Its just a few short weeks before famous and upcoming tattoo artists alike will descend on Reno, NV and the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino for the 8th Annual Lady Luck Tattoo Convention (March 12-14), and once again, Gearhead Records will be hosting the only official After Party of the entire weekend! Grab your tickets now cause last year, the party sold out. The Tonic Lounge is the place to be on Saturday, March 13 when the revelry will ignite! The party is 21+, doors open at 9 pm.

Sponsored by Sailor Jerry Rum, Sacramento Tattoo, and Kingpin Tattoo Supply, the price of a ticket will get you a free Sailor Jerry Rum drink (plus all night rum-drink specials) and access to a punk 'n' roll extravaganza featuring The Cowbelleros, Vomit, The Merry Widows, The Tattooed Love Dogs and Hellbound Glory. You can get your ticket in advance for $10 online, or at the Lady Luck Tattoo Convention from the Sacramento Tattoo booth, or take your chances and buy a ticket at the door for $15. Wear your dancin' shoes cause this will be a night to let your hair down and rub shoulders with the best and the brightest of the tattoo community and rock n' rollers alike! All attendees will get a free promotional poster drawn by "Cuz'n" Bill and Big Mac from Sacramento Tattoo!

Outlaw country enthusiasts and rebels worldwide bend an ear this way! The brand new full-length release from Reno's country-fried scumbags Hellbound Glory is shipping now! Old Highs and New Lows is the second "official" record from this band of outlaws, but includes songs from their first self-titled release, which only briefly saw the light of day. Mixing in brand new material with updated versions of these earliest tracks, the band truly does blend the old and new.

Adding banjo, pedal steel, organ and fiddle, this record is an homage to the best of 1970s outlaw country ala Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson and mixes it with a modern day approach to country - songs about poppin' pills and heroin overdoses, along with the traditional tales of too much whiskey and broken hearts. The cover is a beautiful tattoo inspired take on an old time dime-store novel painted by none other than tattoo artist "Cuz'n" Bill Lorenz from Sacramento Tattoo. Order your copy of this fabulous new CD today, and we'll throw in a free promotional poster!! Check the band's myspace page for upcoming tour dates.
