Kicksville: The Results of a Higher Mission.
Release Date: July 4, 2008

Improvisation, painstaking programming, melodic sensibility and bizarre sound effects are only some of the tools used to manufacture Kicksville's aural nuggest of hearty goodness. Kicksville is back and has finally unwrapped and exposed their The Results of a Higher Mission. On this, the band's second recording for Ropeadope Digital, the forces come to life and prove that the road to the White House runs directly through Kicksville.

Black Gold 360: Suite 17
Release Date: July 8, 2008

Black Gold 360, it's a jazz band, but wait, it's a DJ spinnin magic. Suite 17
sweeps and swoons, leaving you dancing under the moon. Black Gold 360 is the late night hang, the post-party, party-in-a-box that takes you from the darkest hours to the promise of a new day. It's all there, thumping upright acoustic bass, skat-a-tat-tat drummer who is two steps ahead at all times, keyboards and horns. Excitement lurks behind every beat!!
