"The swinging sixties had a lot to do with cocktails and go-go girls, tiki bars and swingers, but the era had a darker, seamier side that rarely scored equal play time during lounge music's happy-go-lucky revival ten years ago. -- the sinister, shadowy forms moving through the darkness of the jungle beyond Martin Denny's quiet village --Clouseaux may well be the first band since Combustible Edison to break through lounge music's wall of superficial goofiness. Snag a copy of Lagoon, pull the old smoking jacket/cocktail dress (hey, whatever gets you off) out of the closet and mix yourself a big drink -- whatever you had planned for the evening, you'll get more adventure, excitement and whacked-out hallucinogenic craziness from Clouseaux than you ever would from Radiohead or Death Cab. And it's dark stuff -- very dark. - George Zahora Splendid Magazine
"The Sophisticated Misfit" is a long-awaited must-have for fans of Shag and Tiki fan alike. The 65 minute documentary traces the artist's roots growing up in Hawaii, his artistic journey in college, his early work designing album covers, to his modern day role as an art-world phenom. In addition to exclusive footage of Shag painting in his home studio, the film features intimate interviews with the artist, his family, artistic influences, tiki-files, celebrity collectors and fans.
Special features include a demonstration by Shag's silk-screener of the creation of the "Well Hung" print, and a tour of fellow Orange County artist and Shag collaborator Paul Frank's workshop. With a soundtrack featuring the music of the Dynatones, Clouseaux, and Shag's former band, the Tiki Tones, "The Sophisticated Misfit" would be a welcome addition to every Shag fan's collection.

ITA:
"Il mito è uno strumento di trasposizione della realtà, il mito e' spiegazione di un rito, di un atto formale che corrisponde a esigenze della tribù, il mito e' struttura delle credenze di un gruppo. Oggi il mito si evolve, muta, divenendo icona, icona commerciale, sexy e nello stesso tempo divoratrice di uomini, plasmatrice di luoghi comuni del pensiero. Nell'ultimo decennio l'arte si beffa della socio-cultura attraverso la raffigurazione delle nuove icone. La scelta e il richiamo ai "super-eroi", il mito antico letto attraverso la chiave moderna degli ultimi 50 anni, non deriva da un fattore estetico bensì dalla volontà di rappresentazione della vacuità dello status symbol. Una iconografia lasciva, lussuriosa, audace si abbraccia agli eroi attuali generando lo scontro etico tra il mito classico e contemporaneo."

"Mith is a tool to translate reality, mith is the explanation of a ritual-a formal way to express tribe needs-mith is a structure from the believings of the group. Nowadays mith is evolving, changes, becames an icon, a commercial icon, sensual and "man-eater", molding common ideas and archetypes.In the last decades art mokes on social and culture through the representation of new icons. The idea of evoking superheroes-ancient mith through the modern view of the last 50 years-is not taken from an aestethic reason, is derived from the willing of represent
Just wanted you and your friends to know that I've used your killer track "Copper Locked Nymph" as the theme for all 17 episodes of a new podcast called "The Theater of the Midnight Sun," which can be heard or downloaded for free at www.theaterofthemidnightsun.com or at iTunes.
"Theater of the Midnight Sun" is a collection of full-cast audiodramas (little radio plays) comprised of original stories of adventure, mystery, science fiction, fantasy, and humor for lovers of radio theater, as well as literature.
Other wonderful Clouseaux tunes have been used as incidental music for some of the show's stories as well – such as "Big Business" about an unusual (and humorous) deal with the Devil; and most especially "Left Field," a tale about an irresponsible playboy who gets involved in a relationship he could’ve never imagined.
Everyone's invited! And feel free to spread the word to everyone you know!
Keep on with the wonderful tunes! There's something downright dangerous about your music :)
