Before releasing the highly acclaimed Quags "Out In The Community" CD on Paisley Pop, leader Dennis Mitchell kicked around between Tucson, Arizona and the Pacific Northwest, sometimes leading The Wilsons, and other times with another combo called The Bremen Town Musicians. Recorded in 1997 with Larry Crane (Sleater-Kinney, Elliot Smith, Go-Betweens, Crack City Rockers), "Quagmire Expedition" shows Mitchell`s new wave roots with songs that bring to mind early Style Council, XTC, and Elvis Costello. "The Bremen Town Musicians conjure rich pop melodies and textures that make them sound like seasoned pros."-Willamette Week. "an ironic romantic sense of wordplay, a keenly inventive guitar style & knack for melodies whose hooks sink in deep"- Magnet. "Heavily influenced by classic Britpop, especially the angular guitar work of XTC and the lush, pastoral melodies of the Kinks."- Tuscon Weekly.
