found a lot of cool stuff they will be sharing with you! You can visit their brick-and-mortar shop here in the HillCountry, or buy online from

THE TX LADYBUGS

General Store. Look for product from some of their favorite Texaspickers here, too!IN 2013, LOOK FOR three singles to drop from

‘SHAKE WHAT YER MAMA GAVE YA!’

— including two NEWremakes of TWO originals — and each backed by an independent promotion and radio campaign team that will put

THE TX LADYBUGS

in juke joints from the Texas coast to the OK border; from the deserts of west Texas right upinto the swampland of Caddo Lake. Big cities won’t miss out: Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Houston –put your good boots on and get ready to stomp! THE FIRST single drop:

(«I’ve Been Here) ALL DAMN DAY

:” — look for it to roll, proper, on APRIL 15 — TAX DAY. This song is the frustrated but funny outcry of American workers everywhere … especially those withboyfriends, girlfriends, dirty dishes, and phone bills! The drop date also signifies that APRIL 17 is considered TAX FREEDOM DAY — the average worker toils ‘til April17 just to cover that year’s tax obligations.

«ALL DAMN DAY»

is a ralleying cry: either get rid of your cheating lazy partners, get rid of your phone, or findanother damn job! And then again, for some folks, it might mean all three! Just remember it takes resilience to make it today — and

THE TX LADYBUGS

HAVE RESILIENCE! Nature says so.Since

Katherine Dawn’s

2010 inception of

THE TX LADYBUGS

, the band has seen: a fiddle player come and go;a mandolin player come and go; two members fight and BEAT cancer; several car wrecks and injuries by bandmembers; club accounts open and close; a member-owned art studio open; individual and band business plansestablished; and now — a band member of three years — quits two weeks before the 2013 performance seasonbegins. Onward!
