After a year of adversity, tri-city quartet Haggis has the last laugh with Karma Suits Ya!

...continued from page 2

Someone slips on a Lynyrd Skynyrd CD and Moon and Talenti are suddenly upbeat again. These guys love to rock, and it shows, even when they're listening to other people do it on a jukebox.

Getting back to the tireless self-promotion, which sounds like a slam depending on who's doing the saying, both men are unapologetic.

Haggis on its newest release: "The first record was a drunken weekend. The next record was a drunken weekend with a month of mixing. This record was giving birth."

Kevin Scanlon

Haggis: "We definitely want the kind of songs you can wave your cigarette lighters in the air."

Details

Hosts two back-to-back CD release parties Friday, June 28, with Dragon Attack, and Ultrabend; and Saturday, June 29, with The Piper Downs, and Sugar High. Both shows are at 9:30 p.m. Call 480-820-7117.

Hollywood Alley, 2610 West Baseline in Mesa

"That's rock. Too fucking bad," snorts Moon.

"If you believe what you're doing, you should never be ashamed of promoting yourself," Talenti offers. "If you don't believe what you're doing and you're hawking it around town for all the wrong reasons, then you probably have an issue with yourself. We want this to be our full-time thing; if it ever comes off as overpromoting, it's just us with our zeal to make it to that level."

Moon seconds the motion. "But I think, in our heart of hearts, we wouldn't mind just being ubiquitous."
