“Alongside fellow natives Beat Happening, Some Velvet Sidewalk helped establish Olympia, WA, as an epicenter of the American indie rock community throughout the 1980s and 1990s, their minimalist sound and wide-eyed world view giving rise to the emergence of the love-rock ethic. ” —from All Music Guide by Jason Ankeny

Al’s newest CD, The Hardline According to Danny and the Dinosaur, has proven to be sound accompaniment for washing dishes or re-roofing one’s house. Johnny Appleseed standing in defense of empty orchards, arguing for “taste” not as an elitist privilege, but as the joy of unique flavor on your tongue. Using imagination requires mistakes as we walk through the mystery.
