Whitey Sterling, singer from Umbrella Brigade and Stiffs,Inc., is appearing on a show called “Oddities”.  The show looks interesting and he is appearing on the 3rd show of the season.  The show premieres on Thursday, Nov. 4 on the Discovery Channel.  Here’s a link to the show info and a youtube preview which also briefly shows Whitey at about 13 secs:  http://morbidanatomy.blogspot.com/2010/10/oddities-obscura-antiques-and-oddities_27.html -

Last weekend was the another recording session for the Umbrella Brigade, with Whitey Sterling completing all but one song of vocals.  This record is a bit of a departure from the last one, as the band here has added live drums and guitar, and changed up membership.  This new CD is being recorded by Hillary Johnson (HiFi Hil), who notably worked on the very first Stiffs Inc. single, produced by Rick Bacchus, as well as doing recording for the Ramones.

The CD will be released along with a book with illustrations by Peter Benedetti!
