The always amazing 8-bit rockers Desert Planet are set to release their brand-new album "Mario built my hot rod" on May 2 via 9pm Records. The duo will heading out on the road in support of the release and more info can be found here: http://personal.inet.fi/taide/junttila/desert/engani/mario.htm
Desert Planet are one of the many fine acts included on the "It's a trap reader's companion" compilation, so of course anything they do is highly recommended. I also hear that the album includes a guest appearance from members of the Finnish humppa group Eläkeläiset, so you know it's gotta be something special.
