It’s Friday… feeling a bit swamped by other events and been a bit too busy to write the update I wanted to write…<\/p>\n
So… I figured it’s time to share a LOUIE of the Week… or every other other week.. or something like that …<\/p>\n
To quote another, let’s give it to ’em… right now..<\/p>\n
Here’s a very special LOUIE shared online by Green Monkey Records<\/strong> of Olympia, Washington.<\/p>\n Ladies, and gentlemen, I present to you…Tom Dyer’s New Pagan Gods<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Here’s some quick reviews shared on the Green Monkey Records site<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201c(Tom) Dyer, a 35-year local rock stalwart and head cheese at local indie label Green Monkey Records, dips into the well of first-wave Northwest rock and roll. The result is the joyous audio equivalent of the best sloppy-drunk sweaty house party you ever crashed. Like any good band rocking a house party, Dyer and his bandmates play with grittily fun-loving chemistry, and that\u2019s what makes this ragged little record sing.\u201d Tony Kay<\/strong> \u2013 The Sun Break<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cLouie Louie, in Dyer\u2019s hands takes not only a huge left turn but an unplanned detour down an alley, across the freeway, and off into the hinterlands, so unique is the arrangement \u2026 he set out to capture the DIY spirit and the maverick vibe that the songs\u2019 creators represented. Methinks he succeeded.\u201d Fred Mills<\/strong> \u2013 BLURT <\/p><\/blockquote>\n You can hear and order Tom’s version of LOUIE LOUIE by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Purchase of the album includes unlimited streaming of History of Northwest Rock Vol. 1 (1959-1968) via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.<\/p>\n
