About Me

Father Bloopy has changed name to Ex Norwegian

Please add us @ myspace.com/exnorwegian and check out the new songs =]
Ginger, Baby, the eclectic debut album by indie-rock quartet Father Bloopy on Dippy Records, has a classic sound that you'd swear youâ€™ve heard before. The leadoff title track is so catchy that at first listen you find yourself singing along as if it is one of your longtime favorite songs. The only problem is that these are new songs, by a new band, comprised of a bunch of kids in their early twenties. Self-described diehards and collectors of early 60â€™s and 70â€™s art-rock, Father Bloopyâ€™s first album pays homage to a variety of obvious influences, including the Kinks, Lou Reed, and ELO, but they add a unique flair and a modern twist to the mix that is edgy and invigorating.

-Miami New Times

â€œOne minute Roger Houdaille is Jonathan Richman jamming with Brian Eno on the title track, with similar Lou Reed talk-singing, the next he s Ray Davies doing wistful poptunes like Pepper Tan or Miss Morality. Anyone hard to pin down is hard to sum up, but there re several well-written grungy power-pop songs with English-centric vocals, like Peter Perrett of Only Ones singing Big Star.â€
-Big Takeover

â€œBrightly catchy songs loaded with hooks, and pleasant surprises. A dozen tracks overflowing with dynamic pop power and good vibes.â€
