THE CYNICS
Über die Band
Legendäre Garage-Rock-Institution aus Pittsburgh, seit 1983 aktiv und Gründer des einflussreichen Independent-Labels Get Hip Records. USA Today lobte ihr Album Here We Are als „eines der besten Neo-Garage-Rock-Alben seit Jahren". Adam tourte und nahm Ende der 2000er Jahre mit der Band auf.
In meinen Worten
The Cynics came into my life when garage rock did, when living in Normal, IL. Somehow I went from hard rock, to blues, then found 60s style garage rock via the coolest record store ever, Mother Murphy's. I had all the Cynics albums, and The Last Vegas hopped on a bill with them in Champaign, IL. They asked my brother Nathan to play drums with them soon after, and then asked me to fill in on bass for a few years after that. Same playbook as UO, ha, but Cynics were first! Michael and Gregg are true legends, coolest guys ever. The Last Vegas put out our first two albums on Get Hip Records (run by Gregg). They were our rock'n'roll parents for a while, between 2004 and 2008.
