Album Notes

Back in the 1980s The Burdons were pioneers of the original music scene, mixing jubilant and infectious songwriting about teenage angst and passion with shimmering four part harmonies. Now 20 years later, the boys are celebrating the release of their live disc of all originals: Penny Arcade.

The Burdons have captured the attention and imagination of increasing audiences with their catchy and crafted sound, originality, and genuine love for the carefree excitement inherent in both classic American rock 'n roll and early British beat music.

The sound of The Burdons is more of an attitude - an unabashed joy for the purity, innocence and discovery of up-tempo tunes marked by tight ensemble interplay and all variety of fun.

" I'll warn people not to listen to The Burdons unless they're ready for some hollerin' and hoppin' and a helluva good time. -The Bay City Times

"I haven't had this much fun in years . . . . " -Bob Seger
