Synopsis

Album Description

The band is fronted by singer and keyboard player Max Décharné, former drummer of GALLON DRUNK who is also the author of four books and a regular contributor to Mojo and Bizarre magazines.The Flaming Stars have remained an elusive band stateside despite their 5-year career in England. And what do they sound like? Imagine cavernous Phil Spector-ish production, reverb'd guitars, and velvety baritone vocals over vaguely tropical rhythms and lazy rockabilly beats: suave, sophisticated, seductive...oh, yes! If you dig Mick Harvey's (of the Badseeds) solo output of Serge Gainsbourg covers, the Flaming Stars will be the perfect drug for you. An Alternative Tentacles Records release.

CD Reviews

I can't even walk straight anymore...

Panagiotis Stinis | Minneapolis, MN | 12/07/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Max Decharne with a bottle of Jack Daniels in one hand and the microphone in the other is a common scene at the Flaming Stars live performances. This compilation does justice to its title. The Flaming Stars are a band that loves to drink and sing about it whether this is in the form of killer instrumentals like "Who's out there?" or in more traditional songs like "The face on the barroom floor" and "Only tonight". You can picture yourself (or at least wish) in a bar where the band is pumping guitar and organ riffs in your boozed brain.
If you like garage music, liquor ballads and an occasional creepy cemetery story this is an album you will probably come to love. It's the best introduction to the world of the Flaming Stars and it won't let you down when you've had one too many and all you want to do is "Kiss tomorrow goodbye"."
