Great fun. The bolo tie phase was a failure, but black suits with an H crest on the breast seems to be dress for success.
The new songs are solid - esp. liked the last song - and that seems to have invigorated the band. Obviously they are fueled on confidence and confidence is best when its real. I think their last effort wasn't great (Although I never really heard it - kind of slept on these guys since VVV) but they're back on track. Seems like they're re-inspired to take garage rock to the future. Even if they re-invent the wheel, they're so likeable its nice to see them succeed.
Howlin' Pelle is Jagger/Iggy mixed with Paul Stanley/David Lee Roth. Always entertaining. As is "Brad Hamilton on speed" (and everyone else for that matter). And the band may be one (or at best two) dimesional, but they've polished that one dimension to the point where they can cut diamonds with it (I know that doesn't make sense) so it continues to work.
