MP3 Tadpoles - Whirlaway
10 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Psychedelic, ROCK: Extended Jams
Details:
Tadpoles, based in Hoboken, NJ, disbanded in 2000 after releasing 4 critically acclaimed studio albums, 1 live album and 1 E.P. all on their own Bakery Records label (except for their last studio album, Whirlaway, which was released on Australia''s Camera Obscura Records.) The group was formed by vocalist/guitarist, Todd Parker and original drummer, Michael Kite Audino in New York City in 1990.
Members of the New York group, HIT, bassist David Max & guitarist/vocalist Nick Kramer joined in 1992 and Adam Boyette became the full time drummer in 1996.
Career highlights include a four-star review in Rolling Stone magazine (May 1996) for their second studio album, Far Out, which like all of their studio albums (except Whirlaway) was produced by Shimmy Disc/Bongwater mogul, Kramer.
The group was also featured in the first Terrastock festival in Providence, Rhode Island in 1997 and their performance was captured on their live album "Destroy Terrastock-Live." Although Tadpoles rarely performed live, their shows were always a multi-media sensory overload experience with films, videos, strobe lights, and other homemade visual effects.
The band toured the West Coast in 1997 with Boston''s Cul de Sac and Windy & Carl (as well as the late legendary John Fahey on one date.) Since Tadpoles disbanded, David, Nick & Adam have reformed HIT and Todd Parker continues to operate Bakery Records in Hoboken.

WHIRLAWAY Reviews:
Whirlaway best Tadpoles yet!, June 18, 2000
Reviewer: George Thomas Parsons from Nevada City, California
Tadpoles Whirlaway (Camera Obscura) This Hoboken 4-piece do the guitar, bass, drums thing, but also add xylophone, ebow, organ and plenty of tastefully employed effects. This is their 4th full-length album, and it shows several of their winning aspects; from soaring space rock to the bucolic folk pop of their Dylan cover You Ain''t Goin'' Nowhere. They can hit like a flying anvil or float like they''ve got helium in their bones, but never without a sense of muscular momentum and interplay. Overall it''s a fine intelligent branch of new century stoner rock''s ever expanding family tree, the tundra crunching extraterrestial Smile if You''ve Crossed Over is a different version than the one presented on Urban Meadows (The Broken Face benefit album), so you''re obviously gonna need both. The over 13 minute Horse and Buggy that closes this set is one of the more adventurous, indulgent, noisy and rewarding things here.
