Noah Engh doesn’t care about you. Well, not you or anyone specifically, but merely the naysayers, critics and those inclined to interject their two-cents into his decidedly unconventional lifestyle *** career. If he did, he surely would not have achieved or continue to pursue as much as he has or does. Or with as much devil-may-care style and energy from someone at the ripe old age of twenty-three.

This August (2010), Engh released his fifth album, Take ‘Yer Pants Off and Dance, a whirlwind of manic country/blues indulgence recorded in Los Angeles by producer and all-analog maven Jason Mezilis. With such rich production value, a who’s who of talented and renowned musicians backing him up on the recording, and songwriting that would make even the most venerable of veterans weep, it would be easy to assume that Engh, a.k.a. “The Kid Fantastic” is just another rich boy with the right connections.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The songs are all Engh originals—save for one Howlin’ Wolf classic—and hard won through several years of self-sustained, nonstop touring. Yeah, yeah, yeah, “nonstop touring”, a cliché term that anyone looking for a little bit of credibility will throw out with the most meager of references. For “The Kid Fantastic”, with several years of 200+ annual performances, booked and performed almost entirely himself, and with no address to call his own, the term couldn’t be more of an understatement.

At this point it would usually be pointed out, “but, he makes it look easy.” Engh doesn’t make it look easy. He makes it look hard. Because it is hard. While his performances are always astonishing combinations of unbridled showmanship, musicianship, and the perplexing ability to not just work, but own a crowd, if you spend more than a few minutes with him, you realize his visage is no act. His is the archetype of the hard working, hard partying, hard living showman of yore. He wears a very limited array of bombastic polyester suits, day and night. And by “night”, I mean, he sleeps in his suit. Usually on the floor or couch of friends scattered across North America, some of which he may have met only hours earlier. He often shaves with a pocket-knife and uses more hair pomade than laundry detergent—a curiosity that has become a celebration in and of itself by friends and fans on his Facebook profile.

Awesome, Ron!

Loved Buy You a House, so I'll check this out as well!

Buy You a House?

*checks YT*

Oh THAT song.

Yeah, I remember buying that song mainly because it was filed under blues and I was in desperate need of some. I think I've nabbed all of the like... 7 songs (properly) filed under blues. I'll definitely buy more of this guy!

Another song heading into testing !

Internal Corrosion "Legacy Of Blood" as Featured In Jackass 3D


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz1AzgOYjfM

Internal Corrosion is a Los Angeles based metal band that has been capturing the interest of fans and musicians
alike since their beginning in 2006. Their use of dual guitar solos, powerful metal drumming and clear yet edgy vocals,
has people comparing the band to such legendary metal acts as Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer. Although Internal
Corrosion does posses the classic qualities of the early metal genre, they are not a direct imitation but something that
is familiar and new all on its own.

[SeymourDuncan17]

Sounds pretty awesome! I actually just recently watched Jackass 3D for the first time.

Now go and get "Party In My Pants"!
