Copper Gamins
The Copper Gamins Ep
From the mountains of Mexico comes a band and sound melding such diverse inspirations as 60s garage rock, the films of Charlie Chaplin and the field recordings of John Lomax; The Copper Gamins are the latest wrinkle in the guitar/drums duo trend of acts like The White Stripes and The Black Keys - yet at the same time something completely original and distinctive. Its raw and naïve music that rattles with inspiration and imagination; like the unpolished fire of The Oblivians and the sly, obtuse nuance of Eugene Chadbourne and revelatory experimentalists The Residents. This five-track EP introduces a group that already sparked a buzz through the underground in their brief residence last year in Central Texas when the band literally lived in a blue garage.
