notes
"It isn't easy to be Fancy Trash. It's not supposed to be. The twang-rock band based here has chosen to take on two of rock's most difficult challenges: performing as a trio and playing energetic, often edgy music on acoustic instruments... Most bands would wisely avoid this combination of hurdles. Fancy Trash embraces it. With its semicountrified, punk-influenced music that recalls Neil Young, Clem Snide, the Flaming Lips, and an assortment of '90s alternarock bands (from Nirvana to early Radiohead), the group doesn't simply pull off acoustic trio rock, it makes it seem natural. The band's live sets drip with energy. Its songs turn on delicate guitar picking and furious strumming by turns. And its members, guitarist-singer Dave Houghton, uphright bassist Josh Thayer, and drummer Ben Laine, perform with a seemingly innate understanding of when to rush forward and when to pull back." - The Boston Globe
"Their self-titled debut CD showcases tuneful melodies sung over aggressive acoustic strumming, doghouse bass, and dashes of dobro, harmonica and synthesizer." - The Village Voice.
"Featuring mostly guitar, upright bass, drums, and a smattering of slide guitar and mandolin, Fancy Trash has taken on an underrepresented genre in contemporary independent music and made something truly unique." - Northeast Performer
"Houghton's songwriting is skillful, thoughtful and inspired." - The Valley Advocate

These guys are great. I can't wait for the new album. I definitely suggest that you check out their website and try and get to a show. You won't regret it.
The three members of Fancy Trash are so much on the same page, it's almost scary
