We first check out two recent tracks for the Patsy’s Rats, the band of Patsy Gelb, daughter of Howe. We introduce the new band for from Chicago, The Safes. Their latest album Tasty​ Waves has excellent reviews. We also have two new bands that are still waiting for the proper release: Quarx from Baton Rouge recorded a song live at KLSU and my sister’s band Rent Party contributed one song to the Tom Petty tribute Howling At The Full Moon, now digitally available at The Mooster Records.
