Spinal Tap: Where's YOUR Cucumber?



Michael McKean, Harry Shearer and Christopher Guest, better known to us cucumber-stuffing metalfolks as David St. Hubbins, Derek Smalls and Nigel Tufnel, are going on tour as "Unplugged and Unwigged." The show will feature acoustic versions of songs from This is Spinal Tap, A Mighty Wind and Waiting For Guffman.

Meanwhile, there is a new Tap record in the works. Back From The Dead is scheduled for release on June 16. Dead will feature new versions of the songs from the classic movie soundtrack as well as brand-new and previously unfinished compositions. It's been confirmed that one of these new cuts is the 20-minute long epic "Short and Sweet." Another, the lead track from unfinished Tap musical Saucy Jack, is available for free download here.
