While on the D shelf, looking for DeVille, I tripped across the "Encendador" album by the Dambuilders......I remember the album, or at least I remember one fine single from the album, that's about it.....I looked them up, find them to be originally from Hawaii, find them to be bassist/vocalist Dave Derby, guitarist Eric Masanuga, drummer Kevin March, and violinist (!) Joan Wasser.......
Persoanlly, I have never hearad ANYTHING except this album, in the summer of 1994 WOXY-FM in Oxford Ohio played the hell out of it, and my memory is that I really enjoyed it......sometimes an album leaves your subconcious for years, and just pops right back in for now reason.....so that is why "Encendador" is here.
You may or may not like this, mid-90's alt-pop-rock, not bad stuff at all....."Copsucker" and "Slo Mo Kikaida" are ones I recall, along with the fabuolus single "Shrine" (one of best singles from the year of its release).......
"And I would fall so easilly, because her hair is colored red;I asked he if she'd dye that, too, she tells me it's already dead"......
Just a clever lyric I thought, not a classic album, but a damned listenable one that slipped through the alt-rock cracks of the 1990's......LOVE to hear what you guys think of this one, and,even better, would simply LOVE to hear some more Encendadors if there is any floating around out there.....
