REVIEW
By Run-of-the-mill Bill, CdBaby
Randy Hansen is a fantastic songwriter who has released many admirable solo works. On this CD he brings in his live band The Angry Neighbors, as well as some top-notch production, resulting in one damn fine album. Really strong harmony vocals on “Strangest Places” and “Right at Home”. Great guitars on “Boom, Boom”, “No One in the World” and “Dragnet Honeymoon”. Excellent keyboards on “It’s Gonna Be Tonight”. Great lead vocal on “Lucky Day”. Of course, as always, great songs from Hansen the best being the hilarious “Bus of the Damned” and the raw-rocking “Irene”, the latter being either about a prostitute or a groupie, that has a really cool reoccurring fuzz-guitar riff. Rock is still alive and kickin’ folks, you just have to look in the strangest places…
ABOUT THE BAND
Randy Hansen and the Angry Neighbors were formed in 2011 by mad scientists seeking to create the perfect blend of rock-n-roll. Their diabolical plot succeeded and ever since the band's explosive mix of rock, blues, punk and Americana have kept San Francisco Bay Area audiences hanging on for dear life, wondering what will happen next. The band's future plans include: wreaking havoc, subliminal messaging and taking over the world one sinister plot at a time. In 2014 they released their highly anticipated CD “The Strangest Places”.
BIOGRAPHY BY AMG
Raised in Seattle, Washington, USA, guitarist Hansen first attracted attention as a member of nightclub act Kid Chrysler And The Cruisers. The group’s tongue-in-cheek repertoire encompassed several styles of popular music, but was marked by the musician’s imperturbable pastiche of Jimi Hendrix. Having formed a trio, Machine Gun, in 1977, Hansen took his tribute on tour, but achieved a greater notoriety when he contributed Hendrix-influenced effects to the film soundtrack of Apocalypse Now. This in turn engendered a management agreement with San Francisco-based entrepreneur David Rubinson, who began promoting his client as an artist in his own right. Randy Hansen comprised original material that sadly paled in comparison with that of his mentor. Hendrix’s songs still provided the focal point of the guitarist’s live act, and in 1984 he reverted completely to the role of imitator by joining drummer Buddy Miles in a revamped version of Band Of Gypsies. The 90s saw Hansen working as part of a tribute revue with original Hendrix bass player Noel Redding.
