1. I must admit I was skeptical when I clicked over, but that’s not half-bad! I like me some Bowie!

   Nice cover art too.

   I went ahead and grabbed the first album (“Seductio”) from Amazon (sorry, I had credit there, and it was a buck cheaper, plus I have some beefs with iTunes). That one reminds me of Creeper Lagoon a bit on first blush, I’ll try to give it some time tomorrow.Report

   1. I like me some Bowie!

      This was the thought that I had as well.

      It pleases me that there is still guitar rock in the world.Report

      1. Being in a two guitar garage rockamaroll band, I can tell you that what it means is people saying for six or seven years that guitar rock is dead, so what are you doing? And then someone like the White Stripes or Black Keys comes along and they say guitar rock is back, and you’re jumping on the bandwagon!Report

         1. I hear you’re buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a Yaz record.

            I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.

            I hear everybody that you know is more relevant than everybody that I know.Report

   2. I fishing love Creeper Lagoon. I’ll have to check that out.

      Funny story. I first saw Creeper Lagoon opening for Archers of Loaf. My friend and I didn’t know much about them, but quickly learned that one of the guy’s went by the name, Sharky Laguana. So after there set, as they were tearing down, my friend had to ask him, ‘is your name really Sharky Laguana?’ Well, it is. And we know this because he ran to the back of the stage, grabbed his wallet and showed us his Driver’s License.Report

      1. A. Archers of Loaf are the best, worst-named rock band ever. I freaking love those guys. But that name. But I love those guys. But what were they thinking when they chose that name. Repeat ad infinitum.

         B. Sharky Laguana is second only to Feargal Sharkey, lead singer of the Undertones.

         I only had the one CL CD (“I Become Small…”) and I liked it OK. Bit of a GbV thing going on, IIRC.Report

         1. I’ve got some friends in a band called Musicband.Report

            1. That may be worse. It’s basically googleproof in addition to being just plain goofy.Report

         2. I found ‘I Become Small and Go’ a little hit and miss. There were a handful of really good songs, and few ones that were ok. It was seeing them live that I really loved (though I only saw them twice).Report

2. Hmmm…. maybe they’ll tour. I’d book em. If they wanted to stop in Hamilton between Toronto and Detroit…Report

3. Hi everyone. Thanks so much for the listen. Full length comes out 3/20/13. It’s a privilege to make some music for you and I’m grateful for your ears!Report

4. I predict a hit. This is one catchy fab tune! Just played it another ten times – love it!Report
