Wonder at the raw adjectives used to describe
Lungs of a Giant in terms of musical gristle and bone.

So glowing we quote it in full, the 5-star review from Origivation Magazine,
March 2007, Vol 6, Issue 2, page 28:
"Headfirst Handshakes sounds sort of like Pavement played really fast,
with a whole lot of funhouse synthesizer in the background.
The lyrics are free-associated and so are the arrangements,
but they're delivered with real panache.
This is what Malkmus would sound like if he gave up practicing his guitar
and instead decided to love life."
(We at the humble LOAG Central Headquarters couldn't agree more.)

Sweet!
So now that LOAG's played CMJ and lived to tell the tale we've now got a review of our live show
from The Deli's "indie pixie panda" reporter in the field, Marie Helene.
She used awesome words and phrases like "unfettered rock" and "anthemic."
She really liked us so much she nominated Paul as 'Musician who looks most like a celebrity'.

Bear-hug Thanks to Doug Mosurak, ex-WFMU DJ and current music reviewer for Dusted Magazine.
He gave LOAG's split 7" a pleased thumbs-up recently.
You can read for yourself where he describes us as: "calling to mind the stormed port
of some of the best artists of the New Zealand underground from the 80s and 90s"
on his review webpage column entitled "Still Single."

Here's LOAG talking about ourselves...
"Eat the rich" interview with Matthew Henry at Magnetic Field, Brooklyn.
(March 6, 2005)

Reviews keep on a-comin'. Here's one from that same Matthew Henry: we're blushing.

I'll have an egg-salad sandwich on whole wheat and a side of LOAG review coleslaw, please.
Alrighty! LOAG review? Yeah!
There's a new New York music scene magazine called The Deli, see?
And they reviewed our last cd, and gave it nice indie rock hugs!
Check out the following words used: "droning," "intricate," irrepressible," "pleasantly sloppy," and "roof-shaking."

Flashback: Old-school interview that Andy gave somebody way back in the early days.
