Album Description Blam! Is the first full-length album from The Kustard Kings, the house band for the critically acclaimed New York City based Loser's Lounge series. The Kustard Kings are one of the most written-about, talked-about and in-demand bands in New York. The band has shared the stage with such diverse talents as Deborah Harry, James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins), Lenny Kaye, J. Mascis, Bob Mould, Joey Ramone and Ronnie Spector. The group has received high praise from such notables as Burt Bacharach and Lee Hazelwood. Blam! combines The Kustard Kings' years of honed stagecraft with their lounge- and surf-tinged originals into an instrumental-blend that will amaze you. Blam! is an album that bursts out of the speakers and puts the listener in the best seat in the lounge. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsAs good as the beatles 11/19/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "We've been listening to this music for quite a while, ever since we were really young, and we've never tired of hearing it. The songs are excellent, and remind us of some of our favorite music group's music- the Beatles,and some of my dad's work (heehee). This music is awsome, and EVERYONE should listen to it. This cd is worth 10 stars, a million $, and lots more. Fans of the Kustard Kings, ET, NET, and MKT =^..^=" Time is Tight. . . . Michael Berube | State College, PA United States | 05/24/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) ". . . and so is the band. The final two cuts, covers of "Jungle Boogie" and "Spiderman," will hook many listeners, not simply because the tunes are familiar but because the Kustard Kings somehow make the songs their own--as if Spidey and Kool and the Gang never realized until now that their tunes would sound so fresh as lounge-fare-with-organ. But the rest of the CD is even livelier: Terhune, McGinty, and Woolsey are inventive songwriters, and the band is crisp and explosive. And really, really tight, too. A great record for parties *and* for good close bar-by-bar listening, right up there with the "Big Lazy" CD (you know, the band that provided half the soundtrack for the movie Startup.com)--" This band makes my head go blam Michael Berube | 05/17/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "For my money, this is classical music. Everyone'll tell you these guys do the instrumental thing a la Meters...hip grinding, knee genuflecting, neck swivelling like an Egyption Hieroglyph cat. You get the idea, I'm sure. I heard they used to do gigs in the pyjamas...it figures...to play music that makes the listener get ready to go to bed (who said sleep?...I said "bed"), it is perfectly appropriate to be attired thusly.
So, to summarize: excellent instrumental music, original, but with enough points of reference so that the uninitiated can get it quick. They all seem like such nice people...can it really be 2002?" |
