Double Love Suicide
" Swagger & Eights"
Laced and addled with bad habbits and attitude, this short lived roller coaster was destined to fall off the tracks. Their live performances were always captivating and sometimes completely over the edge. The saving grace was a passion for writing good songs and always playing to a high standard, even when muddled, shaken or stirred.
Frontman Andy Schiller was never afraid to come out of the gate in something like Lavender lace up leather strides, or be the first one in a bar fight if anyone questioned his motivations. Some of the best musicians in the bay area at that time filled out the lineup. A buzz would fill the room before a performance, and they would arrive onstage in a fog of lights and swagger.
All it takes is one listen to know this is the real thing. A shame their brief recorded history was cut short with pain & sorrow. This 5 song EP is testimony to their potential.
