Awkward Rockers present Frisco Frisco (newest album)
Why give away music?

 

Rubbish

4. Not the Same
5. New York
6. What I Wouldn't Do

Frisco Frisco

Unexpected release from the final awkward rocker lineup. After months of back-and-forth, dylan and matt pressed the 'LAUNCH' button and the Laboratory of the Inevitable managed to spit out one more playful collection in the tradition of 'headphone music' vols 1 & 2.

Amethyst Deceiver

Sophomore album, produced and recorded by Andy Z. The Woodsmen spared no expense in the creation of this car- eening juggernaut. Every song gets the full Andy Z. treatment of thickly nuanced, textured sound. Cavernous drums, piano, synth, strings, horns, organ, guitar, dozens of amplifiers- its all in there! The destructive "Top of the Hill" and the sensitive "Not Know" are the north and south poles of this album, with "Ride in my Car" as the standout single.

Black Hair

Rock Meets Santa Cruz Soul in this debut effort from the chaps who wouldn't say 'when'. Hefty pounding from J. Nelson on drums supports a guitar- heavy sound with plenty of bass and keys. The mood varies from the all-out mayhem of "Picnic Queens & Kings" to the soul anthem "Feel You Sighing" and the melancholy confessional "Meet You At The Stairwell".




1. Seats Is Soft
2. Take Me If You Want Me
3. Feel You Sighing
4. Turn out the Lights
5. Cold Is Foot
6. I'm For Real

Lunchbag

Back in Ridgetop Studios, this curious collection of songs features the sparse "Axis", the shy and funky "Berkeley", the brazen "Chicago", & the dense, foreboding "Time of Your Arrival". This would be the last album with the young gorilla J. Nelson on drums.

Ridgetop Session

While they waited for A.D. to be completed, The Woodsmen went to a local studio in the mountains and teamed up with engineer Tim Prince to record an all-live project. The album consists mainly of renditions of material from B.H. and A.D.- except for Woodsmen rarities "Hercules", "Don't Fly Away", and "Think". Recorded in a single afternoon, Ridgetop has an anxious, imperative feel and an uncluttered lineup of only grand piano, bass, drums and vocals.
