This San Francisco-based band's latest recording captures the group's quirky worldview and squeezebox-fueled sound. This time out Those Darn Accordions! offers discerning listeners original rock songs about Japanese sci-fi thrillers, "Mothra", the Loch Ness monster, "Deathbed Confession", '60s visionaries, "Them Hippies Was Right", and ripping accordion solos by the legendary Dick Contino. Brand-new instrumentals offer a taste of the band's more traditional side and another TDA! tradition -- accordion "enhancements" of classic rock songs -- continues with a startling rendition of The Who's "Baba O'Riley" and 81-year-old Clyde Forsman's coy version of Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?"

Here's what people say about TDA! "...A drummer, a bassist, eight accordionists, some with tattoos, some with Marge Simpson hair, ably blow through ska rhythms, chest-thumping anthems, and of course, polkas." "At the creative crossroads of Those Darn Accordions!, where there are no traffic signs, polka fans, classic rock fans and younger alternative rockers will find themselves running into one another ... few ears are used to such weird instrumentation and musical cross-pollination.."

Produced by Scott Matthews. Featuring Paul Rogers, Patty Brady, Big Lou, Clyde Forsman, Suzanne Garramone, Art Peterson, Bill Schwartz, Lewis Wallace. Special guests: Dick Contino, Weird "Al" Yankovic, John Moore and Danute Janutiene
