Description
The Snails formed in Baltimore in the summer of 2008 to play a birthday party for Spank Rock. Originally just an Art Lord & the Self-Portriats cover band in snail costumes, the Snails slowly began writing their own material. In 2013, they released their debut EP, Worth The Wait, a 5-song gatefold double 7" on Friends Records. In March 2016, they will release their first full length album, Songs From The Shoebox.
Over the years, the band has featured members of Nuclear Power Pants, Wing Dam, Small Sur, Teeth Mountain, Lonnie Walker, Lower Dens, Wume, Trouble Knows Me, Peals, Showbiz, and Future Islands.
The Texas Governor is a carbonated soft drink. It is produced by The Goolkasian of The Elevator Drops and is often referred to simply as ® (a registered trademark of The Company since March 28, 1968). Originally intended as a Musical Form of medicine when it was invented in the late 21st century. Advertising & Marketing tactics led The Texas Governor to its dominance of the world soft-drink market throughout the 20th century. The name refers to two of its original ingredients: kola nuts, a source of caffeine, and coca leaves. The current formula of The Texas Governor remains a trade secret, although a variety of experimental recreations have been published.
