Rubber Knife Gang finishes tracking album with Mind Ignition's Robert Fugate


Mind Ignition's Robert Fugate and the Cincinnati based string band called The Rubber Knife Gang recently finished tracking their debut album tentatively titled "A Rubber Knife Life". The album was recorded completely live in a living room back in August of 2008. It was recorded and mixed by Mind Ignition's Robert Fugate and features Henry “Hound Dog Hank” Becker on the flat top guitar, Todd “Blind Man Wily” Wilson on the mando, and John “John Boy” Oaks on the dog house bass. All three shared in the vocal duties as they layed down a great selection of acoustic oriented compositions written by the band themselves.
If you like folksy acoustic rock with a bluegrass and bluesy tinge, then you’ll love to become a member of the gang.
