Good Grief

The core of this unusual band comprises: ALEX GRAYSON who plays guitars, sings lead & harmony and writes songs on subjects not tackled by well-balanced songwriters; and LYNDON J CONNAH who plays keyboards, guitars, bass, percussion & kazoo, sings lead and harmony and writes songs, equally eccentric but very different. So who is the 3rd Mouse? Well, there's this dude who plays drums and sings rather nicely. His name is SEAN KANE and he adds some much needed sex appeal to the line-up. Often augmented by Andy Herbert (bass guitar), Ian Close (sax) and an assortment of guests, the music they create seems to inhabit a rocky road less travelled. Influences include The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Stephen Sondheim, Led Zeppelin, Weather Report, Steely Dan & Thomas Dolby. Comparisons, however, have also been made with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Abba meets the Pet Shop Boys (?!), Todd Rundgren, Ben Folds Five, Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Bruce Hornsby, Talking Heads, XTC, Simon & Garfunkel, Crowded House, etc.. Get the picture? Neither do we! So what can you expect to hear on this CD? Well.... * Music for people who can't make up their minds, bless 'em. * Songs that make you go 'ping!' * The musical equivalent of Disneyland (Paris). * Music that goes up.... and down..... and up..... and stops. * Songs that go.... wiggybambamstingbucketwormhole. * Songs that go.... la la la de da da ow! Get your leg out of my mulcher.
