Colin Mahoney: Drums

Recorded by Kevin Suggs, Earle Mankey & John Russel

"Every one of these songs is a polished & sparkling gem. The infectious tuneful music is played with punk enthusiasm & pop polish."

(1996)

The band's most ambitious studio endeavor to date. Written in 1989, and in and out of production since then, it is the chronicle of a particularly dark night of the soul and features thirteen songs interwoven to create a unified song cycle that showcases the band's versatility as well as Andras Jones' muse at its wittiest and most impassioned. Recorded in Boston by Mike Deneen (producer of Aimee Mann and Letters To Cleo), The Hard Feelings is a lush and intimate wallow for young lovers.

"In a world of bombastic riff and groove this CD is an invitation to something else. I listened to it alone in the pre-evening grey and drifted into dreams of love and loss. It is the sort of record I would only recommend to someone I trust."

-K. Coalinga, Freelance DJ, New York

(1991)

A powerful statement about artistic integrity in the face of the hypocrisy and cynicism of the record industry. Driving rhythms and snarling guitars mix with harmonica and violin to generate an ironic atmosphere for Mr. J's dissatisfaction. Produced with Earle Mankey (The Beach Boys, Concrete Blonde).

"Some thirty years ago, people flocked to California. Now people are getting the flock out. This could be the soundtrack to that growing un-exodus - the flipside downside to everthing The Mamas and The Papas ever stood for as seen through the eyes of a struggling band..."

(1995)

The music on this particular collection is neither lounge nor grunge, but rather what I like to call "lunge" music - that is, songs and performances which leap out at you, demanding your attention. Sometimes it can be as soft as a kitten's tail. Other times, it's as if someone is sharpening a pencil in your ear. Either way, this CD is your passkey to wondrous, far-away places where you'll meet lots of new and interesting people. Some will say the right things and win you over immediately. Others will sneeze food out of their nose and onto your sleeve and you'll never want to see them again. Yowza!

CD: $15

" Suprisingly cohesive, this compilation pulls together independent acts from across the country and from all over the musical spectrum. Spew scores a hit right off with their supercharged, radio-ready "Fascist"...Other highlights are the Costello influenced Serene Dominic...and Bill WhiteAcre, who invokes the spirit of Dave Matthews with both his soulful guitar and soft spoken vocals. Are any of these guys going to be huge? I dunno. In the event that they never become superstars, it would be a damn shame to let these folks slip away unheard."

- Louis Parsonovich, Pandemonium, Tacoma, WA
