music: December 2007 Archives
If you've never been exposed to Firewater, the sardonic cabaret of the damned founded by ex-Cop Shoot Cop principal Tod A toward the end of the '90s, then you've done your musical snobbery a grave disservice. The band's second genre-ignorant full-length The Ponzi Scheme is one of the best records of the last decade, and in truth, while the group faded into obscurity after its leader embarked upon an extended walkabout of the Near East three years ago, they never made a bad record.
And apparently, they're not done yet. Unsatisfied with simply influencing currently hip acts like Gogol Bordello, Tod A is back in America, signed to Bloodshot Records, and working on a new album for release next April. So maybe there's hope for your poor, poor ears yet.
