| | Pinkeye D'Gekko Dry Clothes For The Drowning CD Pinkeye D'Gekko Discography of CDs
Steve Richards Mahoney, lead singer for St. Louis' Pinkeye d'Gekko, has been quoted as saying, "Our roots don't begin with Nirvana, and I think a lot of our fans -- especially the older ones -- appreciate that. Don't get me wrong; we love the music of the '90s and beyond, but some groups don't know the rich history that came before." No one will mistake Pinkeye d'Gekko for a band that is unaware of rock's pre-Nirvana, pre-Pearl Jam history; despite a few traces of alternative rock here and there, Dry Clothes for the Drowning is a nostalgic album that is extremely knowledgeable of the '60s and '70s -- so knowledgeable, in fact, that the band comes across as retro more often than not. The intriguing "Call Me Adolf During Wartime" hasn't escaped the influence of post-'80s alterna-rock, but on the whole, this 2004 release has a lot of old-school appeal -- and that isn't a bad thing because Pinkeye's members are enjoyably good at what they do. Mahoney, a skillful vocalist/songwriter who produced the disc and wrote most of the material, has a variety of pre-'90s influences -- and they range from the Rolling Stones, the Allman Brothers, and the Beatles to Alice Cooper and T. Rex. Pinkeye favor a very rootsy, down-home outlook on "Girls of Arkansas," "River Boat Queen," and "God Bless You Baby," but they bring more of a glam rock attack to the infectious "Queen of Fire" -- and "The Velvet Fizz" and "Missing" have a psychedelic appeal that recalls the Beatles' post-1966 work. Retro-minded groups can, in some cases, become predictable, but that isn't a problem for Pinkeye d'Gekko; Dry Clothes for the Drowning is a pleasingly unpredictable yet consistent effort from the Midwestern outfit. ~ Alex Henderson
The incredible follow-up to the debut album "Rhythm & Westrn" is here! "Dry Clothes for the Drowning" is rock like used to be, straight-up and in-your-face. Single handedly bringing Classic Rock back to the mainstream, PD'G proves that "Classic" doesn't have to be old...

"Friend Of A Friend is by far the most alternative band in the region. I mean this in the most original sense of the word before alternative became an "in-thing" to call any music! This is a band to follow, watch and keep your eye on!" -Dave Buco, The Midwest Beat, Aug 2001.Formerly known as Libbets and then Projekt Mayhem, Friend of a Friend (F of a F) is a four piece pop/alternative/emo-rock band with James Laczkowski on guitar and vocals, Dan Frailich on guitar, Josh Childs on bass, and Nate Bohanan on drums. F of a F draws its creative drive from James's views on love and life, as well as the other member's life experiences. Seeking to venture out further with a sound that versatile and creative, F of a F also branched out into doing instrumentals that are ambient yet energetic. F of a F likes to experiment, with songs that are as simple as one acoustic guitar and mic, to upwards of 40 tracks of keyboards, distorted drums, effects, and other miscellaneous concoctions. F of a F began with just one guy and his guitar, but a mutual love of music has brought together this new live line- up to many Chicago land venues including the Muse Cafe in Lansing as well as the Unicorn Cafe in Evanston. Avid spectators, fans, and passers-by have compared them to the sounds of a Bends-era Radiohead as well as the recent breakthrough power punk stylings of Jimmy Eats World. Most recently, they played a truly amazing show at Tower Records that was a near life-altering experience for the band. Although F of a F may have deeply introspective and serious lyrics at times, their live shows are recognized as being fun and unexpected. Instead of four guys just ...

The Peasants have completed FIVE tours in Europe since 2001 and are known for their energetic stage show. Principle Peasant Pete Cassani grew up in a suburb of New York City called Levittown where all the houses look the same. He started playing guitar at age 14. Began playing in bands soon after. On school nights he would jump out the window of the second story house he lived in to go play with bands despite his parent's attempts to keep him away from the evil influences of rock music. A few years later Cassani moved to Boston and began playing on the streets and subways of that city. The power trio of The Peasants was born and began touring the USA in the Spring of 1997. Soon after the first tour they self-released the 13 song Out On The Street CD. Over 250 college radio stations put the CD on their playlists after only 8 weeks of the release. A totally Do It Yourself band, The Peasants put out their own records, book their own tours and play their own uncompromising rock all over the USA, having completed 10 National USA tours so far. In 2001 The Peasants hooked up with a Dutch booking agent and began touring Holland and later, Germany. They found a huge European audience that was hungry ...
