Emo vibes pt 2

Introducing one quarter of San Francisco’s Cool Ghouls, Pat Thomas! He’s the tall dude who plays the bass.  He also writes one third of the Ghouls' songs.  Coasters Riding in the Air is a collection of songs written, performed and recorded by Pat Thomas.
 
The Cool Ghouls have made a name for themselves. Their soulful tunes and energetic live set have earned the band back-to-back slots with toast of the coast acts like Sonny and the Sunsets, Thee Oh Sees, The Fresh and Onlys, Mikal Cronin, Fuzz, Magic Trick and Shannon and the Clams etc., and they have no plans to slow their role.  It has been less than a year since Cool Ghouls released their self-titled debut with Empty Cellar and Burger Records, and a new full-length album (recorded by Sonny Smith) is already in the can.  The above in mind, one might guess that the Ghouls have their hands full; but like label-mate and fellow San Franciscan, Tim Cohen… Pat has more songs than any one band is prepared to handle.
 
So as the Ghouls keep on truckin’, Thomas is offering this batch of solo material, Coasters Riding in the Air.  He wants to keep the songs flowing; to convey another corner of the musical realm that he and Cool Ghouls inhabit; but mostly, because he recorded ‘em and he’d like to share ‘em.  Pat laid these tracks at a leisurely pace, coming back to them whenever he could.  He plays everything on the album, except for some saxophone and trombone lines played by Ryan Wong and Richard Harkins.  The result is an ear-pleasing contemporary take on classic west coast rock ‘n’ roll. These songs were seen through for their own sake and good thing, because they are great.  They are infectious all-around-rad tunes; and now that they are here in the world with us, they’re free to go and do what they please.
 
Coasters Riding in the Air will see a limited label-only release on November 26 (with a December 3rd wide-release) via digital download on Empty Cellar and on cassette from Burger Records.

DEAR HONORARY KIDD,

THIS ALBUM IS AN ODE TO ALL THE SIMPLE THINGS THAT MADE YOU THE PERSON THAT YOU ARE TODAY. ALL THE FAMILY 
GATHERINGS THAT YOU BLISSFULLY TOOK FOR GRANTED, BUT THINK ABOUT IN PRIVATE TO REASSURE YOURSELF THAT THE WORLD REALLY ISN’T THAT TERRIBLE. DRIVING DOWN CITY STREETS AT NIGHT, VISITING THE PARK WHERE YOU WOULD GO TO BE ALONE, THE COFFEE YOU SIPPED WHILE PONDERING YOUR LIFE, AND THE THINGS THAT MADE YOU THE PERSON THAT YOU’VE BECOME. THIS ALBUM IS SIMPLY THE PAST. AS 
BEAUTIFUL OR AS UGLY AS THAT MAY BE. IT REPRESENTS THE PLACE YOU GREW UP AND HOW THESE THINGS WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU AS LONG AS YOU LIVE. WHEREVER YOU ARE, 
EVERYONE YOU’VE EVER LOVED OR HATED IS WITH YOU AND THEY ARE A PART OF YOU NOW. THEY ARE EVEN WITH YOU IN THE BOOTH AT HUNTRIDGE TAVERN IN LAS VEGAS (AS SEEN ON THE COVER). WE ONLY HOPE THAT EVERYONE WHO IS WILLING CAN LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM AND IMMERSE THEMSELVES IN THE THOUGHTS THAT WE DECIDED TO PUT TO BED HERE AND 
HOPEFULLY FEEL SOME SERENITY IN KNOWING THAT THEY AREN’T ALONE IN ALL THIS. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS LABOR OF JUST A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND THAT YOU ENJOY HEARING ABOUT OUR TIMES GROWING UP IN A SAD DAZE IN HAPPY VALLEY.

					WITH LOVE,
			ELI, DALTON, GARRETT... AKA THE KIDDS. <3

Like Rainier Beer, these young fresh fellows are full of Yakima Valley Hops. And also like a fresh brew, These groovy dudes exert the perfect amount of bitter angst and free spirited sweetness that make a hell of a party. So get ready to laugh, cry, and have some sloppy sex. Maybe make some embarrassing and overly emotional confessions to your best friends in a drunken stooper. Honestly, express yourself however you see fit to the melodies of this likable trio. They are signed to WASP Records and currently interested in traveling to your neck of the woods.  So, don't be a stranger and feel free to message em! ;)
