Oxbow Announce New Album, European Tour, Debut Novel From Eugene S. Robinson

The first novel from Oxbow's Eugene S. Robinson, and the second publication after the release of his 2007 book Fight: Everything You Wanted To Know About Ass Kicking But Were Afraid You'd Get Your Ass Kicked For Asking [Harper Collins], A Long Slow Screw is a two-fisted hardboiled crime saga set in 1970s New York that closely follows a diamond heist gone right and then murderously wrong. Featuring a passel of punks, tough broads, shysters and homicidal homos, A Long Slow Screw draws heavily on Robinson's real life involvement with elements partially detailed in his best-selling Fight, weaving a fictional story of the chaotic pre-9/11 world of New York City. A native New Yorker himself, Robinson's novel reads like a travelogue to the business end of a bunch of very, very bad things.

And following Oxbow's 2009 band tour, as well as A Long Slow Screw's release on the tail of the successful 2008-2009 US/European tour for Fight, Robinson, Mammoth Booking, Conspiracy and Tone Deaf Booking are offering A Long Slow Screw spokenword European/UK tour for 2010. An evening of song, sex and short readings, Robinson's A Long Slow Screw tour will cover America's twin obsession with fucking and killing both up close AND personally.

In addition, Oxbow have announced new album "Songs For The French," a limited edition tour-only 12".
