Scottish Bob won’t be there, but we will.

Bob’s in Edinburgh, after all, and a practical man.
Matty and Cheri, reckless as ever, will be flying in from Brooklyn to play with the other members of Mark Bacino’s band as he performs his new album “Queens English” in its entirety.

Sherman Boim, who put this show together, says “If it sounds like the Beatles, it’s power pop.”  Shhhhhhh - we don’t sound like the Beatles. But we fit the bill in our own melodic, harmony-laden fashion.

Mouse Pak, “Reindeer Boy”

Cigarette Ash

We don’t smoke, but we can’t deny a great cigarette song, whether it’s Patsy Cline’s “Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray” or Oasis’ “Cigarettes & Alcohol.” It’s funny how so many of them focus more on the ashtray than the cigarette, but then again, a lot of our favorite love songs are actually about the breakup. So. Anyway. Here’s a cover of one of our favorite ashtray songs, Guided by Voices’ “Hey Aardvark,” which seems to be about neither the love nor the breakup, just the smoke.

Trouble Dolls, “Hey Aardvark”
