The Bay Bridged just premiered two new cuts today from Oakland bands, and the protagonist of this post, King Lollipop is involved in both. Cody Blanchard’s day job is guitarist/co-writer in the amazing Shannon & The Clams, and he’s just revealed the details of his side-project King Lollipop. And it’s fucking great. On 1-2-3-4-Go! Records will release his debut cassette. Just like his work in S&TC, this is a 50s-referencing excersize in excelling through simplicity whilst being catchy as all hell. ‘Cheeseburger & Fries’ is infectuous, feel good … goodness about love and cheeseburgers. Among other topics discussed on his new cassette (which you can hear on at the link above), dumspter diving is not only my favorite, but a hobby of the men I love, so this is all good to me. Anyone who has been described as a “crooning, hiccuping, lo-fi garage version of Buddy Holly with a touch of Marc Bolan” is worth adoring. Get on this.
