The Rover’s Three “Pot of Gold” Available With Sales Going to Stormie

The Rover’s Three final album Pot of Gold was a best of collection with some new songs made for the bands 10th anniversary. It was not widely released and has been hard to find since it’s release. Josh Lory has uploaded the album to BandCamp, with sales now going directly to Knott’s daughter Stormie to help with funeral costs.

Michael Knott and Gene Eugene Live at Houghton College 4​-​24​-​1999

From 1999 until about 2003, Michael Knott toured extensively as a solo act across the nation. This bootleg captures one of a few unique nights when he played with Gene Eugene. Knott starts off the set as a solo act, but Eugene joins him half way through on keys and adds a special twist to the songs. Joshua Lory found a good quality bootleg of that show and had Bruce Neher master it for release. You can check it out on BandCamp. This bootleg contains the never before released song “Only You” (previously referred to as “Take Me Down”) and several improv songs as well as fun banter between Knott and Eugene.

Fourth Wave Reality Rock Vinyl is Available

The Fourth Wave Reality Rock vinyl re-issue has been released. For those that don’t know, it is a vinyl re-release of the 1993 Third Wave Reality Rock CD with an expanded list of bands. L.S.U. was added in that expansion, with their song “Shaded Pain” closing out the collection. I have also found at least one old school pic of Knott in the liner notes. Oh, and Blonde Vinyl artist Black and White World also make an appearance with their track “Too Young to be Sad.” Not to mention all kinds of bands that Knott has worked and played with. There are still a few copies available – you can contact the people behind the project through the Reality Rock Facebook Page to see if they can sell you a copy.

Physical Copies of “All Indie EP II” are Available, Along with a Golden Ticket Contest

“So, with the release of this longtime coming ep, we wanted to do something special to help celebrate the launch and make it a little more fun. Since the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is one of our favorite movies, we thought, why not incorporate the “Golden Ticket” into the release of the All Indie Ep II?! With that said, the first 250 physical CDs are signed and numbered. We have randomly selected 3 of these signed and numbered CDs and placed an Indie Golden Indie Ticket inside.

The Indie Golden Ticket

So, what do you get? Each winner who gets an Indie Golden Ticket will get a song sung to them live over the phone by Michael from his catalog over the years. You’ll also get a video of him singing the song sent to you after the fact.

The Winners

So, what do you need to do if you got the Indie Golden Ticket? Take a picture of the ticket and the numbered CD and send it to get email below. Also, select 3 songs that Michael has written/released from vast repertoire and submit those 3 songs when you send the email with the pictures. Michael will select from the 3 provided which one he wants to perform live over the phone to you. Good Luck and we sincerely hope you enjoy the music!

Claravox Cover’s L.S.U.’s “Jordan River”

Stef Loy (of Perry and the Poorboys and The Miscellaneous fame) recently posted a video that his new band called Claravox made of a Michael Knott cover, Here is what the band had to say:

“Thank you for listening to our cover of LSU’s Jordan River! This video single was created and recorded in March, 2021. The song was written by Michael Knott. It is the first song on the Lifesavers Underground album “Shaded Pain” (1987, Frontline Records.) We would like to take this time to thank Michael for decades of his prolific musical career. Truly an artistic genius and an inspiration to us all — Michael Knott, you are loved.”
