    Squalls were a band who came from the same rich Athens, GA scene as The B-52’s, Pylon, R.E.M., and Love Tractor, but played their own brand of quirky pop with their own unique sound. Equal parts Lovin’ Spoonful, Grateful Dead and Talking Heads, they got many a person up on the dance floor. From 1981 to 1989, Squalls rocked Athens and made several tours of the South, the Midwest, and East coast cities including several shows at New York City clubs CBGB, Danceteria, and Peppermint Lounge. They released 4 recordings and were included in the 1986 movie Athens, GA: Inside/Out. The band also played at the legendary Athens 40 Watt Club 64 times during their heyday.

    Squalls Live from the 40 Watt is a collection of 24 tracks recorded by 40 Watt Club soundman, T. Patton Biddle, and selected from five early 1980s shows.

    Live from the 40 Watt is set for release on August 19, 2022 via Strolling Bones Records.

about

"The year of Big Brother. Personal computers had just come on the market. I had this vague impression of the machines being wedded to their creators. Set to a Bo Diddley beat and Elvis's "His Latest Flame" chord progression." - Bob Hay (Squalls)

lyrics

(Words and music by Bob Hay)

There's a river. It runs through my mind.
The current is humming, images coming and going all the time.
There's a wire attached to my head.
That's what she said before. That's what she said.
She stumbled on the line.
Everything's fine.
And you're mine,
Bride of Frankenstein.

So what? So what?

Sometimes I carry on. Sometimes I cry.
Sometimes I wonder. Sometimes, yeah,
But mostly I watch
How the moon and the midnight look down on the scene.
Sleepers are restless and stir in their dreams.
Put your hand on the screen.
Everything's fine.
And you're mine,
Bride of Frankenstein.

There's a river. Woohoo. So what?
