Ewe-Be-70 Announce Scottish Tour and Drop New Album “Mutton for Nothing”
Scotland, brace your barns! The legendary wool covered crooners of Ewe-Be-70 are heading north for a baa-rilliant run of gigs across the Highlands and beyond. With fleece fluffed and hooves limbered, they’re bringing their new album “Mutton for Nothing” to haggis, coos, and unicorns across the land.
Once the voice of rebellious rams everywhere, the band’s new direction focuses on the trials of middle age, aching hooves, shrinking pastures, and mysterious bald patches in their fleece. Lead vocalist Baa-li Lambell sets the tone with heartfelt bleats about memory loss, tangled wool, and the eternal search for comfortable hay. As he croons, "I can't help falling asleep / After grazing and counting sheep...", you can practically hear the creak of arthritic knees in the background.
Critics are already calling their latest single, "Red Red Wool", a "heartfelt cry for softer hay and a decent pension plan." Other standout tracks on the album include "Can’t Help Falling in Mud", "Here I Am (Come and Shear Me)", "Ram in My Pasture", "Cheviot Oh Baby", and the instant classic, "The Way Ewe Chew the Grass Ewe Chew". The band, older and fluffier than ever, are sticking with their original lineup. Baa-li Lambell leads on vocals, joined by his brother Ram-in Lambell on guitar and vocals. Baastro provides the toasting and percussion, still wearing his trademark sunglasses and an attitude that screams "don't touch my fleece." Baa-rian Trotters brings in the brass with his soulful saxophone, while the ever-grounded Ewe-rl Flockner holds it all together on bass. Mic-ewe-el Virt-ewe tinkles the keys with just enough existential flair to remind you this is a band facing its twilight years. Lamby Baa-rown keeps the rhythm steady on drums (and sometimes nods off mid-solo), while Gnawman Hassan handles trombone and backup vocals with a voice as smooth as lanolin. The new album cover features the flock gazing wistfully into the distance, slightly confused, possibly pondering whether they’ve already eaten or not. Their Scottish spring tour promises early starts, soft bedding backstage, and at least one emergency vet on call. Ewe-Be-70 may be getting older, but they’re not ready to be put out to pasture just yet. Tickets for the upcoming tour are available on Ticketpasture or ViaGoatGoat
