TRUE CHIP TILL DEATH • October 2009

The J. Arthur Keenes Band - Pamplemousse

By Peter Swimm, on October 29th, 2009

If you haven’t check out this artist, this new release on Pause Netlabel should sufficiently introduce you to his awesomeness, and make his upcoming Blip appearance all that more anticipated. From Pause:

From the icy depths of Canada comes “Pamplemousse”, a loving tribute to the noble grapefruit. The J. Arthur Keenes Band skillfully mixes the tribal rhythms of their native Ontario with modern sounds in this fun-filled, action-packed romp for the whole family.

By Peter Swimm, on October 28th, 2009
