Dream
under the Skyscrapers Over St. Miran. You're a Lovely Little Swan witha
Violently Pretty Face. It is A Prophecy that we Got Apphrension with a
Gunpowderkeg, which is a Knee Trembler that's Too Bloody Stupid! What
Is
There To Smile About? I have a Gut Ache and it is a Nature Thing! "Close lobster is / was a genius
name. when they
came out in the states all reviews speculated wether it was close
lobster
(near lobster) or of course close lobster (shut the lobster). the only
interview i ever read they explained that I twas "close lobster" and
since
the printed word
cannot convey the difference I still don't know."
Regards, David Lowery (of Camper Van Beethoven &
Cracker)
"Close Lobsters A Scottish quartet, they released their first albumin
1987. Delivering snappy-sounding New Wave, the band features singer
Andrew
Burnett, guitarists Graeme Wilmington and Tom Donnelly, and therhythm
section
of Bob Burnett and Stewart McFayden." - All Music
The time was the late 80's and I was a nervous, angst-ridden,
anarchy-loving,
non-conforming middle school student. I used to watch 120 Minutes
on MTV and I saw a happy pop video with a sad undertone. "Let's
Make
Some Plans" was the video. The lead singer drinks from a cup in the
middle
of lip syncing! It was great. Then, I saw "Nature Thing"in 1988. It was
so nervous, so tense, so incredibly wonderful! I had to get the album.
Once I purchased the tape "Headache Rhetoric" it was all over! My first
C.D. was "What Is There To Smile About?" I've got so many memories and
emotions tied into this band. When I first made this site, I haven't
read
any articles and not many reviews either. So, this site is from the
heart
and is fueled by the music. -Todd E. Jones
