Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2003-09-18
From Tucson: Band of Tucson stalwart musicians playing a rich blend of punky garage boogie spiced with psychedelia and Beatles pop harmonies, melodies. Think Salem Lights, Oranges Band, The Raspberries on a cocaine-crystal meth- airplane glue cocktail. Most songs are hard driving, upbeat rockers, guitar driven (no wanking). Play with fellow Tucsonans The Okmoniks, Resonars.

1) rocking boogie w/ lots of wha-oo backgrnd vocs
2) upbeat near punky
3) driving
4) driving catchy
5) driving hooky
6) swingier, bluesy harmonica, psyche for sure
7, 8, 9) driving
10) bouncier punky beat
11) retro pop punk feel
12) driving but more poppy, good
13) epic, chorus voc hook, tone and feel, a great shift midway
