Judging from your emails, we guess you all probably wrote us off for dead. We’re happy to say otherwise. The Wrinkle Neck Mules are alive and well. Thanks for staying with us and giving us some time to get our collective shit together.
Since we’re not sure where the story left off, let us give you a brief synopsis of the last 12 months in the life of Wrinkle Neck Mules. Back in December 2010, we spent about 6 days in a studio in Charlottesville recording a brand new record that we thought we’d put out sometime during 2011. Well, 5 weeks after that recording session, Andy flew off of a 30 foot cliff in a pickup truck while travelling in Argentina with his brother. See below.
Yes. Hardcore stuff. Luckily, all he sustained from this daring feat was a badly rearranged clavicle bone and some psychological scars that we probably haven’t seen the full impact of just yet. Needless to say, his injury put all Mules plans on halt for a while. In fact, we only played one show in the whole of 2011.
Alas, now he’s all healed up and we’re glad to announce the release of our new record “Apprentice to Ghosts” sometime in February 2012. The album was recorded live in studio – a departure from our previous methods – and we’re pumped to FINALLY get it out there for you folks.
You may have heard one of the songs from the album already without even knowing it. One of the tracks, “Central Daylight Time” is featured in a Geico ad that is currently running all over the country. It’s the one with the gecko in the honky tonk in Texas during his Epic Journey across the US. Stay tuned for more on this.
We’ll finally dust off all the instruments and hit the streets some in 2012. We’re confirming a few shows right now for February in association with the record release.
So, what have we been doing with our time this year? Good question. Well, Mason, Chase and Andy took the time to form and launch their own clothing company called Howler Brothers. Check it out at howlerbros.com. We think you’ll dig it.
We’re glad to finally launch our new site and get on with the show. Thanks to all of you for your emails and messages. Sorry to be gone so long. We’re back on track and look forward to seeing you in 2012.
Happy Thanksgiving.

The first time I heard the Geico commercial with Central Daylight Time I knew I had to find out who sang it. Great job guys! I hope it really launches your careers. I’ll be keeping track of you and looking forward to getting the album in February.

Are the songs on the new album part of the 30 some odd songs you guys recorded before the release of Let The Lead Fly? Hope you guys can make it back to Birmingham, Al this year. Glad to see you guys are back!
