The Babalooneys
"Winternationals" b/w "False Start" single
(Hi-Tide Recordings)
The Babalooneys are often described as a "Surf instrumental" combo. But that phrase is an umbrella under which tunes (like these direct ones) more attuned to the dragstrip also enjoy inclusion. The Babalooneys' line-up features stinging, two-guitar articulations, rock-ribbed bass, and a drummer whose blinding exertions urge the party to happy delirium. Prominent throughout and lending distinctive coloration is a blaring saxophone. It commands the celebration with stentorian aplomb and distinguishes the group from peers.
