15th anniversary reissued deluxe version of "Relics of The Flowbee Empire," the 1998 debut album from seminal Southern Oregon band The VAM Commanders.  On its way to digital records stores everywhere and available now in the Tingle Finger Store with two additional secret bonus tracks only found here! 

In the words of the band themselves, "We recorded this album when we were total idiots. The songs are stupid, the recordings are garbage.  But we were the best kinds of idiots: those that had yet to learn what we couldn't or shouldn't do, and so pursued every bizarre idea that came into our heads."

To honor the release, The VAM Commanders will be playing a few shows in Southern Oregon, see below:

• Friday, Aug. 30 at Johnny B’s in Medford, Oregon 
• Saturday, Aug. 31 at Club 66 in Ashland, Oregon

In the final midst of mastering their new album, VAM decided to do some shows while in Boise to remind you all that ska-punk is not dead; It's just sleeping in later cause its back hurts in the mornings.

Come see what that looks like with Southern Oregon turds The VAM Commanders and Boise's own Nude Oil and the PirkQlaters.  Good times alleged but not guaranteed.
