Those
Darn Accordions-No
Strings Attached (Globe)
I'm not sure why they sent me a disk by a band that features six lead
accordion players. I suppose because I tend to be more open-minded to
quirkiness than some other writers.
Well, with that in mind, I suppose Those Darn Accordions have a certain
kitschy charm. And if you play it long and loud, I'm sure you'll get rid of
unwanted houseguests.
Otherwise, I'm afraid, despite the fact these guys write what might very
well be decent rock songs, the lead accordions obscure any tunefulness they
might have and just make you feel like you're stuck at a demented bar
mitzvah.
