Album Description

"Nonsense Parade" (produced by LHS, Garey Shelton and John Shoemaker) features 12 new soulful cuts that capture the essence and energy of the band. "Nonsense Parade" is the perfect blend of the bands' classic influences and present-day experience. The result is fresh and, at the same time, nostalgic, comparable to such timeless, eclectic, and accessible albums as the Counting Crows' "August and Everything After" or the Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main Street."

The music of this album is deeply rooted in the sounds that shaped rock and roll: barrel-house piano, soulful electric guitar, melodic acoustic grooves, swelling B3 Hammond organ, and memorable rock riffs. Throughout, thoughtful and often pained lyrics form a window into the life of a road-weary musician who has spent the last four years touring in support of his bands' previous albums, striving for recognition in a competitive and often contradictory music industry. Reflections on his experiences led songwriter and lead singer Ben Mish to the undeniably catchy and infinitely relative phrase, "It's all just a Nonsense Parade." "Nonsense Parade" features special guests Kathi MacDonald (former vocalist with Ike and Tina Turner, the Rolling Stones on "Exile on Main Street") and acclaimed composer and keyboardist Wayne Horvitz.

Customer Reviews:

Great album!.......2007-01-04

Left hand smoke has put together another great album here. Their mixture of blues and rock is a great change of pace from much of the music on the radio. This Seattle band has amazing writing ability as well as the musical talent to produce a brillant sound. If you have the opportunity to see them live don't pass it up, I guarantee you won't regret it.

It's time for a Rock and Roll Revolution!!!.......2005-03-15

Forget everything you thought you knew about the music scene in Seattle. The next musical revolution may be (and should be) right around the corner. In an era of cookie cutter pop bands (and record companies) who are more concerned with the bottom line than the quality of the product, Left Hand Smoke offers music lovers something that seems to have become lost in recent history...straight up rock and roll. It's a breath of fresh air. A totally unique blend of many classic genres, but in a new light, with modern day interpretations. The message may change, but the music is timeless. Unfortunately, it's a tough sound to market, but if you have the chance to catch their live show, don't miss it, and be ready to dance!

Solid gold from begining to end.......2004-02-18

I bought this CD after seeing these guys open for Maroon 5. Before the concert I had never heard anything about them, but now I can say that I am hooked

Album Description

Steered by Randy Diderrich, the Chicago quintet Sundayrunners offer a fantastic song cycle on their eponymous debut. Influences like Radiohead, Doves, and the Pixies are felt in both the upbeat opener, "Elected," and the quirky, experimental pop song "Memories Left at Sea," but if Sundayrunners draw inspiration from said greats, they still boast a uniqueness that keeps them from sounding derivative. As the disc plays out, the material holds up, from the pensive "1993" to the distorted, fractured magic of "Evolver." If the drama that propels "Floor Toms Fall Away" -- which recalls several tracks on David Bowie's classic Hunky Dory -- seems a little overblown at first, it quickly reveals itself to be an ideal forum for keyboardist Aaron Grant to display his talent. It also serves as Diderrich's finest vocal performance yet. - The All Music Guide, review by John D. Luerssen

Customer Reviews:

Excellent album with only one criticism.......2005-08-08

I really enjoyed the album and think that it makes a fantastic addition to my collection. The harmony on the vocals, the music, and the lyrics are all great. If I had one criticism of the CD it's that it is too upbeat through almost the whole thing. A couple of songs (in particular "Into Your Head") get a little bit of a downshift in mood. But with the melodic harmony and lyrics I would love to see a couple of darker songs, or even some songs that show less of an upbeat spirit. But this is still a great CD that I would definitely recommend.

Into your head.......2005-07-13

Original pop is not easy to find, especially if you want some genuine artistic merit.

But the Sundayrunners manage to create some in their self-titled debut, blending the sounds of Radiohead and the Pixies with a murky, swirling vibe all their own. It takes a few listens to peel away all the layers, but it's worth the time you spend.

It opens with a unique sound: Guitar riffs and distant percussion, overlaid with.... church bells? That sound sets the tone for "Elected," a symphonic pop that gets a bit of a boost from some enchanting chimes. It also sets the tone for the songs to come: Expect dense, catchy pop melodies with some extra flourishes.

The next few songs are more or less in that vein, which breaks with the crystalline "Into Your Head" and the lazy, slower sound of "1993," only to lapse back into the murky pop. The final song climaxes the album with a softer sound: expansive organ, delicate piano, and finally a downtempo rock finale. It's hard not to be a bit dewy eyed as it fades out at last.

