Substack #13: Don’t Ever Hide Your Face.

This one is about a song that is faster than most of our other songs. It is also probably inspirational. Ok.

Happy Easter. Enjoy all of those eggs.

Thanks for reading.

I'm going to tag @marcmaron.bsky.social because he probably knows who Roy Nichols, Roy Buchanan, and Don Rich are. I don't know what else to do here. Goodbye.

Hello. Here is the eleventh one of whatever these are. This one digs into John Wayne and Ronald Reagan’s good ol’, down-home form of stick-to-your-ribs, gee-shucks, wh*te nationalism. Giddy up..

“Sunny Day” at Bottom of the Hill last December. Half of the city’s electricity was out and BART was temporarily closed that evening. I really hope that has changed.

A Guy By Any Other Name (Elephant Graveyard Radio Hour Ep. 13) YouTube video by The Elephant Graveyard

A new season of The Elephant Graveyard Radio Hour came out on YouTube today. They threw our tune “Back in the Line” in it at around an hour and thirty in. Mi gente.

Watch “Comedy Jonestown” and “The Children of Ecstasy, (Radio Hour Ep 10)” if you haven’t seen them. Alright.

Ryan Christopher Parks - Songs that other people wrote and I heard at some point, then played and recorded at some other point. Vol. 1, by B. Hamilton 11 track album

Hello. Here is “Songs that other people wrote and I heard at some point, then played and recorded at some other point. Vol. 1.” Another offering with another horrible title before your year ends. Available on Bandcamp and all streaming things.

@bhamiltonwastaken.bsky.social at Bottom of the Hill last Sunday, playing “Sunny Day”, from our recent self titled LP. Video by @bpaluzzi.bsky.social.

It just turned into Bandcamp Friday. Bandcamp doesn’t wet their beak on these days. In light of this we present to you an offering. A truce. A live blues.

B. Hamilton “Fifty Feet From Where We Normally Are (Live at Sharkbite)” is out now.

Thanks for having us @roughtradepub.bsky.social

“Fifty Feet From Where We Normally Are (Live at Sharkbite)” comes out this Friday for viewing on YouTube and listening on all the streaming things. 

BlueSky is a goddamn graveyard. Let's get some fourteen year old Russian kids with spicy language and internet access in here.

Spotify asked us to record a 30 second “year in review” clip for our fans, or whoever is listening to us without necessarily enjoying it. Like inadvertently being around a dull breeze, or any form of bird.

We made this and they didn’t accept it. I'm going to call the police.

Bay Beats, through the San Francisco Public Library, has graciously decided to accept three of our releases over their past three entry periods. Their new selections are up as of today. This is what music sounds like in a place with weed supermarkets.

@marcmaron.bsky.social is this solo a Billy Gibbons rip off? We’re divided.

B. Hamilton is opening a Hardly Strictly Bluegrass afterparty for The Mekons this Saturday at The Make Out Room in San Francisco. It is also a benefit for Sweat Relief upon looking at the flyer. Nice. They are very influential and know what John Peel’s vocal mics smelled like.
