   About The Undesirables
DOGHOUSE DREAMS REVIEWED!! B Borzykowski NOW Magazine| JUNE 21 - 27, 2007 | VOL. 26 NO. 42 Reviewed this week: THE UNDESIRABLES Doghouse Dreams (independent) Rating: NNNN There are intimate records, and then there's Doghouse Dreams by Georgetown, Ontario, duo the Undesirables. Sean Cotton and Corin Raymond have since moved to Toronto, but this stripped-down disc sounds like it was recorded right on their rural Canadian porch. Combining blues, ragtime and country with touching lyrics about their hometown, this disc is a great summer cottage listen – especially the boozy opener This Town. While the gritty, Kid Rock-like choruses and infectious harmonies are worth a listen alone, it's the warm production – it sounds like they're playing right in front of you – and simple arrangements that make this a memorable listen. The Undesirables play Hugh's Room June 23.

Oh, I'll definitely be coming to see you in Australia next year! If you're in Fremantle area next year, give me a buzz. I wouldn't mind some free singing and/or guitar lessons, Ehh, Ehhh?! Aha. Have a good one.

PS. I'll be donating some money towards that new cd of yours. I wish I could give you guys 10 grand, but I don't exactly have a job, so I'll only be able to donate about $15-30. Hopefully I win the lottery!

PPS. Watched the youtube vids of the tour, great job!
Alex

It's a shame I missed seeing you two play in Australia. Can't wait for next year, hopefully you'll come tour again!

Keep up the good work and always strive to do your best!

I saw the sublime David Ross MacDonald play at the Wheaty here in Adelaide on Sunday, which was wonderful, naturally, but left me feeling a little undesirably sick. Australia adores you, lads. xx

You guys rock my unmatching socks.

The end.

Cheers

Thanks so much man! I was on acid. CL

*laughs* One can never have too many friends show up at a gig! Unless you're the Stones and you've hired bikers... then I can see it being a wee problem.
Thanks so much for the add, Corin!

All the best,

Piper

I can hear the slinkies...I thought they were shakers but they've got a metallic ring to them on second (or 10th!) listen. I wanted to add yesterday that I love the fact that I can hear the birds in the background on 'good news' - who needs a studio? I'll have a listen to the new one in a sec...I need to reboot - everythings's crashing around me.

Apr 26 2009 5:30 PM

I seem to be getting obssessed with your songs...I just love what I'm hearing. Since I bought the CD at pinakarri the other night I noticed that there was a bass and snare on 'bus stop walk'. I noted that the only drum I saw on stage was a single snare. Then I thought and realised that the reason you only need a snare is because the bass is taking the role of the kick, and it's not being overplayed either, so it sits in that groove nicely. I was also thinking what great lyrics they are - really musical, but at the same time really telling the story, painting pictures and so on. It's so rare to hear writing like that in songs. It's like I'm reading a page in a novel. I love to hear your first musical. You must be just about done in WA. It was a pleasure to meet you, and have a safe trip home.
Dan Lyons





Apr 26 2009 5:30 PM

Have a great trip home boys. Was a pleasure to hang out again and take in your shows. Be hearing from you soon about next years tour de force...and bring that Byrd with ya. The Law and The Lonesome is almost burnt through...may the river run dry if I lie to you.

Vaya Con Dios.

"The Names Have Been Changed" is nicely dark.
Thanks for the add!

Robert Sturgess





Apr 21 2009 5:47 PM

I'd really appreciate your feedback on my tunes - which one you like best would be great.
I'm hoping to come and see you play again at Pinakarri tomorrow - I've had your tunes in my head all day!
Robert Sturgess





Apr 21 2009 7:50 AM

Thanks for the friendship - I'm so glad I found you! "Good news" is beautiful - a really touching performance in loft at Fairbridge too. I love 'bus stop walk' too - especially the phrase 'ankle express'.
I really hope you become rich and famous!

'This Town' is so badass. It makes me make a face like I smell something funky and dance like a cat burglar facing off with a fighting rooster.

Love the new tune. Sweet picking, Sean.

"I myself have been / the wire & the bird" --that's a whole lot in a few words.

I continue to run into hearts warmed along your way. Happy trails, gents.

“Without exaggeration Black Across The Field is as good as anything I’ve heard this year. Growling with warm tube overdrive, stinging like Neil Young… this is a diverse, profound album, with nuances subtle and breathtaking” (Rhythms Magazine)
