"Yeah,
but what kind of music do ya play?"
Blake Jones & the Trike Shop is a quirky avant-pop band trying to,
depending on who you talk to, bridge the gap between: frank zappa and paul
mccartney/old “SMiLE’ bootlegs and episodes of "Dark
Shadows" /15 century church music and Dr. Seuss. --Theremins whir,
guitars clang, and a good time is had by all. Spear-headed by life-long
songwriter and DIY-er Blake Jones, their recordings are characterized by
strong melodies supported by an eclectic blend of standard 'rock' instruments
and thrift store oddities such as the theremin and toy piano.
*************************************
But perhaps the only explanation needed is that written by
James Gardner of the All Music Guide:
"It lands like a pure-pop present on your doorstep!"
