The Ruminants "Live From East Coulee" 2012

This is a bootleg of my band The Ruminants. It was made by Doug Misfeldt who is a LEGEND of Calgary music bootlegging. I don't know how, but he is at every gig, always. We are a "country band" but really there are influences from blues to rockabilly to surf to skiffle to folk - much like your fantastic blog. I'd like to share this album. Mostly because I believe in sharing music, but also because it was made for free, we played the show (a little charity festival called The East Coulee Museum Spring Fest) for free and we do it because we love it. Oh, and the cd cover was done by blogger Mredondo. - Todd Maduke via e-mail - web: http://theruminants.ca

Music for music's sake: The Ruminants – Mike Cremona, Todd Maduke, Sean McIntyre, and David Martin – perform a blend of dirty western ballads and provoking pop for an appreciative audience of drinkers, thinkers, and dancers. As FFWD magazine put it, “The Ruminants only use country music as a jumping point to whichever genre suits their fancy at that particular moment.” The Ruminants have performed at venues all over southern Alberta, and are considered mainstays of the Calgary alt-country scene. They recently recorded their first full-length album, in the hayloft of a barn east of Strathmore, which should hit the airwaves later this year. - from East Coulee School Museum - http://www.ecsmuseum.ca/spring_fest_2012_bios.html