Randy Diderrich apparently veered from one band to another -- and one style to another -- before settling into the psych-rock groove. As a result, the Sundayrunners sound a lot more polished than many new bands. There's no fumbling for a unique sound, or awkward songs that don't belong. Every song fits in neatly, like part of a musical mosaic.

Most bands have anywhere from two to five people. Not so with Sundayrunners. With ten people contributing to the music, it's no surprise that the music is so dense, murky and symphonic. All those different drums, basses and guitars woven together let the music swirl. Ethereal keyboards and the odd blip give it that psychedelic edge.

Diderrich's silky vocals are suited to his music. he sounds almost like an instrument in the louder songs, and is graceful and smooth on the softer ones. His songwriting is equally good -- a little lonely and sad, but sweetly pretty ones, with a romantic twist that leaves you feeling a bit melancholy.

The Sundayrunners, with Diderrich in the lead, craft a lush, sprawling pop masterpiece that doesn't stumble a single time. Beautiful and intimate.

I'm in love... still........2005-07-08

I wonder if it's illegal to marry an album. I'll have to look into it because I have been in love with this album for quite some time, and all the new albums by other bands I have purchased since being introduced to this one... just don't cut it. They end up being taken out of my cd player after a spin or two and I put SundayRunners right back in.
The songs are absolutely beautiful and I can never get them out of my head, but that's just fine with me.
It's surely love... I hope my mom and the government will approve of the marriage. I wonder if the album knows how to cook. Hmmmm...
Eitherway, I enjoy its company and it makes me smile.
What more could I ask for??

Smooth, melodic, sometimes haunting alterna-pop.......2005-02-06

The debut from Sunday Runners is smooth, melodic, sometimes haunting alterna-pop. Songs like "Half My Height" and "Evolver" feel like a melding of bands like The Cure and Radiohead while "Memories Left At Sea" remind us of Human Radio or Michael Penn fronted by U2-like vocals. This is a very entertaining and engaging new release.

Great Debut!.......2004-11-18

What can you say? Every song's a winner. Lush, atmospheric pop at its finest. Moving, romantic lyrics for the girls; just enough guitar for the guys- and clever keyboards layered throughout. Catchy as hell beats. Buy this CD now!!!

This Guy Will Blow Your Socks Off!!.......2001-06-01

The first time I heard 'Round One' I could not help remembering seeing Gregg Wright for the very first time "live"! This player (I would call him a musician's musician) blew me away! I am from the Hendrix era, and was one of the lucky people that had an opportunity to actually see Hendrix perform live. After seeing Gregg Wright perform, I felt the same, if not more, electricity that when I saw Hendrix perform. This guy will absolutely blow your socks off, and the cliche' "manipulates and transforms the guitar from a musical instrument, into a lethal weapon is not by any means wrong!! Listening to his CD is one thing, but if you EVER have an opportunity to see this guy perform, by all means, STOP, LOOK & LISTEN!!!

Heard him thats enough for me!.......2000-04-05

I don't even have to listen to the CD,I have heard Gregg Wright play live and I am telling you, he is the guitar players, guitar player. You will never hear another like him. It's about time we had a new release for the Gregg Wright starved people. If you love fantastic guitar work buy it, you won't be sorry! P

One of America's more overlooked saxophonists, the late Rahsaan Roland Kirk was distinctive for a number of reasons. He was a blind man who was able to play three reed instruments simultaneously, and his art encompassed traditional jazz, gospel, the avant-garde, ethnic music, and even pop music. Left Hook, Right Cross is a two-CD reissue of his more commercial efforts from 1969 and 1972, Volunteered Slavery and Blacknuss. On Volunteered Slavery Kirk juxtaposes an instrumental version of Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour" with an in-concert tribute to John Coltrane that included interpretations of "Lush Life" and "Bessie's Blues." While Blacknuss is slightly more sterile, Kirk's versions of "Ain't No Sunshine" and "What's Going On/Mercy Mercy Me" display an artist's inner vision that was both compelling and contemporary. --Mitch Meyers

Customer Reviews:

Two great ones.......2000-09-13

I am just lovin' these re-releases of multiple albums on one CD and the other box sets. They are doing Rahsaan right by avoid "best of's" and just putting out the whole records. These are two great ones with so much variety throughout. Some real cool versions of popular tunes of the day. One or two people might not like the pop tunes, preferring jazz standards, but there wasn't anything standard about Rahsaan. Why do the same jazz standards over and over and over again?? He was one of a kind and my favorite reed player bar none, without exception and that's a bold statement considering his mentors and colleagues.
