Two Ton Boa songwriter/bassist/vocalist Sherry Fraser has emerged from her hiatus, gathered all the original band members and will release the full-length album, Parasiticide, on Olympia's Kill Rock Stars label. â€" Brad Allen

• Fanatic Promotions reports: Over the past six years, Two Ton Boa toured the country with acts like L7 and Blonde Redhead, and released a couple of compilation tracks and a seven-inch single. However, the band's rapt cult following of fans, artists and critics eagerly awaited new material. Finally, in early 2006, Fraser re-emerged from self-imposed exile and completed recording with the original line-up of bassist Brian Sparhawk (also of Fitz of Depression) and drummer Dan Rieser. Pianist/organist Scott Seckington (also of The Old Haunts) joined the band just prior to the new recording. Full story here.

Get ready. Fraser's funhouse is coming back to town.
