"It's been fifteen years since Big Stick's last proper record release. That's an even longer period of time than some winged cicada bugs take to rise from the deep depths of earth and sing their noisy repertoire of songs. Their dynamic duo of John Gill and Yanna Trance are pleased to finally have a new album's worth of material to share. This new release is simply titled LP. It's a long-playing collection of Big Stick selections cultivated over several years. This release is a joint effort between Big Stick's new Drag Racing Underground record label and Forte Music Distribution. Gill and Trance performed most of the vocals and instrumentation on the album's fifteen tracks. Some of their musician friends appear on select songs. Much of the recording was done at their own studio, using a vintage Otari MX-70 16-track analog tape machine. Big Stick are self-produced. Gill plays guitar and keyboard. Trance performs percussion, bass, and keyboards. Both of the duo write and compose. This new album includes a retrospective collage of photographs and images, along with photos of Gill's and Trance's artwork as well as liner notes describing curious facts and trivia related to the duo and the featured songs. Both formats include a special bonus Some Of The Best Of Big Stick EP CD with ten 'classic' Big Stick tracks."

'Big Stick are chuffed to announce that their new Drag Racing Underground record label, in conjunction with Forte Music Distribution, are releasing a special Much Of The Best Of Big Stick album. A long playing collection of 'classic' Big Stick selections, along with three tracks taken from the band's soon to be released new album, LP. Limited to 500 copies on clear vinyl. There's a total of fifteen songs on this collection. The 'classics' include 'Drag Racing' (of John Peel's Box fame) 'I Look Like Shit,' 'Jesus Was Born On An Indian Reservation,' 'Billy Jack Paddy Wack,' 'Devil's Jukebox,' 'Hoochie Koo Time,' 'Bianca Blast,' 'California Dreamin',' 'Hokey Pokey Girl,' 'Scum Rooky's Cafe,' 'I Live The Good Life,' and 'Black Cow.' The three brand new tracks picked from their upcoming album which the duo believes worthy of including are 'Rascal,' 'Metaphysical Speaker' and 'Calamari Co Co Butter.' The mindful packaging of this collection includes a retrospective collage of Big Stick photographs and images, both past and present, along with photos of Gill's and Trance's art and sculpture work and detailed liner notes describing curious facts and trivia related to the duo and the fifteen different featured songs. Aiming to serve in acquainting those not familiar with Gill's and Trance's somewhat off-the-beaten-path brand of musical undertakings, while also providing long overdue satisfaction for those who do know of Big Stick and have been waiting ever-so-patiently for something like this to finally spin on their turntables!"
