As if that weren\u2019t reason enough to check out this self-released album, <b>Joey Molland<\/b> (of <b>Badfinger<\/b>) even plays lead guitar on one track (\u201cChardonnay\u201d). The Chinch Bugs are comprised of <b>Scott Wolf<\/b> (bass), <b>Lila Karash<\/b> (guitars, vocals), <b>Jenny Loupe<\/b> (oboe, English horn, vocals, keyboard), and <b>Jimmy Sexton<\/b> (drums, percussion, vocals, organ). These four musicians are obviously driven by a love of pop music. Their music is simple, direct, and ultimately inspired. Instead of doing what is the norm this century (using digital technology to hide a lack of talent), these folks present their music using only the basics and they <i>never<\/i> bury them in overdubs. Sincerity and good intentions just <i>ooze<\/i> out of these cool tracks. Our favorite cuts include \u201cChardonnay,\u201d \u201cBroke,\u201d \u201cLizard\u2019s Dress,\u201d and \u201cTake Me Away.\u201d Totally groovy modern pop with a cool consciousness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>7\/29\/15 12:00pm enjoy an outdoor concert w\/The Starfolk!\u00a0 Info here.\u00a0 The Starfolk will also be playing an intimate early eve gig 7\/19\/15 @ Honey 7PM w\/pals The Chinch Bugs! review of\u00a0 The Chinch Bugs \u2013 Broke CD!
