Tacoma Rock City
Saturday, February 7th, 2009

By now many of you should know about “Two Car Garage,” the forthcoming split disc that the Ventures and the Fabulous Wailers are releasing on April 10 to commemorate their 50th anniversaries. (Click here to learn more about the album and the CD release party if you’ve been slackin’ on your Bring the Noise readin’.) And this morning it was a meeting of Tacoma rock legends, pimped rides and one smokin’ model at Austin's Pro Max on South Tacoma Way for the album cover shoot.

Ventures guitarist Don Wilson (top photo) and the Wailers’ Buck Ormsby posed for a couple of promo shots with Seattle burlesque performer Fuchsia Foxxx, the model recruited for their new album cover. Wilson just recently returned from a tour of Japan during which the Ventures played 22 shows in less than two weeks.

The scantily clad Foxxx braved the elements and got her pose on as photog Chad Ruin snapped away. Did I mention it was just a few degrees above freezing?

Wilson and Ormsby huddled with Wilson’s son, Tim Wilson (far left) and Blue Horizon Record’s Leonard Haggarty.
