Well, that pretty much sums it up. Florida-based music blogger Brian Childs recently included “Bloodshot Eyes” on his monthly podcast. But as if that weren’t enough to get us all excited and stuff, he went and gave Collection Of Bad Habits a pretty nice review. We’ve never met Brian, but we like him already.
Check out the review at http://ninebullets.net/archives/possum-jenkins-collection-of-bad-habits.
Hey folks,

The good folks at www.Rowdy.com, a NASCAR fan site, used our songs in a pair of their recent podcasts. Thanks y’all!

Possum Update: October 21
Hey folks,
I know…I know…we’ve been totally M.I.A. from our website in recent months. We’d like to formally apologize for our lack of updating this fine site that our good friend Jamie Carroll was so kind to construct. Sorry y’all. HOWEVER…we promise to get back on the horse and keep you abreast of everything that’s happening in Possum land.
Big thanks to those of you who’ve been coming out to our most recent round of shows. We had a blast in Boone and Winston last weekend, as well as at our most recent Sadlack’s show in Raleigh. We can’t thank y’all enough for showing up and enjoying some tunes and cold snacks with us.
We’ve got several more shows on the horizon, including this Saturday’s headlining set at The Evening Muse, our Halloween bash at the Old Winston Social Club, our first-ever Durham show with our friends Benyaro, another trip to the South Carolina and The Windjammer and our annual Thanksgiving throw-down at The Garage in Winston-Salem.
And just so you don’t think we’ve become totally complacent following the release of our record-breaking, chart-topping international smash hit album “Collection Of Bad Habits,” we’ve decided to head back to the friendly confines of EMR Recorders in early December to spend some quality time with our good friend Doug Williams!! We promise a new release in 2011.
And we’ve got new shirts: light blue girly tees and ASU/Wake Forest black and gold men’s tees. Give us a holler at thepossumjenkinsband@yahoo.com if you need to get your hands on one and won’t be at an upcoming show.
Well, I reckon that’s about all that’s shaking here at Possum Central. Hopefully we’ll see you soon. Enjoy the fall!
