oldblue Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 The Redwalls are from Chicago, and website is www.theredwalls.com. Their album "deNova" is pretty good, but they are better in concert than the recorded output would indicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarBabi7 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Well darn, went to the sight to have a looksee and it's currently under construction, but thanks for the info, I'll check back there again later. After all I am from Chicago originally, must keep up you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 The site is up and running... I don't know what happened when you went to look.I think the band was on Leno the other night. I think he needs the band that can show 'um how it's done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Hey, Gene! Your post REALLY perked me up! Exactly what I was saying. 20-somethings would get it! EVERYONE would get it now! And I agree--"the time IS right!" I have a strong feeling that there are a LOT of people who didn't know Raspberries got back together and would be VERY sorry they missed them! I know there are a lot more Razz fans (and EC fans) than know about this board!I think you're right on with this one--the Berries can show EVERYONE how it's done!

SugarBabi7 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Bingo, that did it. Thanks Gene. Great sound. And from my home town too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAM Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Cool band, though with Capitol behind them they may fade into oblivion. The lead singer sure is trying to emulate Lennon. Their Leno/Conan videos are very Beatlesque in regards to their stage mannerisms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Agree with Gene that the Redwalls could be big with just the right song. Based on their 2 CDs, though, I'm not sure if they're capable of writing a monster hit themselves. IMO, there's a wealth of great young 60's/70's-style R&R bands out there waiting to be discovered. I saw at least 2 dozen bands last year at Little Steven's Underground Garage Fest (Randall's Island, NYC) that could break out nationally or world-wide if they got the right exposure (The Contrasts, the Singles, Muck & The Mires - the best Merseybeat band I've seen since The Kaisers, Jarvis Humby, the DM4, etc.). The music's still alive...the question is - will enough youngsters be interested at this point?The huge success of some bands like Jet, the Hives, White Hypes (er...Stripes, I mean!), and the Strokes shows that there's a great deal of interest out there, provided MTV plays a particular band's videos (the modern day equivalent of the old Top 40).
