Review from the BEES KNEES #17
the Go-Go Music Show...(Bi-Fi Records)
A pleasant mix of They Might Be Giants doing Brian Wilson songs with the Elephant 6 Orchestra as a backing band will have you scratching your head as why not everyone doesn't know of these guys yet. An 11 piece psych-pop band from Ames, IA who dabbles in garage, pop, surf, psychedelic, and new-wave it's sometimes hard to know where they are coming from, but the cd is enjoyable to the end. It reads as though you think you are getting 30 songs, but 12 or them are small radio spots in between songs, much like the narration in between the songs in the last Princeton Reverbs Colonial record. A good start, and I hope to hear more and more of them in the years to come. by Mike Turner
SCRAM MAGAZINE #15
The Poison Control Center - The Go-Go Music Show (Bi-Fi)
Delirious high-Concept package with the least convincing British accents this side of Bangers and Mash introducing PCC's thrashily inventive bubblegum-pop. The eleven-piece band makes sure you get all the basic indie pop food groups, enhanced by electronic trickery, cooing girls, string and horn section, and ofcourse, musical saw.
The Drummer
Bedtime for the Little Kids 8-song mini album (Bi-Fi Records)
Pop so innocent and care-free, you swear it was 1964 all over again. Comparible to the Beatles, the Kinks, and Phil Spector.. Best song "Be My Baby"
