The Parson Red Heads are one of those great new bands I have enountered through the wonder of modern music known as myspace. They originally hail from Oregon but now reside in sunny Los Angeles and are carrying on that great tradtition of breezy jangle-pop in the same vein as The Byrds, CSNY and The Zombies. I'm rather upset that now that I live in Oregon that a great band like this has left. At least my chances of catching them live this summer are better here than back on the east coast. They've recently released a new 5-song EP called "Field Mouse Carnival" and its available from Yukon Records for a scant $8, to think that skipping 2 Starbucks drinks can pay for some of the sweetest sounds you'll hear all summer.... Here's a couple songs for you, one from the latest ep which has me completely enthralled and another off their 2005 release " The Ghost of a Crab". Check out their myspace for an additional song and summer tour dates, of which many are in Oregon!!!
