WELL, LOOK WHO'S BACK.

Ah hell yeah. A band I thought was dead and gone has reunited for a new LP that I hadn't heard about, and it's actually a band I like. It's been twenty years but their sound really hasn't changed. Still analog. It's aged well. Actually it was old to begin with. I just realized what they sound like, one of those small combos that played in the jiggle clubs in the fifties, you know, the honking ba-boom-ba-ba-boom "go baby go!" stripper music. Impala sounds like a band like that, trying to play Henry Mancini. Here's some of their older stuff. The Teenage Tupelo flick is a film by Mike McCarthy that Impala did the soundtrack for. That was my first exposure to both the band and the film maker, A black hole right there.
