Danbert Nobacon and Dollar Store Releases

PR reports: Bloodshot Records To Release Danbert Nobacon's The Library Book of the World & Dollar Store's Money Music - In Stores August 14!

From the anarchist underground of the UK and the blue collar streets of Chicago come new albums from Danbert Nobacon and Dollar Store. While the genesis of their music began thousands of miles apart, they share empathetic views of the downtrodden and a healthy distrust for the establishment. Nobacon is backed up old friends Jon Langford and Alan Doughty in the Pine Valley Cosmonauts (both play in the Waco Brothers, Doughty is bassist in Dollar Store as well) for a rousing set in which Nobacon describes his role as "that of a "psychic medium plugged into the mainline of human history, hearing voices from present ghouls and future ghosts as well." Dollar Store recorded Money Music at Engine Studios in Chicago in late 2005, producing it themselves. The result is a rock rave up that sings the sorrows of the working man.
