My New Favorite Band in the World (An Occasional Series)

From Albany, NY, please enjoy power pop weisenheimers The Charlie Watts Riots' fabulous new video for their fabulous new song "Bottom."

From their fabulous new album A Break in the Weather. Which can -- and most definitely should -- be downloaded over at Amazon HERE




Seriously, when I first heard their name I practically plotzed. What a pleasure that their music lives up to it. I mean, to paraphrase what Jack Nicholson famously said of Bob Dylan -- these guys are a riot.

I should also add that I think you'll detect a salutary Cheap Trick influence on the band, both musically and sartorially. I'm also rather tickled by the homage to the Palmer Girls toward the end of the clip.

File it next to The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Vox remind anybody else of Chris Collingwood? Or is it just me?

the bjm comparison would never have occurred to me, and it still does not.

I love the name of this band beyond all reason.

And glad the music is so great...

Nice video, too.

Fans of synchronicity note that CWR bassist Mike Pauley has performed with the Weasels (Albany), both live and in the studio.
