(c) 2007 The Cartridge Family. Squaretiles Music (BMI).
The Cartridge Family's Shine Like a Bottle takes you back to a time when
hyphens had not yet been invented, an era when a description as
straightforward as "rock and roll" would suffice. Here's what you don't get
with Shine Like a Bottle: A whole lot of frills. Here's what you do get:
Guitars that could never be accused of being shy. Sneaky hooks. Keyboards
with the same personality as the guitars. Echoes of the Faces and Blonde on
Blonde and rock bands that like country music but don't feel like they have
to prove it and a dozen other things that represent what's always been good
in the music world. My favorite song this week (and because I don't know the
title, let's call it Track 7 for short. Or maybe Track 11). Rock.
Roll....This is a band that works hard and plays hard. And because of that,
Shine Like a Bottle, like the Cartridge Family, is serious fun.
Is there a 2nd Stephen Gardner that I don't know about? Will he be filling in for the Ts on Thursday? Can I live in a world with TWO Stephen Gardners? What would that world be like?
Sorry I can't make it to NYC, Greg. I'm going to the mountains early Sat. morning. I was going to ask you if you wanted to go to the French Kicks at Local 506 this Friday. Damn.
Greg. What a kickass dude. You can tell he's a genius by his hair. Heavily influenced by Terry from NRBQ without actually being influenced by him SBBS(Rob)
..................Carry On Wayward Son Ten-year-old girl rocks out on the Kansas classic on the keyboards. Give her 50 seconds to tear it up.............
Y'all need to kick Greg out of the band and hire this girl.

Thanks! I just bought it online. The photo below that Mike took is unreal - wow! You gotta make that one your profile pic. It's rare to capture a great live shot of the entire band.
