***This colorful, charismatic group of youth, featuring George and Lou Lou Rosenthall, the children of Hank Rank (Crime), has been blasting around San Francisco since elementary school, honing a diet of Blondie, New York Dolls, The Ramones, The Recauntours-- you name it. After two years of pre-production, Lou Lou and the Guitarfish's self-titled debut record was recorded in two days, and it cuts and scrapes through the speaker with the reckless abandon of Iggy Pop and a full jar of peanut butter. The band is wise beyond their years, showing the guitar swagger of a seasoned swinger and vocals that are as self-assured as the subject matter. These kids want to be heard, and they will get your attention any way they can. Raised in a museum of music and wonderments, home-schooled on the life of an artist/musician, they play their version of powerful rock with a style similar to pre-junk Thunders and with lyrics as biting as Patti Smith (check out "Hit Me"). Youth of today, unite. The revolution is in the hands of the young-- Lou Lou and the Guitarfish. 30-second MP3 excerpts: One in a Crowd
