Those Darn Accordions! - No Strings Attached

San Francisco-based band's latest captures the group's quirky worldview and squeezebox-fueled sound, produced by Scott Mathews (John Hiatt, Dick Dale). Offers original rock about Japanese sci-fi thrillers ("Mothra"), '60s visionaries ("Them Hippies Was Right"), an original polka with a ripping solo by legendary Dick Contino, "Mambo Triste", "The Hotsy Totsy Polka", freaks of other sorts ("Hamsterman"), the Loch Ness monster ("Deathbed Confession") and brand-new instrumentals, showing a taste of the band's traditional side: "Paco's Dream" and "Ramune." TDA accordion "enhancements" of classics 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".
