About Me

ALBUM OF THE WEEKSuperhopper Party Killers If ever there were a credible concept on which to base a rock album, it would be the scene's never-ending string of destructive, all-night house parties and the characters who thrive on them. From the sinister bass line that kicks off Party Killers to the adrenaline-fueled "This is the way victory sounds!" that closes it, Superhopper prove they're one of the best (and most overlooked) rock bands in the Twin Cities. The disc's should-be hit, "When You're Down and Out (in Minneapolis)," gives a tongue-in-cheek endorsement to our hot DJs, scenester boys, and hipster girls. And being part of that reckless scene has never felt so comforting. When the track threatens to fade away, the kick drum just keeps thumping, pushing it past the five-minute mark and well into the night. Following the theme, should-be second hit "All Tomorrow's After Bars" eases concerns about partied-out friends with handclaps and the sing-along chorus, "I don't want any of ya cocaine/I just wanna know you're okay." At four o'clock in the morning, that may be the most resonant and meaningful lyric a club kid, schmoozer, or hoodrat could ask for. -------------- http://citypages.com/alist/detail.asp?EID=139032------------ ---------
