Under the Influence – Mischief Brew / Franz Nicolay
Alright! I drew these like five billion years ago (read: six months) and honestly don't know if the record ever came out or not, but enough time's passed by now that it's got to be safe to share to the world, right? Right??
Anyhow, this one was super exciting for me because I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mischief Brew. These guys are off the fucking chain with fun awesomeness and you should all rush out and listen to their albums right now:

On the flip side of that record is none other than Franz Nicolay who, in addition to a respectable solo career, also plays in the Hold Steady and the World/Inferno Friendship Society, two of the better bands in existence right now. So, basically, he's cooler than all of us combined. Plus he has a totally epic mustache. Respect:

Okay then! I have another super amazing thing to share with you guys that I got to work on, but I'll save it for after the weekend.
Mitch out.
Enjoy this article?

He also no longer plays in world inferno. Matt Landis is his current replacement. Speaking of, you should do a comic about that band.

Mitch, I was talking to Erik Petersen on Saturday when he played with World/Inferno and Night Birds (sick show). You and this record came up and he was telling me that SH are still sitting on this one. Possible problems could be the reason. We should all try and get a bunch of people to email SH and try to get them to release the record. Erik was telling me about his and Franz songs and hey both sound very non punk so it should be fun to hear how they translate to each respected musician’s style. Thought I’d let you know.

Awesome artwork! id crop the bottom, or change the bottom text to “3-chord-circus” and make that a 7″ cover art! MB should put out a 7″ to promote the album further… Side a: Three-Chord_Circus… Side B: Drinking Song from the Home Stretch
