"Yeah, but what kind of music do you 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/cocoa pebbles 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!"
