THE BAND: You might be saying to yourself, "good men and women are giving their lives for your right to listen to The Ron Titter Band"... and you'd be right. God damn it, this is America and you are entitled to enjoy anything you like. If you love honest, fun, catchy, and care-free music about all things amusing, aggravating, and meaningful, then you need to slip out of your skivvies, and into a warm set of The Ron Titter Band.
With songs ranging from upbeat tongue-in-cheek odes to tangential tirades to more seriously-minded fare via titles like "If You Get With God (You Can't Get With Me)," “It’s You & Me (Or the Whole World Dies),” “Sock Wearin’ Man,” and “God’s Fault,” RTB seeks to cover a plethora of musical bases with a heavy-handed one-two punch of sheer exuberance.
Lead vocalist Greg Beets (The Peenbeets, Summer Breeze, Noodle, Cheezus), bassist Reed Burnam (Lightning Over Water, The Rockenstein Collective, Kaballah Bomb), drummer Joel Fried (The Peenbeets, The Deep Sombreros), Andy Loomis (The Gretchen Phillips Experience, Thor, Craig Ross, and Meg Hentges), and David Wyatt a.k.a. Stinky del Negro (Solid Gold 40, Summer Breeze, Soul People) whip up savory blend of spicy and timely social commentary, sensual introspective pieces, and rollicking bar-room numbers guaranteed to help you score if you get up off your ass and jiggle your junk.
Luke Lukas is back with an album full of that gleeful gloom that made us love him at first sight. His trustworthy 4-tracks and him go their separate ways so he's now presenting 12 perfectly arranged folk songs to us. Luke reveals himself as a kind soul, but like the western movies taught us, a dreadful killer always hides under every placid looking Texan.
"Leaving his strongly lo-fi sound that impressed us the first time, he treasures the recipe, packing in this new plain, delightful work a caring love for vocals, which are worthy of Neutral Milk hotel, with a touch of Chordettes feel."Daniele Dileo - Lab Magazine
