"You’re definitely a garage-rock band if you record your debut album in your garage and it sounds about right. (...) Damn it's a lot of fun."
From the Bangor Daily News, 4/24/09:
"New band alert! These guys are all under the age of 20, are all ridiculously talented, and make some seriously addictive power pop. None of them is named Tony Smokes. The drummer is amazing. I have a band crush on them. Go to www.myspace.com/tonysmokesmusic and listen to them. Or better yet: Buy their album."
Well, since the Dresden Dolls also have a song called Backstabber I sometimes add "You're A" in front of it just to differentiate. We can still duel, though, especially if it's with pies. -Aubin.
Seems like you're ending you're whirlwind tour at my house for a big party on July 9th with Feel It Robot and Lady Lamb. We might play a little too. Where is everyone living right now, anyway? Anyone in Lincolnville? Can't wait to see you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey Tony Smokes - thanks for adding us to your friends list - always good meeting other bands & artists from this great state of Maine! - John Koutny & Red Cross Sky
The Station looks cool. Thanks for giving me a heads up. We played in Maine a few times. I forget where it was though. I think it was a place called Vinos? Does that ring a bell?
Thanks for your email. I just sent you a song called You Say Love. Hope you like it. It may be in your spam box.
Thanks Tony. Appreciate you taking the time to lend us your ears. What club do you recommend we play in Maine?
Would you like a free song download? It would be my pleasure to give you something from the new record. I would need your email address, if your interested.
Please feel free to help us copy and paste the STOLEN BASSES flyer into a bulletin, to get the word out that these are hot items and pressure the culprit to turn them over, even if anonymously. Musicians sacrifice a lot as it is, to then have to lose their gear... help us get these back.
