If you happened to miss The Brodys two weekends ago at LaSalles, don't
worry. The four-piece plays Chico frequently. In the meantime, the
Davis-based band has released it's third CD, one filled with the usual
high-energy, riff-fueled goofiness. Consider the group an even
quirkier, mutated hybrid of Cheap Trick and The Ramones, yet possessed
of a distinctly modern edge. Still, fun is The Brodys' main goal, and
most of the cuts here deliver. The title track jump-starts the
proceedings with a quick, crunchy guitar riff underpinned by a gargling
wah pedal. Lead singer/guitarist/chief lyricist Tony Brody (as with The
Ramones, each member has adopted the same surname) ironically intones
on the chorus, "Sometimes it's easier to live in an unexamined life,"
seemingly opposing Socrates' old observation: "The unexamined life is
not worth living." The lyrics actually back up Socrates, however, as
the narrator unwittingly exposes what a humdrum existence he leads.
Other highlights: "Rio Linda," "Sunset Mess Around," "Doll House" and
"Next Life." So grab this CD and enjoy it until the band hits town
again.
Ripper's Notes:
Outstanding bar/pub rock with tongue planted firmly in cheek, but what
else would you expect from a band that named themselves after
everybody's favorite thalassophia suffering small town police chief.
It's a shame these guys never really got much recognition outside of
the Sacramento metro area, they really put on a great show, and their
albums never failed to match their live energy, which is exceedingly
rare (Proof provided in the form us an unlisted live bonus track).
Please, though, don't take the advice of the included review too
literally, you'd have a hard time catching the band live these days, it
was written nearly 25 years ago (ain't the internet amazing?).
And, yeah, we're gonna need a bigger boat.
If you chose to share this, or any other release, elsewhere, please
give the original ripper/uploader the respect they deserve by leaving
it intact and giving credit where credit is due.
