Band MembersDwight C. Eisenhower, Beauregard Goldwater III, Otis T. Nixon, J. Clancy Reagan and Thadius Driftwood-Bush.
InfluencesThere is a long list of artists we like: Elvis Costello, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Aimee Mann, Radiohead, Lyle Lovett, Joni Mitchell, ELO, Crowded House, REM, Steely Dan, Alison Moorer, The Kinks, Roxy Music, XTC, Nik Kershaw, Justin Currie, Jellyfish, Hank Williams, Squeeze, kd lang, Stevie Wonder, Jimmy Webb and anyone else who thinks that 'moon' doesn't necessarily have to rhyme with 'sausage'.
Sounds LikeElvis Costello suffers a massive blow to the head. When he wakes up in hospital, he finds that he is living in an 'alternative' reality in which he is a former member of Jellyfish who is trying to write a novel about a delusional guy who thinks he might be living inside the head of someone playing in an XTC tribute band.

   About The Eisenhowers
  
The Eisenhowers is not so much a band, more a loose collection of people making a noise with musical instruments. Their music has been compared to the likes of Aimee Mann, Elvis Costello, Ben Folds, Crowded House and Steely Dan. The 2006 debut album 'Almost half-undressed' featured -according to most experts- a whole bunch of literate, punchy and thoughtful songs about sex, celebrity, love, money, parenthood and serial killers. The newly-released second album ‘Film your own atrocities’ keeps the laughs coming, with songs about betrayal, cynicism, stupidity, financial impropriety and psycho-sexual trauma. All members of The Eisenhowers collective are politically aware and very much focused on the important issues of the day. When they are not spending their hard-earned royalties on girlie magazines and alcohol, the musicians like to watch daytime TV and read celebrity gossip rags, pausing only to binge on ice cream and make the occasional crank call to the emergency services.

It was my pleasure to play "Janine" on my weekly, 30-minute podcast featuring mainstream, independent music. The direct link to the show is: http://indiemusicsampler.com/2009/03/20/ims-125/

In a few days, the song will also be added to the music stream which plays out some of the best in independent music commercial-free 24x7.

Cheers,

Paying one of many return visits here, but am now trading as a connoisseur what with now being the proud owner of "Film Your Own Atrocities". Must say, I thought Ben & Jason and Ben Folds had used up all the remaining good tunes in the world... but I was wrong. Hearing this kind of joyous pop takes me back to the first times I heard XTC's Orange & Lemons and Jellyfish's Bellybutton! Well impressed and love it all to bits, especially Gathering Dust, Reign Of The Stupid and 1969.

Someone who's tapping into a similar vein of pure pop is Duncan Roberts of Dictafone.
Similar levels of Finnesque artistry, with a bit of Divine Comedy where you might be more Squeeze and Costello-like. I reckon you'd enjoy him/them.

I would go on but mustn't outstay my welcome!... A pleasure doing business with you and hope to see you live somehow sometime somewhere. To paraphrase that old 1980s slogan, life sounds better to the Eisenhowers!...
