The Hair the TV the Baby and the Band
Imperial Teen. A band I’ve seen live 3 or 4 times, loved their records, but I, somehow, always manage to forget their existence. My rediscovering of them usually involves rifling through my pretty large, unorganized CD collection and I’ll stumble upon one of their 3 previous CD’s and go “Oh yeah!” Imperial Teen.
For those not in the know. Imperial Teen is an Indie Pop band from San Francisco and consists of Roddy Bottom, Will Schwartz, Lynn Truell and Jone Stebbins. (Roddy, of course, was in the band Faith No More). Their music reminds me of The Pixies (at least their first two albums) but all four of the band members sing, and their harmonies alone are pretty darn tootin’. The way they create so much within a song by their voices alone always impressed me.
Today, as I was cruising my regular music blogs, I was so pleased to hear a brand spankin’ new Imperial Teen song. With a little click of my mouse, I discovered that they are releasing a new album entitled The Hair the TV the Baby and the Band
which is scheduled for release on August 21, 2007.
Yet another musical surprise for 2007.
