It is great to have creative friends, it is great to have friends in bands. It is even better to have friends in bands that make music you want to hear. I’m lucky enough to have met Rubin at a job a few years ago and was excited to receive an email with the following:
12 FOR 13. At the beginning of each month throughout the year 2013 I will be releasing one of these projects online for free. It might be a full album or it might be a single song. It might be an actual movie or it might be a soundtrack to a movie that doesn't even exist. It will cover most every band that I have played in from 2000 through today as well as other projects I have worked on over the years. Many of you on this email were/are/will be a part of these projects.
This embodies the ethic of Common Folk “It’s about igniting a thought or sparking a smile, just trying to disrupt the monotony of the all too common daily grind. Common folk doing uncommon things.”
The first project he is releasing is The Perps
To quote Rubin:
The Perps are a duo made up of Bill Resh and myself. Bill and I played in a band together for 7 years in the 90′s called The Circle Six (he was the rapper, I was the guitar player). After that band broke up we started recording together in my studio between the years of 2000 – 2011 and produced close to 40 tracks. We have chosen what we feel are the strongest of those songs and presented them to you here. The best part: it’s 100% free. All you have to do is click, download, listen, and (hopefully) enjoy.
