DAVE ARVEDON - The Best Of Dave Arvedon Volume 3

Nicely priced. One copy only.

Arvedon is a quirky, kooky singer-songwriter who clearly savors bubblegum pop, acid-fried garage and proto-punk grooves, giving it all a Zappa-esque nose tweak and using phrases like “that would be peachy fine” in a song about getting turned down for a date. It’s pretty entertaining for the most part, so long as you’re not too uptight about corny goofball rock – I can’t help but picture the Muppet band playing these songs.

Reissue of 1971 album from the leader of Boston area 1960s garage band THE PSYCHOPATHS ("Till The Stroke Of Dawn" 45).

"Crazed garage basement goof with low-rent humor, idiosyncratic vocals, and primitivist songwriting rivaling The Shaggs."—Acid Archives
