   About THE TAKEOVERS
It’s finally here (or coming to your attention)! This freaky little beast that be is the new Takeovers release the “Little Green Onion Man” EP. A nice mini-movie comprised of 4 songs (one from the Bad Football album—the other 3 are unreleased Robert Pollard compositions) that warmly straddles the loosey-goosey psych-pop sounds of their first album, Turn To Red as well as the white knuckled rock pomp of their second (Bad Football). From the spooky freak-beat of “Rich Man’s Girl” to the Ann Arbor beating that “Wigstomper 07” dishes out you might not want to listen to this in the dark. But it makes us happy. Also along for the drive is John Moen of Stephen Malkmus/The Decemberists, Sam Coomes of Quasi/Blues Goblins and Brian Berg of 44 Long to join the boys as they take you on a tight little visit of their twisted lop-sided tunage. It'll be pressed in a limited edition of 950 CDs and 950 copies of 7" vinyl (500 of the vinyl will be handnumbered and available only through this lovely website!) Order it now at www.offrecords.com

Yess...we all need to have MORE time for the apes!!!I thought the first takeovers was the best representation of the entire crazed-rock cosmos that is Uncle Bob for a long while.Not that I don't like Bob's other solo work post GBV..I just really love the way he and Chris have let their hair down and gone as nutty as they please on these records.Hey,I have a great title for a takeovers song....The Bionic Manatee!!!-Mickey O'
