We should all aspire to have as much fun as the boys in Low Cut Connie seem to have every damn moment of every damn day. If their walloping boozy piano rock wasn't enough to get yr panties in a bunch, their videos are downright thigh slapping in their hilarity and goofiness. Example: the lead off single for their latest release, Hi Honey, is a bluesy boogie called "Shake it Little Tina" that didn't quite sink home to my ears until seeing the delicious visual interpretation that follows viral...

?????????? Low Cut Connie made their wacky and weird debut in 2011 with the truly fantastic record Get Out the Lotion. With its oddball album artwork and throwback soul songs like "Full of Joy" and "Johnny Cool Man", no one knew what to make of them. It seemed the Philly-based band had just popped up out of nowhere and satisfied every hankering you never even knew you had...

This Philly-based band's third album is a smartly crafted blend of barroom garage-rock, '50s rock 'n' roll, roots-rock, '60s soul/R&B and more, with a consistently strong set of songs combining stinging electric guitars, rollicking piano, occasional horns, energetic rhythms and catchy pop hooks. The impressive guest lineup includes Tune-Yards' Merrill Garbus, Ween's Dean Ween and Greg Cartwright (Reigning Sound, Oblivians) along with members of The Dap-Kings and Budos Band. 3/12/2015

It goes without saying that any rock and roll band with song titles like "(No More) Wet T-Shirt Contests," "Scoliosis in Secaucus" and "Boozophilia" likes to play by their own rules. That goes for self-managing, self-booking and self-releasing their albums - this is their second - too. Elements of 60s pop spar with rollicking Faces-styled piano/organ and rugged hooks thick enough to hang meat from as this quartet grinds out whip smart material that never seems retro...

Low Cut Connie imagine what indie rock might sound like were it invented in Alabama in the late Fifties. The product of two songwriters - New Jersey's Adam Weiner and Birmingham England's Dan Finnermore -- Get Out the Lotion comes equipped with whiskey breath and a satchel full of filthy jokes, all of them funneled through sonics that are decidedly budget-conscious...

The anthem here is "Shit Shower & Shave," in which scuzzballing Adam Weiner explains how "cleanliness is godliness" for a guy embarking on his quest for nocturnal emission, especially if he aspires to better than the handjob-for-hire of the album title. Less mannered here than on his pseudo-doowop project Ladyfingers (lady fingers? do we detect a fetish...
