prolific. All the EP tracks are used for the album, so there are only six new songs on Pins & Panzers. On the upside: he knows how to write catchy tunes with meaningful lyrics, with A Crush To Pass The Time as the stand-out track.

HCTF review of the Plushgun EP.

Jambands.com has confirmed the rumours of a New Monsoon plus former String Cheese Incident members project called The Contribution:

Watch for music from The Contribution, a new project that presently includes (Tim) Carbone and The String Cheese Incident's Keith Moseley and Jason Hann along with Jeff Miller and Phil Ferlino from New Monsoon. The Contribution will be studio-bound in '09 to record self-penned material to be released later in the year.
