notes

"Woo-hoo! This is a great record, and you know I don't say that often. A heavy Beatles influence is evident (if singer/guitarist Steve Rouach ain't a Brit, he wishes he was), but Rouach's arresting, surreal lyrics ("Carnival horses...wishing for sugar/they can't eat with plastic heads"); the band's fresh, often surprising arrangements; and a palpable swagger in the performances and recording, rescues Imaginary bill from the ranks of mere retro posers. This is the real deal, kids! Hard for me to pick a fave from a dozen winners, but that's what they don't pay me for, so I'll toss out "Clark Kent," "Wash," "Bottom Feeder," the aforequoted "Pantomime Horses" and "About Her Toupee" - how's that, boys? The only thing more surprising than the quality of this record is the number of gigs this ostensibly Brooklyn-based band play on Long Island; makes me wonder if I should give the suburban wasteland a second chance...nahh. Fans of Robyn Hitchcock, XTC, Elvis Costello, Blur, the Wannadies, etc. should take special note of a special band." -Demo Universe (August 2001)

  • A Great self title release from this powerpop/punk trio!!!
    author: Wonderful Bill

    Twelve tunes that will keep you smiling and pogoing for days (if not weeks)!!! Clark Kent, Wash, and Pantomine Horses are fresh sounding songs that prove this point. If this is the band's first album, than I predict (and hope) to hear the next one real soon!!!!! Don't wait for the ice cream man. Get yourself a copy today!!!! :)

    each track gets right to the point and hits you with a great album from this unsigned band. imaginary bill brings together great mix of drum beats, guitar riffs and amazing vocal styling. songs like doped up, troy dorsey and clark kent will have you pushing your repeat button. if you want good music pick up imaginary bills debut album.

  • This cd is overall awesome and kicks ass!!!
