FLESHTONES
KEITH STRENG, PETER ZAREMBA, BILL MILHIZER, JAN MAREK PAKULSKI
plus JOHN WEISS & GORDON SPAETH
Often tagged as garage rock revivalists, the Fleshtones mix the fuzz guitar and
Farfisa organ sounds of that genre with rockabilly, '50s and '60s R&B, and surf into
a potent retro stew the group likes to call "super rock." The group formed
in 1976 in Queens, New York with vocalist/keyboardist Peter Zaremba, guitarist Keith Streng,
bassist Jan Marek Pakulski, and drummer Bill Milhizer and aimed to return rock & roll
to the simplicity and unselfconsciousness of the '50s and early '60s

SLEEVE EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)
There's never been a real substitute for seeing the Fleshtones live (not even their live album
quite fills the quota), but Roman Gods does a fine job of getting their ideas down
on plastic with muscle, enthusiasm, and creative thinking, and it boasts several of their
best songs, including the hard-charging "R-I-G-H-T-S," the moody "Shadow Line,"
the rollicking "I've Gotta Change My Life" (good advice!), and the title cut, easily the finest
Kingsmen tune ever written by some guys from New York 20 years after "Louie Louie"
was a hit. It's cool, it's not dumb, and it sounds great at a party --
Roman Gods is everything you've ever wanted in a garage revival album, and more!...(AllMusic)
