Boo Frog – Jeff Larson

by Jeffrey Larson of Sonic Recollections.

So Chris Newman has been on a rampage. When I got this latest band/album, I thought it’d be another cool update on his Napalm Beach formula… I was wrong. This band is way deeper than that, and lots spookier. Originally conceptualized as a band for a Lux Interior tribute, Boo Frog has developed into something bigger. We probably all know his guitar playing, songwriting & singing are unmatched here. But the secret weapons are Erika Meyer & Paul Vega. Erika’s songs send chills up & down the brain. Her guitar works with Chris’s (there’s no bass here) to create a neo-GunClub sound, and Paul’s drums fit in nicely alongside ALL the other drummers Chris has played with over the years. It seems like these guys have found their muses – and it appears they’re all in the same band together. Nice. And if Chris stays on this schedule, he’ll have another 20 records out in the next 20 years. These are 13 killers, lined up one after another. Boo Frog/Boo Frog – Skullman Records 99184-00210-4, 2009.
