Wayne Kramer collaborated with The Good The Bad on Friday 16 March at SXSW, here's how it went down...

On their last USA tour in 2010, The Good The Bad embellished their affiliation with the Jail Guitar Doors charity (having previously appeared on the soundtrack of the charity’s ‘Breaking Rocks’ documentary), as the band played alongside Billy Bragg, Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters) and Wayne Kramer (MC5) at the Strummerville/Jail Guitar Doors showcase.

Upon seeing them for first time, Wayne Kramer described The Good The Bad as “an incredible new band” and both are now delighted to announce they’ll be joining forces and locking axes together at Roky Erickson’s Ice Cream Social 10th Anniversary show at Threadgills, Friday 16th March.

Later that evening, Wayne Kramer will lead the charge at the Jail Guitar Doors official showcase at the Swan Dive with Tom Morello and other special guests. Jail Guitar Doors is a non-profit program that provides musical instruments and opportunities to help rehabilitate prisoners.

As well as Roky Erickson’s showcase and their official showcase at Headhunters on Wednesday 14th March, The Good The Bad will play several other shows, kicking off proceedings at Guero’s Taco bar (location of the opening scene of Tarantino’s Death Proof), continuing with Austin Psych Fest’s gigathon at the Spiderhouse and culminating in the secretive House of Songs project at a mysterious mansion in an undisclosed location within the city limits.

Launching in December 2011

Released today, an audio-visual collaboration with Departement.ca. We were invited to score the soundtrack to this short experimental film directed by Thibaut Duverneix and produced by Sach Baylin-Stern.

"I wanted this to be an atmospheric, dreamy, melancholic journey through the moments of women's slices of life. I thought about The Good The Bad and contacted The Adam who got excited about the project. They produced an amazing soundtrack, giving great depth and atmosphere to the images" says director Thibaut Duverneix.

We have made the music available as a FREE download.

This soundtrack is a bespoke adaptation of '032' from our second album 'From 018 To 033' available in full from 31st October on iTunes, available to pre-order NOW.

At the invitation of the nice people at SexRoom Sessions, we played our very first acoustic session in Clermont-Ferrand (France) while we were on tour at Europavox Festival. In what was a very cosy environment, we managed to fit ourselves, 3 guitars, some interesting magazines and a French crowd of music lovers. Thanks to SexRoom and Mary Regnier-Machado for arranging everything. There'll be some more acoustic music in future, we promise. Enjoy...

The Good The Bad have been confirmed to play the inaugural Cherry Cola Crawl Festival hosted by 'Cherry Cola', the revered London club night on 24th September 2011. Appearing alongside dignitaries from London's legendary music community including Steve Cradock (Paul Weller, Ocean Colour Scene), The Animals and Steve Diggle (The Buzzcocks), it will be TGTB's first UK appearance this year after recording their second album and touring Europe over the summer months.
