Dan Sartain returns with a whore-able new album ‘Too Tough To Live’ on January 30th on One Little Indian Records, 13 tracks delivered in under 19 minutes! That’s an average strike rate of a new tune every 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Recorded at Lucky Cat, San Francisco, ‘Too Tough To Live’ finds Sartain running fresh out of patience with a whole itinerary of hassles – department stores, death, the unseeing eye, the all-seeing eye, heaven, hell, Vietnam, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays – and YOU!

Sartain is particularly excited to announce singer/guitarist Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go’s as guest-star on ‘Now Now Now’. The two met at a brain trust of sorts in San Francisco known as a Star Track convention. After some begging and name dropping, Wiedlin was convinced to Join Dan Sartain, achieving a forced human interaction paralleled by none!

‘Too Tough To Live’ finds Sartain operating at the opposite end of his range to 2009’s ‘Dan Sartain Lives’. With adequate production values and some musical ability, the down stroke ridden ‘Too Tough To Live’ is a tribute to when punk was real, MAAAAAAN!!!!
