Those Darn Accordions!
"No Strings Attached"
Those Darn Accordions, 1996

     Those Darn Accordions (TDA) are the revenge against every parent who made their child take accordion lessons. This band is made up of no less than six accordion players playing what can only be described as squeezebox punk. The kingpin of this accordion posse is the tattoo covered, senior citizen Clyde Forsman (that's him on the album cover). His playing is wicked and his smoky, cracking, off-tune voice gives the record its soul. He doesn't sing on every track, but the ones he does are the highlights of the record. TDA play originals, (which are wickedly funny), old polka standards done TDA-style, and the most intense, speaker-shattering rock covers you've ever heard. No Strings Attached (their third release) features two of these amazing covers, The Who's "Baba O'Riley," (with Clyde singing the refrain "They're all wasted!") and the Rod Stewart 70's anthem "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" If you want to find out more about TDA, check out their very cool website. It's filled with pictures, sounds, and everything you ever wanted to know about Those Darn Accordions!
