William Matheny just found a box of 35 first pressing, silver-foil copies of "Strange Constellations." Definitely snag one if you've been kicking yourself for missing it the first time around! These will not be available long. 👀

To quote the man himself:

"These were in your finer independent record stores across America and they didn't sell, so they've been returned. What can I say? I'm making the deep cuts of tomorrow, today. Besides, I always thought it was cool that M.C. Hammer sold cassettes and records out of the trunk of his car. I feel similarly about what I do.
I've added them to the online store if you would like to snag one."

Our Story

WhizzbangBAM! is based out of Huntington, WV and was created out of the frustration of one local fellow who was tired of seeing so many talented bands from our region go unnoticed. Through years of experience on every side of music (playing in bands, running a music festival, booking for venues, booking individual artists), Ian Thornton decided to take matters into his own hands. Loaded with an eclectic roster that he’d put up against any scene in the country, he set out to create a management/booking agency that could provide his artists with the respect they deserve. Drawing from a vast pool of experience, the WhizzbangBAM! team not only books for regional artists but also assists in event planning, publicity, and social media.
