THE GREAT PERHAPS DEBUT RECORD
"WE WON"T BE SITTING DOWN" ON SALE!!!
Excerpt from a NEW REVIEW by the handsome Mike Turner for KEXP Blog...
…the Great Perhaps mesmerized the crowd under a spell of bayou inflected rootsy jangle. Blake Sloane effortlessly channeled John Fogarty as he opened his mouth to spew an avalanche of golden gravel setting aglow the murky darkroom grotto. You know, the kind of golden gravel that sounds really good against a backdrop of countrified guitar rock? Yeah, that kind… it would be much too confining to just slap them with a CCR/southern rock tag and leave it at that, The Great Perhaps tip toe into areas of 60’s soul and mo-town as well without relying on irony to carry the vibe and the delivery is so earnest that you almost forget that Super Mario is playing drums (he goes by Will Duncan now apparently). The point is this: placards to aide in crowd sing-a-longs are brilliant (and way helpful), rock poses are still cool and confetti is fun… Even if you’re throwing it on yourself –which they did. Oh yeah, and they have a friggin’ Light Bright on stage! Where do you even get those?
Here's a write up from the RED EYE.
Here's an old review from Chicago publication Illinois Entertainer:
"There's nothing fancy about the six tracks on The Great Perhaps' self-titled debut EP, and that's also part of its charm. "Rhythm Machine" at times evokes the Who's "Happy Jack", with the bubbly beat of "Dumb Luck" sounding at once friendly and fresh...the band exudes such inviting energy it's hard not to clap along." - Jeff Berkwitz
And a blurb from The Flabby Hoffman Showgram:
"Kick the jive bands to the curb and dig these real heartbreakers and rump shakers. Little is know about these legendary agent provocateurs. The Urban Legends swirl around these mysterious purveyors of high test kinetic performances. What is know however is that chief amongst their weaponry is a talent for music so intense that it will blister your brain from the inside and forever stamp the name of TGP on your dance card."
