Graham Parker in full-band, rocking mode, will return to the Narrows this Thursday, June 9th.
Last visit, he played solo, but this time he has The Figgs, and a brand new CD, "Songs of No Consequence," which is his first studio album with The Figgs.
The CD is Graham Parker being the rocking Graham Parker, with catchy melodies and lyrics worth paying attention to--not necessarily for any great insight to the universe, but because they're interesting.
Some excerpts:
--"We're all working for the Vanity Press. Leave your conscience on the editor's desk."
--"Has Rock N Roll just died, or does it just smell bad?"
--"That monkey who used to be so funky is now working for the Bureau of No Change. That swinger who used to be a gunslinger is now saying that his underwear was too strange. That editor who used to be a go-getter, now put a movie star on every magazine. That tripper who wore a psychedic zipper, is now hanging up pictures of the queen."
