 The New Lou Reeds were formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 2002. Since then they've released a number of recordings through Shandi and Exit Stencil. They've been known to drive hammered to play shows on deserted tourist islands while singing off-key harmonies to "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." |

New Lou Reeds Lookin' for a Boogaloo/Beautiful Women 7" Sham 001 Two song 33 & 1/3 RPM 7” features "Lookin' for a Boogaloo" from the Reeds second album Top Billin' plus an exclusive version of "Beautiful Women" featuring a rockin' horn section. Hand printed covers. |
Available for $5.00 PPD in the USA or $8.00 (USD) international. “The New Lou Reeds’ proficient, non-flashy blues is neither new nor reminiscent of the Velvet Underground, but it’s gonna stick anyhow. Singer/guitarist Stephe DK is a workhorse who leads the trio with a more self-effacing understanding of Electric Sweat than the Mooney Suzuki. Instead of being guys who claim they can get the jam going, "Lookin’ For A Boogaloo" is a smart-ass commentary on searching far and wide for a place downtown to get a funk dance on. Howling more like John Fogerty than Jon Spencer, DK rouses his troops with "If you got nothing, you’ve got nothing to lose. It's like ZZ and Top, it’s Huey Lewis And The News. Come on, it’s time to rock. We're out lookin’ for a boogaloo." Bassist Ed Sotelo and drummer Jeff Ottenbacher have their share of decent fills, but the New Lou Reeds function best as Cleveland’s answer to the words-but-not-tune-driven Hold Steady.” - Reed Fisher/paperthinwalls.com |
