A Story about Charly "The City Mouse" FasanoThe City Mouse is a poet and story teller from Denver, Colorado. He tells stories about his travels, nightly experiences in dive bars and his self-deprecating attempts at relationships. He's been a roadie for Drag The River, a local rock promoter up and down the front range (that's the Rocky Mountains). He reads his stories weekly at various venues and has performed with folks like Lucero, Rocky Vololato, Drag the River, Tim Barry (Avail), Bang Sugar Bang, The Hard-ons, The Queers, monofog, Fight Like Hell, Fucking Orange, and the list goes on. He's handed out thousands of envelopes of his stories at shows, art gallerys, record stores, U-haul rental centers and truck stops etc.In February of 2OO6 he rode a Greyhound bus 5O hours round trip from the Mile High City to Memphis, Tennessee to record a 7" record with Lucero and Rick Steff who is currently playing with Cat Power. All this, the brainchild of years of floating ideas, empty bottles of Wild Turkey and neglected hygiene.Pretend You Can Reab.
