  • Bio

    ........ .. FOUR FLAMINGOS .. Like so many times in rock this band got started over a few beers. Members of two Gothenburg bands decided to get together and play some rock - Four Flamingos was born. .. From the rough feel of the English pub rock to the sharp riffs reminscent of Australian punk, this band draw influences from all over and from all periods in time to come up with their somewhat retro sound. .. The Four Flamingos are heading for success and the journey starts on Bootleg Booze Records. .. Side A: Mad Evil Woman .. Side B: No Rules. Since I Met You .. First press: 2008-03-14 500 copies - 300 pink vinyl - 200 Boozersclub editions on white vinyl - A small number of copies in various colors - 5 testpressings Pressed by Musicol Recording, USA .. Releasedate: March 14, 2008 .. ........ .. .. I-94 Bar (Australia) .. Debut recording for a Swedish four-piece. The A side rocks along on the back of a guitar riff that's more jagged than the wreckage of a four-car-pile-up on a German autobahn. Lead vocalist Manne Olander has a fine set of lungs when working hard in the upper register and the twin-guitar outbursts are up to matching him.The short "No Rules" works similar hi-energy territory to devastating effect, dropping its payload and moving off before the smoke has a chance to clear. Instrumentally, it sounds a little like like early Hitmen. "Since I Met You" eases the pace back a couple of notches and shows a band with shade as well as white light heat in its armoury. Nice closer. [4/5] .. Close-Up Magazine (Sweden) .. Four Flamingos från Göteborg visar med all tydlighet att det fortfarande finns hopp för svensk garagerock, trots att genren förefaller mättad och att band som Mando Diao kategoriskt skamfilar dess rykte. På denna explosion i rosa presenteras en trippel stökig men ändå solid garage-rock'n'roll som direkt för tankarna till de uppenbara amerikanska sextiotalsklassikerna, främst 13th Floor Elevators, men likväl sneglar mot ett punkigt brittiskt och australiensiskt sjuttiotal. Det snudd på autentiska ljudet, skorrande transistorförstärkare och distortion, gör att sextiotalskänslan dominerar, men det uppkäftiga drivet i snabba "Mad evil woman" och "No rule" ekar Fun Things och Damned. Avslutningen med mellantempot i "Since I met you", känns inte lika angelägen. [6/10] Calle Granehult .. .. ................ .. .. ..........
