Just a quick note: Ralph Alfonso here (writer/designer/zine publisher/photographer guy) I have a new CD out that some of my pals on this list may want to know about. Band is called RALPH. CD is "This Is For The Night People" Kind of Rod McKuen meets Serge Gainsbourg for drinks in a stretch limo at 3 in the morning. Dave Rave (Teenage Head, Shakers, Dave Rave Conspiracy) produced two songs. Lauren Agnelli (Washington Squares, Nervus Rex) contributes a vocal. Lee Aaron (ex-Metal Queen) also has a bluesy vocal track. John Hamilton (Diodes, Secrets) makes a guest appearance alongside Blair Packham (The Jitters). Two cool cover songs: "(Walkin Through) The Sleepy City" by The Stones, and "Pull My Daisy" (Kerouac/Ginsberg/Davin Amram). It is a VERY downtempo vocals and jazz vibe with touches of Hammond alongside sax, flute, drums, percussion, Wes Montgomerish guitar, French vocals here and there, great record to have on driving around late at night.
