http://www.notlame.com/CDFATHERBLOOPY1.htmlFATHER BLOOPY - Ginger, Baby I can`t get this one out of the player the last two weeks. It`s wacky but good and accessible `wacky. Think early 70s Bowie, Lou Reed, Flaming Lips, Beck and lots and lots of Ray Davies, bless the boy! Self-described diehards and collectors of early 60s and 70s art-rock, Father Bloopy`s first album pays homage to a variety of obvious influences, including The Kinks, Lou Reed, and ELO, but they add a unique flair and a modern twist to the mix that is edgy and invigorating. Clever as hell from start to finish, Ginger, Baby is filled with wry, witty lyrics that will please fans of smart-pop in addition to those who feast on catchy melodies and creative production. > "Father Bloopy is built around the voice and songs of Roger Houdaille who brightly echoes folks like Ray Davies, David Bowie, and Lou Reed in a rare good mood. Lots of folks are apeing the better 60s and 70s bands these days but few are pulling it off with the aplomb and energetic invention of the relentlessly upbeat Father Bloopy. Brightly catchy songs loaded with hooks, and pleasant surprises. A dozen tracks overflowing with dynamic pop power and good vibes." - Dream Magazine. <p "a slice of modern indie rock that lets their influences like The Kinks, Lou Reed and even ELO shine through on many of the twelve tracks, giving the album a true sense of familiarity even though the band flies under the radar of most. The group is lead by singer/songwriter Roger Houdaille, which has been on the Miami scene for years releasing solo EPs. These previous recordings lead up to the release of Ginger, Baby which follows suit of his earlier offerings containing focused and concise tracks of witty lyrics and pop sensibilities. Houdaille has the swagger and croon of a young Jonathan Richman, which gives each track a likable quality and makes repeat listens rewarding. You might get scared off from the bands name itself but once you get by the somewhat awkward naming the music on Ginger, Baby will win itself a spot in your rotation because of its modern yet classic groove of indie rock that can stand beside some of the more familiar artists in the genre." The Big Takeover. "Miami Beach may be famous for many things ���� celebrity cachet, club chic, thongs, and a dearth of parking spaces. But it`s generally not known for birthing rock stars. So when singer/guitarist/songwriter Roger Houdaille proclaims himself a Miami Beach homeboy, it doesn`t necessarily affirm his credibility or credentials. Then again, dubbing his band Father Bloopy isn`t exactly winning him points either. Houdaille`s mix of swoon and croon finds him approximating an unlikely collision between Ray Davies and Devendra Banhart, a quirky combination that finds a surprisingly good fit with the densely textured m�©lange. "Miss Morality" suggests they`ve worn out the grooves on their ELO and Supertramp albums, but the retro references mesh seamlessly with their modern sensibilities. Be assured, the silly name is Father Bloopy`s only blooper." - Miami New Times. One of a kind and VERY Highly Recommended! <p> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdfatherbloopy103.mp3"><img src="http://www.notlame.com/images/ear.jpg" width="20" border=0 alt="power pop, independent music"></a> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdfatherbloopy103.mp3">Song #1</a> - mp3</p> <p><p> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdfatherbloopy105.mp3"><img src="http://www.notlame.com/images/ear.jpg" width="20" border=0 alt="power pop, independent music"></a> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdfatherbloopy105.mp3">Song #2</a> - mp3</p> <p><p> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdfatherbloopy107.mp3"><img src="http://www.notlame.com/images/ear.jpg" width="20" border=0 alt="power pop, independent music"></a> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdfatherbloopy107.mp3">Song #3</a> - mp3</p> <p><p> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdfatherbloopy104.mp3"><img src="http://www.notlame.com/images/ear.jpg" width="20" border=0 alt="power pop, independent music"></a> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdfatherbloopy104.mp3">Song #4</a> - mp3</p> <p><p> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdfatherbloopy102.mp3"><img src="http://www.notlame.com/images/ear.jpg" width="20" border=0 alt="power pop, independent music"></a> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds08/cdfatherbloopy102.mp3">Song #5</a> - mp3</p> <p>http://www.notlame.com/FATHER_BLOOPY/Page_1/CDFATHERBLOOPY1.html
