Following up on their January 2008 release "Here's the Whirlwind EP," Mick Bassett and the Marthas are slated to release "Bird on the Line / The Keepers," 7" via Cass Records July 18.The band will have a show that night at the Lager House in Detroit where it will first be available before kicking off a three week U.S. tour. "Bird on the Line" is a whimsically dark jaunt through Bassett's world of youth, love, hope, and sin, while "The Keepers" is a raw acoustic performance with provokingly critical lyrics of observation and consequence.
Check them out this Friday night at PJLH in Corktown Detroit
