The culture of THE THROATS
Hes an
edgy James Taylor. the feebs
This is the true tale of The Throats.
The Throats
(or T'roats) inhabit a world that is neither fact nor fiction. It's faction
(not to be confused with satis-faction; no, nothing like that at all). Or you
could say "fict." You could say it until you're blue in the face.
What the hell do I care?
What are, or is
(it's only one fella), the Throats (or T'roats)
singing about? It's like looking out your window, if it's a dirty window, and
if your window looks out on a pasture of cuckoo clocks.
Actually, it's just straight-forward songwriting: simple words, simpler chords, and the simplest look on his face, like he's (I'm) looking at a plate of orange jello, just a'shakin' and a'shimmerin' away on a blue plate, a blue plate on a spring green morning. And what a morning it was!
There's a lot of
acoustic guitar on these tracks and quite a few harmonies, if you like that
sort of thing. Do you? Do you like that sort of thing?
Mike spends his
time away from the Martyrs recording
under the name The Throats (or T'roats). He's also a member
of 90s supertrio Pizazz and their side
project, Pizazz Mach 2.
