[Jim Alfredson]

Our concert last Friday night at the Creole Gallery was reviewed in this week's City Pulse.

It's organ nuttiness!

[Jim Dye]

Awesome!

Larry is a very good friend of mine. I'm glad enjoyed the gig!

[Joe G]

Larry is quickly becoming a very good friend of ours, as well!

[Chuck Nessa]

You would say that, you "dreamy mystic".

[Joe G]

How'd you know he was referring to me?

[Jim Alfredson]

Rocket scientist = nice way of saying, "You play nice, but you look like a fuckin' dork!"

I've had that said to me before.

[Chuck Nessa]

Rocket scientist = nice way of saying, "You play nice, but you look like a fuckin' dork!"

I've had that said to me before.

Wasn't me was it? I get enough bad press here. B-)

BUT you do look kinda square.

No, it wasn't you, Chuck (breathe easy!) It was a drunk guy at the Green Door Lounge here in Lansing.

What can I do to cure my square appearance? Shall I grow the obligatory soul patch or goatee?

Or should I go this route:

[connoisseur series500]

Damn, that was a good review!

Well written and funny.

(I'm gonna start calling Randy a befuddled Brian Wilson....)

How could a reviewer catch all that from just one show? I think he described you guys very well.

Can't wait to see the band live again...

What tunes did you play besides "Life Wish" and "Patterson's People?"

[Jim Alfredson]

We played all originals with the exception of a couple Ray Charles tunes, including several tunes that will be on our next record.

That's just typical again: "Joe Gloss (left) and Jim Alfredson of Organissimo (drummer Randy Marsh not pictured)."

[Big Al]

Just makes the July blackout all the more heartbreaking.....

Put out the next record already!!!

[Joe G]

ALRIGHT ALREADY!

[Chuck Nessa]

I love it when these guys from Texas are "heartbroken".

[Big Al]

[Jim Alfredson]

Al, just remember the Alamo.

[Chuck Nessa]

Al, just remember the Alamo.

You want Al to remember a really shitty rent-a-car company?

[Jim Alfredson]

No, a horrible movie that came out last summer.

[Big Al]

Hey, I avoided that movie just like everyone else did!

[wesbed]

I want to see a picture of this:

At one point, Marsh pulled out a little-used contraption Detroit drummer Roy Brooks used to call the “breathaphone” — plastic pipes through which air is sucked in and out of the drums, giving the kit the melodic capabilities of symphonic tympani. The odd spectacle of a hunched-over Marsh, tubes sticking out of his mouth as he hammered away, made the visuals even goofier, even as the music got richer and more beautiful.
