Album Notes

It's Hedwig and The Angry Inch (minus the drag queens) meets Spinal Tap (minus the accents and that fat guy from All In The Family) meets The Daily Show (minus the Emmy. So far).

It's high concept gone low budget. A two-man mock rock "concert" featuring real rock AND real mock. A theatrically based, loosely structured evening of original acoustic music running the topical gamut from love to politics to giant robots, supported by cheap sight gags, blatantly left wing political screeds, potentially offensive improv comedy, and the occasional heartfelt plea for a date - all gathered under the umbrella of the immortal Outback Steakhouse credo; "No Rules, Just Right."

Scotty Iseri is our hero - a wannabe rock star with a heart of gold and the voice of an angel. Tim the Roadie is his sidekick - overworked, under funded, and unfortunately, uncensored. When describing their onstage rapport, we're inclined to make comparisons like "Martin and Lewis," "Hope and Crosby," "Rove and Libby." Oh, wait. That last one so wasn't funny. But you get the gist.

Our two-man cast plays off each other with the kind of infectious glee that only two struggling Chicago artists who've been roommates and best friends for years could embody. And The Big Rock Show is the kind of show that only two struggling Chicago artists who've been roommates and best friends for years could invent.

The Big Rock Show is different. It's theater and comedy and rock. It's satire and it's sincere.

It's good.

It's an opportunity to leave your preconceptions at the door and come enjoy an occasionally awkward, often touching, very rocking, but mostly just pants-wettingly funny hour and a half that you will be just as hard-pressed to concisely explain to your friends as we are to concisely explain it to you - no matter how hard you try. And you will try.

Oh yes.

You will try.


Because Your Girlfriend Still Loves Me is the response to fan demand to hear the crummy love songs that don't get played live so often. That will all change soon.
