Workout 2024 in Sweden!

My new favorite band name is Sticky & the Bombs! With a cover of "Workout" by Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers.

Japanese Rock Band Covers TCYR's "Workout"

Released in August 2022, “Lookin’ Westward” is a new full length album by The Wimpy's, a punk-surf-rock band from Osaka, Japan! Track #4 is a cover of “Workout” by Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers!

Listen to the track (and buy it!) on Bandcamp. 

Bandcamp says: “On their newest full-length, they deliver 16 perfect poppy punk tunes, just like we're used to hearing them, but better! Surfy dreamin', 50s jukebox sounds and punkrock kissin' rock n roll! Dance with The Wimpys, never leave the prom!”

I’m going to try and get the limited vinyl LP version!

TJ Tindall [1951-2016]

Capturing Tommy Conwell and TJ Tindall's guitar duel on video during the TCYR classic "Workout" -- in January 2012 at the New Hope Winter Festival -- is one of the greatest pieces of concert footage I'll ever hope to record. 

The whole experience made me feel like I was channeling Martin Scorsese filming The Band. 



That's how I feel about the greatness of David Uosikkinen's In the Pocket -- such an accomplished and first-rate group of musicians.

We'll miss you, TJ.

The game starts at 7:35 p.m., and tickets cost $3 to $7.50.
