During my Lounge Heyday in the mid to late 1990s I hired and even sat in with Johnny Astro, and Mark Bombara and his crew of top notch musicians really have a terrific instrumental surf-lounge sound. 'Course, that was some time ago, but the 'sound' remains, as well as has progressed a bit, too. Johnny Astro rarely makes live public appearances these days, and this appearance may have something to do with a new EP appearing soon, so I'm looking forward greatly to seeing and hearing them again. I think you'll enjoy them, too! Recommended listening. http://www.myspace.com/johnnyastromusic On the Lushy front new original material has been added to the playlist, a good deal of it very dance-oriented, some vocal, some instrumental, almost circa late 1970s/early New Wave 1980s-sounding. I've played percussion for Lushy's live sets for about 5 years now, and have seen a few changes of personnel, and recently I've had the pleasure to be coupled with the rhythmic talents of Lushy's original percussionist, Brad Chodos Irvine, who plays on the Lushy recordings, and whom some of you may have seen performing live, as well. This combination of ping-pong poly-rhythmic percussive styles attributing to the talents of Andy Sodt, Annabella Kirby, and Matt Nims is not to be missed!
