Many thanks to
Austin for the heads up on this Kickstarter project -
Accidents Waiting to Happen: The 12 Rods Story. If you are not familiar, 12 Rods was a Minneapolis band that was active from 1996 to 2004 - releasing a bunch of great albums in that time. Their sound, to me, was similar to
Self but a little more vulnerable. I can't tell you the number of times I've listened to
this song. Beyond that, I actually don't know much about their story.
Fortunately, Director James Francis Flynn (brother to 12 Rods bassist, Matt Flynn) is taking on the task of putting together a documentary about them. Their
campaign is a ways off from being fully funded but hopefully they can get the exposure they need to make it happen. It's a story I'd love to see.
