Lions In The Street

These young guys from Vancouver are beyond exceptional.......all "Sticky Fingers", Allmans, Little Feat and Gospel........

What impressed me the most was the big sound these guys have, the great singer and some of their other songs have the same soul of the Stones most lovesick melancholy.

Apparently Todd Rundgren and Bob Ezrin have both pursued them in a hope of producing them!

You can download for free a "Mixtape EP" from their site that preempts their debut LP.......

That's excellent. I picked up their EP for 50 cents. You know I don't expect anyone to believe me, but I think this band from Madison "The Blueheels" is every bit as good as that, although more like The Band meets 16 Horsepower with a bigger sound.
It's hard for me to be pessimistic about the future of music with so many of these great young bands coming along. I'm thinking of it less and less as "retro" and more and more as Rock & Roll as a mature established art form.

"Timeless Rock" as i like to call it........nothing beats great songs and a great sound.

This band will be huge.......or bust out some cult classics.

The Answer, Dirty Sweet, Earl Greyhound and now Lions In The Street.....i'm gathering a nice little wagon of essential current day rock n' roll.

Dammit RP!

Stop costing me money!

You know I have a weakness for this style; stop feeding the addiction!!!

On second thought...

gimme...gimme...gimme...gimme...

Yeah download away......that's what it's there for.

Get ya hooked for when they release their debut shortly.

Is this the same band?

Yep.

40 cents!?!??!

I'm there!

But, oh...I paid 41 cents for a sealed copy.

BTW, I'm spreading the news on these bands.

I've already won converts to Diamond Dogs and Prima Donna.

Tut tut!


There are some extras on the site to download that aren't on that EP.

I can't get that download to work beyond the first song. Freakin Vista and it's "security".

Good stuff Toho.......getting the right music in the right hands. There is no bigger tragedy than people missing music they would love.

oops. We have both ordered the same copy I think. Amazon still has it on their board now. I'll PM you about this. Sorry.

Fixed it for ya.

Sure...you start with easy victims like me.

But then you move on to more difficult targets like SAHB. Trying to set us at each other for CDs you suggested.

I'm onto your plan!!!

I've cost Shiney a pretty penny every now and then too.......got him chasing a very elusive "White Rabbit" (No that's not their name) of a band for a while now.

I say ban RP also. He's a cyber-terrorist obviously.

Terrorist of your wallet more like it.

Now we're trying to figure out who got the CD first, me or SAHB.

See what you started RP????

Settle down kids there's plenty to go around.

On another note i'm missing Ken (Eye)........he'd love this stuff.......that's if he's not already onto it already.

Eye gets 1000 discs a week.

I'm sure he's onto this band already.
