The running order for Streets of Mercy: Titty Bingo Vol. III has been set:
Anticipation’s high in Bingo Land. If stars and planets align properly, the new album will be available before the holidays commence.
Our new single, Talk the Talk, from the soon-to-be-released, Titty Bingo Vol. III: Streets of Mercy, debuted on Steven Wheatley’s Dalecast podcast today.
A hard hitting Texan throw down, Talk the Talk finds Derek and Dahr letting their guitars do the talking. Fueled by adrenaline and filled with confident swagger, Talk the Talk sounds perfect for football stadiums, wrestling arenas, and Hollywood. Any takers?

The beauty of YouTube lies in the fact there’s a constant stream of valuable old video being posted. Often, they are historic clips which only a handful have ever seen. Take for example, the following clip of the Iceman, Albert Collins from 1991.
Bingo lead guitar Derek O’Brien plays rhythm guitar in support of Collins and you’ll also see Reese Wynans.
Feedback, whether accidental or purposeful, can bring an intensity and excitement to a song. Often overused these days, feedback can end up being a lazy annoyance or a typical cliche (like an extended drum solo).
Back in earlier times, feedback was usually frowned upon by recording engineers and squashed like an annoying picnic bug. Thank goodness, a few pioneers made it to final vinyl.
Here are six pioneering feedback numbers:
Moment of Truth has been playing on the jukebox most of the day. It’s one of those songs, that once you connect, you’ll play over and over.
Dahr says the song has been hanging around awhile and missed making Volume 2. Moment of Truth seems out of character for a typical Titty Bingo tune, but this song works.
Dahr’s world weary vocals remind you to appreciate life while you can. You sense loss throughout the song and understated playing supports the mood. A strong melodic sense sinks the song into your psyche, but it’s the vocals and message you won’t forget.
Moment of Truth feels like a lonely end-of-the-night song; one where you pull somebody close and dance one more time because it might be your last dance together.
