New CDs from David Huntsberger and Mikey Manker head for Pandora, Radio & Digital Release!
DAVID HUNTSBERGER’S ONE-HEADED BEAST & MIKEY MANKER’S VOYAGEUR FROM STAND UP! RECORDS BOLDLY GO INTERNETS LIKE NEVER BEFORE!
‘We Don’t Need No Stinking Traditional Distribution’ Says Pandora & Radio Only (Huntsberger) and Digital-Only (Manker) Comedians
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOS ANGELES, CA (TUESDAY OCTOBER 27, 2015) – Stand Up! Records (www.standuprecords.com) announced today a bold (i.e.: offbeat) new experiment with two new non-traditional releases out now – somewhere in the ether. David Huntsberger’s (http://www.davidhuntsberger.com) Pandora and radio only release One-Headed Beast and Mikey Manker’s (@mikeymanker) digital-only record Voyageur are out now!
David Huntsberger’s exclusive radio and Pandora Internet Radio release “One-Headed Beast” explores not what divides us (or even schizophrenia from street poetry), but what makes us share a common humanity. It’s just hard being a person, and we might have to be generous with ourselves. We’re not good at grief or embarrassment or falling down. We’re not good at self-regulation or being honest about the wellsprings of our anger. We’re not good at deciding what’s “tough,” what’s “weak,” and what’s “total bullshit.” We’re all utterly confused criminals to some extent or other. We’re not good at talking about the big, existential things, let alone the personal insecurities and anxieties that we all carry. We’re supposed to accept the mysteries of the universe, but we’re not even good at defeating other species. Our brains all literally get their jobs through nepotism. If that’s not funny, conceptually and when it comes to the giggle-lulz, well, nothing is.
Mikey Manker’s hatred for children approaches Jim Crow-level racism. He should know: his own father’s life was ruined by fatherhood. An ex-Marine whose legs were broken by a bear in a semi-professional wrestling match, Ray Manker transitioned into a career as a bar musician until he met a Kroger’s checkout girl at the bowling alley. It turned out her goal was to ruin a man’s life. (Incidentally, she was later the proud recipient of what may be the world’s only greeting card emblazoned “Happy Miscarriage!”). Soon, their offspring would complete a true feat of terrible, learning, on the very same day, that Mikey had failed the 8th grade and his teenaged sister had gotten pregnant. So yes, he will be using that newly minted Obamacare to secure a vasectomy, thankyouverymuch. Often referred to as a “conversational” comic, on “Voyageur,” Manker feels more like a long-time pro whose talent hides the hard work, sweat, and drug-induced crying jags that really create a virtuoso set in favor of a comfortable swagger. Either that, or it’s the meditation and Colt .45. They work every time.
Pick one up today on your very own via Pandora app, favorite radio station and iTunes store today!
