notes

Bridget Kearney: So, guys, they want us to put something up on the site that describes our music. We need to write a paragraph or something.
Mike Calabrese: Well tell them to go $%*# themselves.
Rachael Price: No, no sillypants. Don't tell them that. Just say that we like snacks and we wear sweatpants.
Mike Olson: Rachael, that's your answer for everything.
RP: Only truth on the stage here tonight, Michael. Only truth on the stage.
MO: Word. What have you got so far, Bridget?
BK: "The long awaited debut from Boston's Best Looking Free Country/Indie Cabaret Quartet."
MC: We're not a free country band!
MO: Stop saying that! What do you keep saying that for?
BK: We are a free country band!
RP: We don't have any country songs!
BK: What about A Cowgirl Lovesong?
MO: You only wrote that song so you could keep calling us a free country band!
MC: And there's no free parts in that song.
BK: Fine, I'll erase it. Now we have nothing. Awesome.
MO: Why don't you tell them about the Lennon award?
BK: Don't you think that's lame--starting with your own accolades?
RP: No, that's okay. People should know about it.
BK: Okay, how about, "Upon receiving her generous prize from the John Lennon Songwriting Competition for her 2005 hit 'Sometimes When I'm Drunk and You're Wearing My Favorite Shirt' Bridget's first instinct was to blow the cash on liquor and clothes. Instead she recorded this full length album with her silly band.'"
MO: Too intellectual. Try telling them how the band started.
RP: How did we start?
MC: WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!
MO: I created this band. I gave you life.
BK: Okay, let's keep this simple and just say what instruments we all play.
MO: Don't forget to include that I take an ill guitar solo.
MC: Don't forget my sick background vocals.
MO: We are geniuses of modern music.
RP: Only truth on the stage here people. Only truth on the stage.
BK: lakestreetdive.com, people. Check us out on the web.
MC: Let's just tell them the CD will make them believe in love again and get the hell out of here.
MO: Word.
RP: Who wants gluten-free ice cream?!

  • God bless these crazy kids
    author: TA Thompson

    What's not to like about this talented, off-kilter collective? My girlfriend's niece introduced us to Lake Street Dive and they've rarely left our CD player. Clever songwriting and a charming sound make these guys my new favourite group.

  • Amazing!
    author: Justin

    I love this CD. I bought it yesterday after I saw their show. Definitly something you want!

  • This album deserves a listen - unique, refreshing & creative!
    author: Armando

    This band is like nothing else I have recently heard. The album is refreshing & really shows the band's personality. It doesn't have that redundant, overly-produced quality that makes so many bands all sound the same. The writing is creative, witty and they are all great musicians. Definitely worth a listen!

  • Great vocals, great instrumentals, and lots of variety
    author: Katherine

    It's amazing how many genres of music Lake Street Dive packs into 12 tracks. Every song sounds different, and they're all great; well-written with killer lead vocals and impressive instrumentals.
