CD Baby Editor's Pick
Who's a CD Baby Editor's pick?
Indeed, ladies and gentlemen, if you're into that classic Bakersfield sound, we'd be remiss in not telling you to give the Bottom Dwellers a try. Go ahead, it's okay. If we didn't think so, we wouldn't be doing it.
[UPDATE] Well, we were finally replaced. But our buddies Stars And Garters are in there now! Shit howdy. Great new record, boys.
Bottom Dwellers take home Sammie for Outstanding Country/Bluegrass band
You really do like us, and now we have proof! Engraved proof—the most definitive kind.
Wednesday night we were awarded a Sammies Reader's Choice Award for Outstanding Country/Bluegrass Band at the Sacramento Area Music Awards.
Ladies and gentlemen, kind readers of the Sacramento News & Review, and honky tonk aficionados, thank you so very much for your support. We all agree (and you probably would too) that it feels really good to be recognized for being good at something you love.
The Bottom Dwellers would also like to give special thanks to Kristyn, Molly, Shannon, and Maria for their patience and sacrifices, and our die hard buddies who aren't shy about spreading the love or lugging amps around.
Sammie Showcase Like You Were There!
For those of you who weren't able to attend the Sammies Country/Bluegrass showcase the other week, It's pichers! It's almost like you were there, only quieter.
The Bottom Dwellers are official 2007 Sammie nominees
You really do like us! The Bottom Dwellers have been nominated for the 2007 Sammies, and we're all atwitter with delight. Chris, Ivan, Adam and I offer our generous and humble thanks to the dear readers of the Sacramento News & Review and to our esteemed Bottom Dwellers diehards who put your two cents where your mouth is.
We feel extra warm and fuzzy from the heat of the honky tonk hotness of our fellow Country/Bluegrass nominees:
From this list, it's plain to see the Sacramento area has a fully ass-kickin', honky tonk/country/bluegrass scene. Certainly with this lineup, your reader's choice vote for the Bottom Dwellers will be a difficult one to cast.
Thank you for showing us your support this way, and for your continued support of independent honky tonk. We look forward to getting our new record into your hot little hands, and booking the ever-loving crap out of California this season.
Cheers!
New Record In Progress
Just because the propane hasn't been flowing through the veins of the Bottom Dwellers tour van, doesn't mean we haven't been working our keisters off. In fact, we have. On a new record, specifically.
Last weekend we laid down 16, or so, new tracks. During the recording, someone's iSight camera kicked on and snagged some video of the proceedings.
For those of you turned on by clickety-clackaty bass, we salute you!
Gold Medal Beer
One of the lesser known facts about the Bottom Dwellers, is that our drummer brews beer. And not just any beer, mind you. He brews exceptionally great beer. Beer that you would most readily choose in place of anything on the shelf at your local boutique grocery. And now there's proof!

Chris Eynon In Palace Of Stains

Holy crap, this is gonna be good...
Just The Kind Video
When he's not playing guitar, banjo and writing songs for the Bottom Dwellers, Ivan is playing guitar, banjo and writing songs for the hell of it. He recently teamed up with some friends who had a vision for one of these songs. The result is a visually stunning story of love, loss and life afterward.
Adam Does Daisy Does America
The Bottom Dwellers' very own Adam Hancock made his television debut on the new T.B.S. Coquette (Courtney Cox and David Arquette's production company) show, "Daisy Does America" last night. More accurately, his guitar and lap steel licks can be heard in the debut episode, "Bounty Hunter."
