New Years 2021. Bye Bye 2020

We recorded this at Duquesne University, they had recently added a sound design major. We were Brian Cobb's class project. The songs came out well, and were the backbone of the Something Invincible release.

Magnet of Bad Luck

This is from our second release, The Welfare Dub. It includes saxophone from Charles Rosenblum, a long time, part time member of the band. This song has not been released otherwise, and is under represented in our discography.

The Welfare Dub

Flowers of April

This song was originally released on the Welfare Dub Cassette. It is the title track of the remastered EP on iTunes and Amazon under the band name Thin White Line. With the opening lines, "Love and emotion begone. History repeats itself if we wait to long..." it's as pertinent now as it was 20 years ago. Another great Robert Porter song.

Superman and That Girl

This is a digitally polished version of a song from an earlier release now available as part of the Superman and That girl EP on Amazon and iTunes. It is the hottest track from the 90's and I would put it up against classics like Ace of Spades, Sonic Reducer or Anything by the New York Dolls. I love all those songs, but I think this is just as good. So pop on some headphones, buckle up and prepare for the 100 mile an hour propulsion of Thrilling Cities.

Superman and That Girl - EP

Thrilling Cities

This is Bob Porter's signature version of this Otis Redding tune. Many have tried, but few have made it their own the way Bob did. Wheteher ending the set, or ending the evening's performance, this song made it into almost every show's set list. I post this for the anniversary of his birth, to honor his memory and all the birthdays that we shared.

Live from Somewhere

Dock of the Bay

This was one of the first songs completely written by the version of the band I was in. I don't remember where it was recorded, Definitely done in a real studio. There is no complete version available on any CD or record. Just this from a cassette.

We're Not Animals

Before Thin White Line, I was in Kitsch with my brother Tony, Jeff Goldhammer and a few different drummers. This song was recorded before we splintered into other bands. Jeff wrote it and taught Tony the bass part. I joined in later. I'm posting it to honer my brother who passed away on December 5, 2019. Peace

Frequency 49

Tin White Line Live and in their prime. No performance was ever perfect, that was the charm. But the power and the pleasure of the music is it's own rewards.

Something Invincible

Take Me to the River

Our best produced video was to this song. Live it was usually a 15+ minute epic jam that kept people on the floor. Good Times.

Clap Track

This is our cover of Howling Wolf's Spoonful. It's also near the beginning of the band version with Toby Houser on bass. It's raw and live, full of guitar noise. A typical Thin White Line jam.

Live with Toby

Spoonfull

This features recordings from bands I've played in over the years. New material is in the future. Groups include Thin White Line, Eraserhead and Kitsch.
