Shiny Red Nothing
Embark on a sonic sojourn.
Ride the waves of joyous, freaky indie rock. Make a left turn into a couple of offbeat townships in the deep American south of an alternate dimension, and then find yourself stoned and a little drunk, peeking your head into the side offices of Hell’s halls, just for the giddy thrill of it. By the end, you’ll be possessed with an intimate knowledge of why Shiny Red Noth... read more

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEWPORT, KY - NOVEMBER 2016 - Recorded in the fall of 2006 and subsequently shelved, The Minni-Thins dark and biting sophomore album, “That Old Kentucky Blackgrass,” has been remastered for a 2016 release on Thanksgiving Day; Thursday, November 24th. The album plays like a genre-bending and introspective horror film soundtrack, taking listeners on a journey to a personal apocalypse on an infectious wave of heavy blues, punk, country, psychedelia, and stoner metal, while loosely telling the story of a sentient infection which spreads a dance craze as end times approach. With such a genre defying collection of songs on one album, The Minnis created their own genre, Blackgrass, to classify their sound. The release will be available exclusively through Bandcamp and is currently available for pre-order.
A series of interconnecting music videos were also produced to celebrate the album’s release, marrying the Blackgrass tunes to footage from Nosferatu, the 1922 silent horror masterpiece by FW Muranau. The individual music videos are available on Youtube, as is a truncated version of the film, produced from the complete set of videos, featuring additional Nosferatu footage and original score.
About The Minni-Thins:
Propelled by frenetic old school punk rock energy and Jeremy Strickland’s ferocious screaming, The Minni-Thins emerged from the fertile soil of Cincinnati’s music scene in 2001, releasing their award winning first album “In Black Cause I Asked” to international praise in 2005. The band played one US tour as well as SXSW that same year in support of the album. Marriages, new jobs, and other lame grown-up stuff dismantled the band soon after the second album was recorded.
