I always Spotify an album before buying, and here's a few quick thoughts from my initial Spotify listen:

-Standout tracks are Kitty Hawk, Star of the Beach, Don't Say It's Over, and the Airborne bookends (excluding the cheesy dialog).  I really like the vocal blend in the Airborne tracks.

-Don't' care much (yet) for Shrewd Awakening, Tonga Hut, or Jericho

-Audio quality and volume vary by track on Spotify, with a tinny sound overall.  Jericho sounds like a copy of a copy of a cassette tape.  Hope the actual CD and iTunes tracks sound better.

Overall feel of the album is bright, California-y (in the kitschy sense).  Honestly, it reminds me of the playlist looped at the food court at SeaWorld San Diego.  That's not an insult (I dig that loop).  Seems like they were going for that sound.  I think I've read somewhere that there's a reason for the campy dialog and cliche theme song.  Whatever it is, I haven't clued in yet.  If you're looking for a BB channeler, stick with Explorers Club.  All that said, I dig this album.

No.  I felt, that because I was promoting the CD it should come from me directly. I will still post ESQ related items accordingly.

Here's the music video for "Shrewd Awakening;" track #7 on the new Bamboo Trading Company CD, and it stars Dean, Katie & Jillian Torrence, Gary & Elizabeth Griffin and actor Bruce Davison (who portrayed Torrence in 1978's "Deadman's Curve" TV movie).

We did not say, Hey, let's go for that Sea World sound."  Buy the physical CD, pop it in your CD player in your car, head down the highway on a sunny day… And crank that sucker up!!!  Once you've done this let me know what you think.

Will a highway along the Great Salt Lake in Utah do?  I don't buy new albums on CD any more; iTunes files are usually good enough for my ears (sacrilege, I know).  I've been playing the album in the car for a few weeks now and my opinion remains the same as my initial take.  I really don't care for Shrewd Awakening, Tonga Hut, or Jericho.  They seem out of place.  I do quite enjoy the rest of the record, though-- SeaWorld sound and all!

I laughed out loud when John Schneider all of a sudden pops up in the "Shrewd Awakening" video. So random. Cheesy How did that come about?


I'm a big fan of his (he's really a great guy). I finally got to meet him a couple of months ago. Smiley





P.S. Cool thing that all those tracks of yours are up on last.fm 3D

P.P.S. I see John Schneider starred in the movie in which the song was supposed to be featured - so that's the connection. Smiley

David and Gary talk (and laugh) as they unfold the story how this band of brothers came together to produce a new musical experience. They discuss the influence of the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean, the Surf City All Stars, the humor of Dean Torrence. The CD and this conversation will transport you to the beauty and the beaches of southern California.
