Six bands, the regular weekly lineup, recorded live at the Little Theatre Cafe in
May of 2004. This cd featuures the Brady Miller Trio,
The White Hots, Ben Gallina Trio, Margaret Explosion,
Trio East, Bob Sneider Duo, Diane Armesto Quartet, and
Gene Bertoncini. The Margaret Explosion track, "Floating At The Bug Jar" features Pete LaBonne on piano. |
Released
in late 2003, "1969" is an organic exploration
of wide open sonic landscapes. Recorded live to four
tracks at Studio 55, the sax, guitar, drums and bass
lineup nods to that period that zoomed by when rock
met jazz.
The
Margaret Explosion lineup now includes three former
members of Personal Effects and the new cd includes
an instrumental of “Don’t Wake Me”
from Personal Effects’ 1983 debut album.

City Newspaper said: "Margaret Explosion is an otherworldly
lounge band that played an esoteric weekly Friday night
happy hour at the Bug Jar. The ethereal soundtrack they
provided cast an often eerie, slow-motion effect on
the just-out-of-work crowd's revelries. The group's
improvised minor-key melodies bathed the room in a melancholy
glow, suggesting old eight-millimeter home movies, and
blurring the line between experience and reminiscence."

“Outta
Sight, Outta Mind” is instrumental so it works
in all languages. It rocks the sub-conscience. Invisible
Idiot's music is drenched in a Sunday afternoon daydream. “Outta
Sight, Outta Mind” will make you see things with your ears. A
limited edition of 500 cds was engraved in two colors
at Paul Klem's in Rochester, New York.
The band logo is blind embossed. The package is as seductive
as the music.
City Newspaper says “Outta
Sight, Outta Mind” is a brilliant soundtrack, for whatever movie happens
to come along"

These
twelve songs from the legendary Pete LaBonne fit together
so well that they might contain the secrets of the universe.
Only repeated listening will tell.
City Newspaper says “Pete Labonne is a genius. A master
of the little word/big concept school of songwriting.”

Bob
Martin, formerly with Personal Effects, has crafted this
guitar-based, instrumental collection of worldly soundscapes
for yoga teachers and massage therapists to use in their
work. If you aren't into either of these practices, it's
perfect for spacing out on your own. |
