Pat Capocci

Echoes from the Asphalt Jungle   vinyl or CD 

(Sleazy Records)



Mr. Capocci evinces offhand vocal trenchancy and plank hip-dipping, all in the service of Bopification. The world already knows as much. (Straight from the fridge.) But the conclusion that fresh waxings from him aren't, then, of pressing interest is a far piece from this truth: digging his every new disc is of most-ut imperativeness.

(Also scissors-operator of Harbord Road barbering emporium Flying Tiger, Pat has tonsorial adeptitude in common with Rockat Smutty Smith and Hillbilly Casino's Nic R.) 

Recommended: "Lucia," "Day by Day," "Barnitos Bounce," "Trance," "The Puzzle," "Enzos Outing"

Videos: "Day by Day"   "Trance"   "The Puzzle"

The Strike-Outs

Double Negative

(Evil Tone Records)




The cover's 2 pack symbolizes brothers Simon and Adam Vine, thrashing down-under inciters who don't need no stinkin' bass. The two collude to amass enough violent ear-cuffery to plunge both sides of the Brisbane into blackness.

Recommended: "Johnny," "Another Way," "Watching the Clock,"   "No. 2," "Dunno," "Starting Over," "Towards the Sun"

Videos: "Johnny"   "Watching the Clock" (Official video)   "Towards the Sun"

The Western Distributors

"Chasing Chickens" "Let the Compass Decide"  digital tracks

(Self-issued)




Stringin' instruments' clod-kickin', of the sort that lit many barndances, shivarees, and town-limits joints in fondly recalled eras. Swing-yer-partner inspiration spry-foots from each plucked passage. Refreshingly plain reels high-step athwart straw-strewn hardwood, raising up a hoo-rah the likes of which city folks can't touch.
