MP3 Tadpoles - Smoke Ghost

Psychedelic pop-rock that combines classic influences with modern sensibilities. A fine tea brewed with equal parts Flaming Lips, Spacemen 3, Butthole Surfers and Syd Barrett.

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.

The third studio album from Hoboken, NJ''s psychedelic rockers Tadpoles. Produced by Kramer (Shimmy Disc/Bongwater.)

SMOKE GHOST REVIEWS:

Crohinga Well, Issue#15, May 1999, Belgium
"They have succeeded yet again in producing a very convincing psychedelic beauty full of hazy, magic rock sounds, journeys through space, adventures in Syd Barrett''s garden and zonked atmospheres, a perfect balance between tripped-out vibes and immaculate acoustics...Recommended."

All Music Guide
Tadpoles modern psychedelia is hard driving and intense, swirling and visceral. Since the release of the first Tadpoles album "He Fell From The Sky" and its aptly titled follow-up "Far Out", the band has come into its own distinctive sound and style...
