PHILOSOPHY OF BEATINGS While you all pretty yourself for extinction, we prefer to die ugly (uglier). Once society is broken down and rebuilt, the prophets of yesteryear will be discussed in whispers; Springsteen, Richman, BTO. Field hollers replaced by anthems. Beer soaked rags, hanging from bloated bodies, providing armor against the construction of our oppressors. We are the flare gun of youth. We were formed in Boston. We encourage indulgence in our vices, and we encourage the children to indulge as well. The party is ending. Soon you will be shackled. Throw the rock through the church window, slash the ambulance's tires, dismantle the iron lung. These memories must be documented. A broken heart only stops hurting when it stops beating.

The Big Disappointments: a hurly-burly engine of desert-menace guitars, underlying bass trellis, and psychobilly stomp. The listener is confronted by a soul-bellowing body blast that makes you forget the beer you just bought or the stranger you just met or the taxi your ignorant ass just called. Instead you think about strung-out drifters speeding along cactus-lined highways, truck-stop death-panic scenes, the Gun Club, Lux Interior and his leather pants. - Boston Phoenix

W H I S T L E J A C K E T ? ? Like many girls, Michael's sister likes horses. One day, Michael was in his sister's room looking for his favorite issue of Glamour (just kidding) and happened to glance at a picture of Whistlejacket, the famous racehorse. Hmmmm said Michael, and thus, a band was born.

... a somewhat harder-edged neo-psychedelia, with slightly twangy guitars and dual lead singers, a melodic tenor and a wild, howling alto. I hear The Mamas And The Papas mentioned as a comparison, but it's a good bit more rocking than that. The harmonies are stellar... Noise

John has been writing songs since he picked up a beat up acoustic at the tender age of 14, but if you're nice to him he'll spare you the old ones, and he has a better guitar now.

"...Fall-ish post-punk, Whiskeytown-style twisted trad, soaring power pop and classic rock a la Damn the Torpedos Petty. ... You can hear echoes of Buddy Holly and the Fall and Richard Hell, but the sound is all its own, the lyrics self-aware and city-ironic." - Jennifer Kelly, Splendid E-zine
"A Boston-based indie rock trio, Choo Choo La Rouge...are part...indie and part roots-rock, with solid riffs and strong lyrics." - Chris Dahlen, Pitchfork Media

aptly described by rock author and critic, joe s. harrington (sonic cool, magnet, new york press), as the embodiment of “emotional realism,” my own worst enemy is what it is – no mystery, no pretense, no apologies. the press has sonically linked mowe to such trailblazers as patti smith and neil young and to more modern indie deities like throwing muses, the feelies and barbara manning. among the band’s influences are pj harvey, sleater-kinney, modern lovers and x. mowe’s sound slips-on the fabric of rock, pop and even the blues, but it is always sewn with a punk thread. this band want to connect with you!
