"SHINE ON" new EP by Garage Rocker Gar Francis.


"SHINE ON" new EP by Garage Rocker Gar Francis.
Gar Francis Gar Francis sounds effortlessly vintage-cool as he again proves what rock & roll sounds like from where it truly originated - the garage. "Shine On" is the new EP from singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer Gar Francis. Gar indeed shines his musical talent through "clouds of pink majestic skies" as he uses lyrics like "baby boomers sit back and take view, graffiti masters Peter Max tattoos". Yes, music world  "Shine On" is here and with all the psychedelic rock coolness you would expect from a rock & roll veteran.

Produced by Gar Francis and Kurt Reil at the House Of Vibes. It's undoubtedly a
brilliantly consistent EP. It is obvious these five tracks are not only TV/film-synch ready, but a must have in your music collection. 

 "Shine On" is here and with all the psychedelic rock coolness you would expect from a rock & roll veteran. "Shine On" the new solo EP from Doughboys guitarist Gar Francis continues with that 60's Garage Rock sound that we have come to know and love so well.
  
 SONG TITLES                    
1. SHINE ON
2. BACK IN 1985
3. BLUE CADILLAC
4. TRAGEDY
5. I'M STILL ALIVE

The first track "Shine On" starts with that 60's psychedelic groove.  
Next comes "Back In 1985" with a 60's type ballad feel reminiscent of a Phil Spector production.
"Blue Cadillac" is a bluesy groove with production from the same inspiration as the Black Keys.  
"Tragedy" is a pure 12 string guitar based song about the equal opportunity everyone has in finding themselves homeless.
And "I'm Still Alive" is an old Who type song declaring that the child inside still remains many years after.
 
Band Members
GAR FRANCIS/VOCALS & GUITARS,  LEE FINK/GUITARS, 
MIKE CARUSO/BASS, ROCCO SCAVONE/DRUMS,  
MYKE SCAVONE/HARMONICA, KURT REIL/BACKING VOCALS.

New single "Lady Gaga" by the Swinging Iggies

Bongo Boy Records continues to disarm listeners with their new single "Lady Gaga" by the Swinging Iggies.

Release date: March 5 2011.

Written & Produced by Gar Francis and mastered at the House of Vibes, the song rocks in a classic punk/pop way.



The Swinging Iggies honed in on a remarkably well-defined sound with distinctive vocals. You will find this to be three minutes of outrageousness. It inhales today’s music sensations. With quietly persistent emotional conviction The Swinging Iggies do deliver the goods. It is complete with a serrated howl & general carrying on. This single doesn't miss a beat and neither should you.

“Lady Gaga” by The Swinging Iggies is available NOW for downloads at cdbaby.com, iTunes, Amazon and most digital download sites.
