notes
El Patapsco play instrumental music influenced by surf, spaghetti westerns, rockabilly, and sixties garage. These 12 songs were recorded by Tanuj Kundi in Elkridge, MD in 2005.
Sound-wise, we are probably close to Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, Man or Astroman, or Pell Mell, but not really.
We have been around a few years now and this is our first official release.

Here's a recent review of one our shows from 4/1/06 at Otto's Shrunken Head in NYC (pasted in from Yahoo's NESMA group):
"Next up was a band up from Baltimore, just for our viewing pleasure and it was aural pleasure too. El Patapsco is a unique 5 piece ensemble. What I noticed was 3 unusual choices in instruments:lovely Becky on a Roland Organ, Marc on a hollow body Gibson, and Mike on a hollow body Rickenbacker. There wasn't much reverb from the guitars, the organ provided the reverb instead. This trio was backed up by the rock solid rhythm section of Ted on bass and Mark on drums. This was my first time hearing El Patapsco, but I believe almost the entire set was originals, with one vocal, She's About A Mover (Sir Douglas Quintet), sung by Ted (bass). A nice surprise and the crowd really enjoyed it. Many of the songs such as The Rattler, Huevos Sowebos had a spaghetti twang with an emphasized on good interplay between the guitars and organ. Yamanote Line had slower poppy sound, almost like a love song. Wish I had a web site to give you, maybe next time."

author: George RaleyEchoes surf and background music from old detective shows. it took me back to Jan and Dean and old black and white shows. Enjoyed it very much even if I'm Marc's Dad. I found the CD in his brother's apartment, listened to it then ordered it. I keep it in the car for cruisiung listening.
