GUIGNOL ON THE NET:

It was a chilly week in March. "Fight Dirty" had finally come out. Guignol hit the road to play a punk house, a college, and a dive bar outside of Boston. We saw Chuck Schumer in a strip-mall bookstore. And we stopped off at U-Mass Lowell's venerable radio station WUML to play a live set on-air. And guess what? We played pretty good!

So for you, we offer "Guignol: Live on WUML" for exclusively digital download at guignol.bandcamp.com (where the rest of our catalog is also streaming). 8 tracks, 30 minutes, all with a nice spit-and-polish from Danny Shatzky at good ol' Vibromonk Studios.

------------------------

"Fight Dirty" is now available on CD at Interpunk.

"Guignol & Mischief Brew Fight Dirty" is finally available...on cassette (!) and digital download (the cassette comes with a download coupon, so you don't have to get both), here: The Cottage Records

I've never had a record out on cassette before. Feels kinda funny.

Press for "Fight Dirty" from the Village Voice, Philadelphia City Paper, and the Philadelphia Examiner.

Guignol has two songs in the soundtrack for "Con Artist,", a "docu-comedy" about 80s art star Mark Kostabi. Showing all fall at film festivals in Bologna, SLC, Denver, Glasgow, and more...

September 2009:It has been, I admit, a very long time. But Guignol has returned, with a very special new full-length:

*** Guignol & Mischief Brew Fight Dirty ***

Guignol & Mischief Brew first collaborated on "A Liquor Never Brewed", a track from Mischief Brew's 2005 release Smash The Windows. Erik's Fistolo label released Guignol's sophomore EP Drink The Best Wine First the same year. Now, three years later, a long-planned full-length collaboration is coming to fruition: Guignol & Mischief Brew Fight Dirty is seven Mischief Brew songs with Guignol as backing band; six Guignol songs with Erik on guitar; a Django Reinhardt cover, and a barn-burning take on Iron Maiden's "Hallowed Be They Name" (with Slavic Soul Party's Ben Holmes on trumpet). THIS IS NOT A SPLIT! It's Guignol & Mischief Brew playing together as a five-piece band. It's apotheosis anthems for the carnies, the travellers, the gypsies, jazzmen, and lowlifes; singing Turkish-flavored reveries, odes to tax evasion, dirty tricks, and mob revolution; cumbia carols, sludge-metal reels, and a funeral march at a flooded bar.
