Click on our new CD: MONDO FUN to hear all the songs, read reviews and if you want to... buy the album! "FEELIN' GOOD ABOUT LIFE IN GENERAL / HOPPED UP ON A REAL COOL THING / FEELIN PUMPED-UP YEAH YEAH" from " WHAT A COOL WAY OF LIFE " on Raquel's Boys new album: MONDO FUN While we have lots of faves and influences the sound is really our own, The VIBE OF THE MOMENT, SPONTANEOUS EMOTION FLOWING THROUGH OUR FINGERS or SOMETHING THAT POPPED INTO SONGWRITER SEAN'S HEAD. There are elements of 60's pop, bubblegum, 50's rock and roll and early glam because we love these styles but we're not about trying to cop anyone else's sound. We have fun making music and we just crank it up and play. It's cool when people dig our style, but we'd be doing the same thing even if they didn't. This album is about us being ourselves - no 2nd guessing, no self-consciousness, no concern for "the music business" Yeah, just being yourself - that's the message, bay-bay!
BIG THANKS TO OUR AUDIENCE OF CHAMPIONS, WE LOVE YOU ! ! ! WE'RE ON A HOPPED-UP PLEASURE CAMPAIGN to make Rock and Roll a FUN EXPERIENCE!
Historical research indicates a possibility that Rock and Roll may have at one point in time been a source of pleasure, inspiration; an action-packed thrill-ride! We're not sure if this is true, so just in case we bring you- MAXIMUM FUN-ROCK!


Love,
RAQUEL'S BOYS
