End of the Road for The Trucks
The Trucks are Still #1 in our Hearts ::: photo by Abbey
The latest great local band to announce their early demise? Local lovelies, The Trucks. We got the sad news via an email from their booking agent extraordinaire, Carly of Starbird Promotions, first thing this morning. We’re crying a bit in our morning coffee while listening to “Come Back” and “Shattered” on repeat… I know, I know, we’re a bit melodramatic about this all.
But fear not… we all have a few more chances to see these wonderful, ballsy, bratty, talented ladies in action:

hey - trucks fans - we are hoping to release an EP containing some of the new trucks songs by the date of the last shows (but not by the Chop Suey show). The proposal is for a double a-side CD featuring Shattered & Louisiana, Plus “Mute”, maybe “pervs in the bushes” and a few choice remixes that haven’t appeared on CD yet….
