The new tracks were recorded and mixed by Paul Malinowski. “The Creepy Jingles are a Kansas City based, rock and roll band that both honors and defies convention. Led by singer and song-writer Jocelyn Olivia Nixon, a transgender wordsmith who charms with razor wit and dazzles with her lyrical acrobatics.” Also in the band, Wills Van Doorn soars on guitar, Andrew Woody keeps the band on the highway on bass, and Nick Robertson as a founding member holds it all down on drums.

At 11:30 Brenton Cook talks about Haymaker Records 10 Year Anniversary Show at recordBar, 1520 Grand Blvd., KCMO on Saturday, May 4, 2024, at 7:00pm with Freight Train Rabbit Killer, Be/Non, and Jorge Arana Trio. Brenton formed Haymaker Records in January 2014. At his college radio station KMNR in Rolla, Missouri Brenton served as a disc jockey, business manager, and assistant music director, where he forged his love for independent music. After four years of volunteering for Midwest Music Foundation and coordinating three volumes of music compilations of regional artists, Brenton learned the hands-on know-how to produce, release, and promote independent music. Haymaker Records chose to focus on boundary-pushing artists and provide promotion and a home for music that might be overlooked by traditional radio. Jorge Arana Trio became the first band signed in July 2014. Since that first release, the label has released a total of 24 recordings from 10 different artists including Be/Non, Freight Train Rabbit Killer, Schwervon!, Monta At Odds, HMPH!, and Sie Lieben Maschinen. 14 releases have made their way onto vinyl, including two compilations of artists from KC, as well as acts from Arkansas to Norway.
