Many years in the making and well worth each and every one of them, Gidgets Ga Ga "The Big Bong Fiasco" has all the right blendings of all kinds of classic modern rock, alt-rock and pop stylings of the last 20 years. Redd Kross, Guided By Voices, Tommy Keene, Material Issue, Soul Asylum and The Replacements. They sweep it all under the mat and when you`re not looking, kick back out and dust up the place with their confidence. This stuff is the bomb! "Their sound is a heady mix of all that has come before and all that is yet to be. Echoes of classic British Invasion pop, Nirvana, and The Replacements can be detected, along with the bands` own take on what it takes to make a 3-minute song matter. They are about punk rock energy and timeless pop melodicism. They are new yet instantly familiar in that `this is my new favorite song` kind of way that true fans live for. They have spread their word from every major stage in Chicago and are poised to break out to the world at large. They are running on drive, heart, and a belief in their own destiny. Soon, the world may find itself destined to hear GIDGETS GAGA blasting out over the airwaves and taking their rightful place amongst the most popular acts in rock and roll." - Power Pop Overdose. "This band boils down the elements of Rock `n Roll to where its musical DNA is jumping right out of the speakers. There are no frills or over produced arrangements wrapped in fancy packages. This is the real deal when it comes to down to earth rock music that has the ability to show up on the pop charts. It has raw and realistic uncluttered sanity in the tradition of the retro hit makers. It`s Gidgets Ga Ga." - The Spotlight Zone. "are all about catchy choruses, crunchy guitar riffs and DIY energy that owe equally to 60s garage rock and 70s power pop with a bit of 90s grunge thrown in for good measure. Just listen to opening track, Bek - which is the sort of song so instantly accessible that it remains firmly implanted in your head after only one listen - and you`ll get a good idea of the band`s mission statement. That cut might be the album`s strongest, but keep listening and you`ll find much more that`s worthy of repeat plays. The galloping guitar and downright charming, Fab Four melody of Dreamer would appeal to any sucker for an old-fashioned, three-minute pop song, while Streetwalker rocks with abandon , Belmonthas a smoky, grungey allure and Hit by a Train serves up an irresistible jangle. While many other bands on the scene seem fixed on chamber pop, alt-country and indie folk, The Big Bong Fiasco is solid proof that Gidgets Ga Ga are a band determined to keep the old school Midwestern power pop of bands such as Material Issue, Cheap Trick, Pezband and Shoes alive and well." - Chicago Rock Music Examiner. If there was such a thing as Alternative Power Pop, Gidgets Ga Ga would get your Ya Ya`s right on it! You bet ya - Extremely Highly Recommended!
