EUGENE WEEKLY's REVIEW OF ALPHA DAHLIA'S CD "MINDWARP'>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
In Full Bloom
There aren’t a lot of bands that can get my husband’s hips shakin’. Being from a staid Midwestern family, his dancing bones are mostly fused together; picture Vulcan dancing in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. So when he started grooving to the opening strains of “Bad Tattoo” from Alpha Dahlia’s new CD Mind Warp, I knew it was something special. Even more so because when I pointed out that he was boppin’ like a teenager, he didn’t remember doing it. The music by this Eugene band has that kind of infectiousness; it seeps into your head when you don’t realize it and takes control.
“Bad Tattoo” starts out with pop genius reminiscent of the Young Fresh Fellows. It’s even shiny on the surface but with a cutting humor like so many of the Fellows’ songs: there’s something about waking up in the morning with a bad tattoo, and having no class ‘cause a bastard’s name is tattooed on your ass. It’s probably a topic that shouldn’t be a danceable ditty, but singer Sassy O and her backing threesome of Joe Pettit Jr., Michael Fuchs and Shawn Notdurft pull it off with style.
The pop vein they’re mining runs deep throughout the rest of the album’s 15 tracks. “Cranford’s Car” boasts a short-but-sweet fuzzy rock-god guitar line. That’s followed by a 16-second experiment, then the rest of the album conveys a little bit of surf rock, a little bit of ’60s pop, a little bit of ’70s glam and a lot of devil-may-care optimism. Alpha Dahlia, Tom Heinl and Hot For Chocolate play at 9 pm Saturday, Sept. 5, at Sam Bond’s Garage. 21+. $5. — Vanessa Salvia
I am officially an Engineer in a recording studio now! The studio is located in Eugene. If, in the course of your travels, you should happen to come upon a stranger in need of economically viable recording services in Oregon, send such a person my way. I don't care if it is a Demo, EP, Single, Press Kit, or full-length Album. I will record any music on any budget. In the event that I make a profit, it will go directly into building my own mobile studio. So if you know anybody, or if you are anybody, give me a call. Jesse (541)579-1569
