Album Notes

Since her band Ultrababyfat went on hiatus, singer/songwriter Michelle Dubois needed an outlet for the songs in her head. She was losing a couple of new song ideas each month because she didn't own a four-track for demos, yet her brain continued to bubble up novel music.

To document her effervescent pop songs, the guitarist gathered a crew of musicians and friends -- a busy cache of players including Scott Rowe (bass), Johnny McConnell (guitar) and Brian Fletcher (drums) -- and recorded a batch of material with Dan Dixon of Dropsonic at the production helm.

Dubois didn't intend for the group to play live, but during the first week of recording, someone asked the band to play a show. "They all love to play out," she says about her new bandmates. "So, next thing ya know, we're a performing band called Luigi."

Still, she relishes her time in the studio. "It's really what I crave," she says. "If I could spend six months a year recording and never play a live show again, I'd be happy. Though once I'm there, the shows are fun, too."

Luigi's debut, vamonos, is a limited-edition release with colorful graphics, individually handmade by the band.

Engaging songs about lips, mouths, taste and other viscerally interesting subjects. Michelle sings like she means it. I like this band and eagerly await the next CD.

come play k-town!

Energetic Guitar-driven Rock - Great stuff!

If you've heard Ultrababyfat, then you'll have some idea of what to expect here (if you haven't, then you should). This disk has a lot of the same high energy, heavy on the guitar rock as UBF. The music lacks the polish of a big-label production (a good thing, in my mind) and Michelle's vocals, while not really dulcet, are captivating. Favorite tracks: Come Forward, Squeeze (I Got Your Teeth), Today.
