Decades before the likes of the Hives and the White Stripes hit the mainstream, New York's Fleshtones were in on the first wave of retro-garage rock, infiltrating the nascent punk and new wave scenes of the late 1970s/early '80s with their raw, colorful brand of "Super Rock." Still going strong some 30 years later, the Fleshtones sound as vital and energetic as ever on TAKE A GOOD LOOK. Frontmen Keith Streng and Peter Zaremba are still on board, stoking the fires of the rock-&-roll party. From the punky snarl of "Never Grew Up" to the NUGGETS-like '60s vibe of the title tune, the fuzzy guitars, combo organ, and fervent handclaps all contribute to the good-time, strobe-lights-and-go-go-boots vibe.Spin (p.93) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Best bets are the handclaps-and-harmonica-powered 'Love Yourself,' the country-fried 'This Time Josephine,' and 'Never Grew Up,' a bashing, Stones-inflected ode to immaturity..."
Uncut (p.86) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[K]iller tunes like 'Feels Good To Me' and 'New York City' still sound like the work of delinquents raiding the local hop..."
No Depression (p.77) - "Their chemistry has been incendiary since the start, with Peter Zaremba's Farfisa organ and harmonica falling into a swinging punk-R&B patois with Keith Streng's tough twanging rock guitar..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.111) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]hey mix up a heady brew of stomping frat rock, honking R&B, pounding Brit invasion beat and sneering garage punk."
Harp (magazine) (p.111) - "TAKE A GOOD LOOK is boilerplate Fleshtones: a dozen fuzzed-out tracks in just over 30 minutes, all exuding a gloriously messy, Dave Clark Five-meets-New York Dolls classicism."

Take A Good Look album
 $13.69  
Some folks like to say that history is cyclical, and it certainly supports this theory that just as a bunch of young bucks have (once again) come along to say that rock & roll is getting stale and needs a good dose of high attitude and fuzz-tone energy, the Fleshtones -- who've been saying the same thing since 1977 -- have re-emerged to remind the world how this whole "super rock" thing is supposed to be done. Maybe they don't dress quite as sharp as the Hives, or pose as well as the Strokes, or get worshiped by the British press quite like the White Stripes, but one spin of the Fleshtones' 2003 platter Do You Swing? proves that if you wanna get a rock & roll dance party started, Peter Zaremba and ...

Take A Good Look CD music
$14.05 
While it took a long and torturous five years for the Flamin' Groovies to find their way back to an American record deal with Shake Some Action, a year and a half later the band had a follow-up ready, and while 1978's Flamin' Groovies Now isn't quite as cohesive as the album that preceded it, in many respects the band sounds at once tighter and more relaxed, with some time on the road firming up the rhythm section while giving the songs a bit more room to swing ...

Take A Good Look music CDs
$13.09 
While 2003's Do You Swing? was strong enough to convince any doubters that the Fleshtones were still firing on all cylinders after cranking out the "Super Rock" since 1976, 2005's Beachhead goes that fine album one better -- Beachhead ...

| | Nick Lowe Jesus Of Cool: 30th Anniversary Edition CD (1978) Reissue; Digipak
Take A Good Look album
$12.55
Nick Lowe's first album threw down the gauntlet in grand form--a baker's dozen of "pure pop for now people" (which is, in fact, what a nervous Columbia Records retitled the album for its stateside release). Lowe was charting regularly in his English homeland, and though he didn't reach the same heights of chart ...

The son of a chemical engineer and a graphic artist, he lived there untill the age of five. Moving then to California this midwest kid became exposed to skateboarding, hip hop,and more sun than a fair skinned person should handle. Handle it he did, evolving into a teenager under a western sky. Creativity has always been a part of his family. Early on he was taken to nemerous musicals in which his mother was a reoccuring actor. Art and music were encouraged themes growing up.In highschool he started a heavy metal music band where he would be the drummer. With a bright yellow kit bought for seventy five dollars and constant after school practice drums where becomming his first instrument. He was then invited to tryout for lead vocals in the band Grasshouse. He became the lead vocalist in the band that became an interesting mix of classic rock and acid jazz. This was strange music for fifteen year olds to be playing. The group became very popular, playing many shows in Bakersfield,Los Angeles California. Two of these shows were with opening band Cake and Cypress Hills Sen Dog's side project. During this period, Analog played with musicians like Ademas's Kris Coles at venues like LA's Whiskey A Go-Go. This was a growing period one could not forget.Music being his passion he mastered his insturments;learning guitar, bass, keyboard, sequenceing and recording techniques. Producing records with Zach Davidson for local band Plebian Cry (now Epic Records band VENDETTA RED) and on his own music was becoming a way of life!Times change and adventure calls. With this came the opportunity to travel to Europe to join a new band in Ireland called Guava. Again the chemistry was electric ...
