Remember when Eric Bachmann rocked harder than the Los Arcos Rock formation in Mexico during his time in Archers of Loaf? And remember when he put out an album called Tragic Animal Stories under the name Barry Black that boasted tracks such as, “The Horrible Truth About Plankton,” “Chimps,” and “Tropical Fish Revival”? How about when he lived in a van and cranked out four Crooked Fingers albums? Now Bachmann will release the first solo album under his own name called, To The Races August 22nd on Saddle Creek Records. Steam two tracks on MySpace.
