"The question which is pestering my mind in these days is the following: "What the hell is happening in Oregon?". Guys, I can assure that a great new music scene is rising up in the Beaver State... and I'm not only referring to the already mentioned Zac Nelson's madness. It's neither about DIY punk nor about local labels. I'm mostly referring to a so much fresh, hilarious and original trio that would be really capable of everything. OK, the first step is to start simple. Think of Faith No More and their ability of being "guys in disguises" into the "King For A Day" release (also, do you know how many times I wished that Trey Spruance would have listened a bit more of Ian Williams?)... or what if we'll try to dust down our Plimsouls' marvellous debut and early Redd Kross vinyl copies? Sometimes I feel so sad thinking about how many great bands have found themselves fallen into oblivion after lots of years. Who are those guys that won't restrict themselves to dry my small tears at least?
Michael Saalman, Boyd Andersson and Jon Bafus prove to be (without any doubt) the most important well-kept secrets from the actual music scenery. "Modern Florida", their enchanting debut album, is one of the greatest and most original heirs of Archers Of Loaf and Butthole Surfers' music. They're ready to make your garage band-mates turn their heads and will let your friends from the rowdy college parties change their daily soundtrack forever. Would you like to see your whole family shamefully dancin' to the rhythm of this music? Seriously!"
