About Me

Michael Lynch missed out on the 1960s but likes to pretend he didn't. Does he pull it off? That's up to you. But whether he does or not, he still puts forth some catchy songs, dipping them in dishes of Beatles, Kinks, Byrds, Hollies, Gants, E-Types, Cryan' Shames, The Move, and virtually every band on the two 'Nuggets' box sets.

Sounds Like: Sounds suspiciously like The Dandelion Majesties.
