More inspired by the lunacy of the Marx Brothers than, let's say, the music of Bob Dylan, Twenty Four Thousand Dollars is an acoustic outfit like no other. Based out of Austin, Texas (though conquering outside states, one city at a time), this organic attack of beat up guitar strings, tin pans, and unpaid parking tickets transcends the limitations of the genres it likes to dabble in, creating a new sound for the twenty-first century, one not made of digital landscapes, as those stuck in the technological rut may have expected, but one with the roughest and most rugged of textures. Whether performing live or recording on tape (the only way!), Twenty Four Thousand Dollars bring a vitality long forgotten in the American musical vernacular. It is time the world takes notice! Look out! You're being handed a bill and the cost of living on this side of town is coming to exactly TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!

Great lyrics and nice arrangement."-nice guy on myspace

I plan to pursue this issue all the way to Denver this August at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. I hope you will join in the fun. Yes, I said fun. Look, Chris Crocker can have a video go viral because he cries over Britney Spears. Certainly this issue is more urgent. Videos, however, don't go viral by themselves. I need your help! Send the link above to 100 people and ask them to send it to a hundred people.
Thanks for posting the "Rocket Redchair Part 2" video in my comments. I've got the song on my iPod and play it for many people I know and encounter. That song pumps my nads. I hope you write many more.
