MP3 The Lampshades - Surprise!

Extremely catchy indie rock/power pop with experimental moments, think Weezer meets Pavement meets Dinosaur Jr meets the Beach Boys.

12 MP3 Songs
POP: Power Pop, ROCK: Surf Rock

Details:
The Lampshades were formed in early 2003 in central Pennsylvania by lead singer/guitarist Jaren Love. Along with Love, The Lamphades consisted of drummer Josh Imler and bassist Christopher Kibler.

The Lampshades early releases included the lo-fi gems "Demo 1", "Demo 2", "Scott", "Random" and "Surf". Although these early discs were hand assembled with jewel cases, CD-Rs and handwritten liner notes, the music caught the ears of some people in the music biz, including video producer Jonathan Buchanan and Prison Jazz Records.

Scranton, PA based label, Prison Jazz Records, released The Lampshades debut album, "Sunshine" in summer, 2005.

In the fall of 2005, Scott Kessler (later of Parasol) joined as second guitarist.

After recording their second album, The Lampshades parted ways with Kessler and founding member Josh Imler. Chris Leiden soon joined on drums and Brady Lanzendorfer joined on rhythm guitar.

In July 2006 The Lampshades released their second album, "Surprise!" on their own label, Soap Bar Records.

Over the years, some rarites and unreleased songs have turned up on the internet, Including the underground hits "Matt Lunger" and the sarcastic "College Liberal Bias" as well as novelties like the endearing seasonal ep "Bundle up with The Lampshades".

More recently, The Lampshades have enjoyed increasing college radio airplay and tours of the northeast and midwest of the United States.

They plan to release a third album entitled "Are Alright" in early 2008.
