New York City band, God Street Wine, released their brand new comedic single on Tuesday, titled, “Kristi Shot a Puppy.”
The satirical title references South Dakota Governor, Kristi Noem. She is a controversial republican politician who, according to her own memoir, shot and killed her dog on her family farm.
God Street Wine is no stranger to dark humor as they often use comedic lyrics to get statements across to listeners.
The band took to Facebook writing, “No animals of any kind were harmed during the recording of this new #GodStreetWine song. We wish the same was true of the subject matter. It’s a weird world out there. Be safe, be kind and please exercise your right to #vote. Your voice matters!”
Since the band formed in 1988, God street Wine has released nine studio albums and opened for big names in rock including The Allman Brothers Band, Dave Mathews band and Sheryl Crow. Founding bandmates, Lo Faber and Dan Pifer met at NYU and then transferred to Manhattan school of music where they met guitarist and vocalist Aaron Maxwell. The founding members’ background in jazz mixed with bluegrass and rock creates the band’s unique sound.
“Kristi Shot a Puppy” follows their album released in February, Hot Sweet and Juicy. Fans will have a chance to see God Street Band live while they hit the road again this Fall. They will perform at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, Sept. 20 and 21, The NYC venue, The Cutting room on Sept. 27 and The Wonder Bar in New Jersey Sept 28.
