“In Chocolate-Covered Misery” free for Valentine's Day

Maybe you love Valentine’s Day, maybe you don’t. Maybe you’ll love this song, maybe this song will love you.

FEB - In Chocolate-Covered Misery by Cancer Killing Gemini
To the CKG hard rock fans, don’t worry, the bone crushing will return in March.

“In Chocolate-Covered Misery” is the first recording featuring all members of Cancer Killing Gemini. Eric on vocals, Frank on drums, Andrew on bass, Max on Rhodes and Chuck on guitar.  For those not yet in the know – Eric started CKG as a studio project and it has since morphed into a live band.

Is this one down tempo, chill, alt-country, jazz, classic rock…? Can’t quite figure it out ourselves. Regardless, it’s free for the next 60 days.

One new free song a month…forever. That’s still the plan. Join the mailing list to get monthly reminders with download links. You can still download a few others and buy tickets for our next show (April 15th at the Cantab in Cambridge, MA) at http://www.cancerkillinggemini.com

Next month's tune is still undecided... "You Let The Honey Out Of Me" or "The Needle Down". Both are pretty rockin'.

Cheers,
Eric
Cancer Kiling Gemini
