Blast off Country Style

Acquiring their name from a Moog record, Blast Off Country Design emerged through the ashes of Sexual Milkshake and Two Experienced Judy to be among the Teenbeat record label’s top & most unique works from the 1990s. Shaped in Harrisonburg, Virginia by previous Intimate Milkshake drummer Chris Callahan, Two Experienced Judy and do not Anxiety bassist Phil Sweeney, guitarist Mary McCue, and vocalist Evelyn Hurley, Blast Off Nation Style quickly proceeded to go from being truly a joke among “significant” local music artists to playing second stage within the 1994 Lollapalooza. What they lacked in specialized proficiency they composed in creativity, natural pop build, and stage existence, plus the great humor of tracks like “Public Firefly” (“I’m not really a cultural butterfly, I’m a cultural firefly”) and “Teenage Unicorn” (“AFTER I was a youngster they never stated that I’d possess a horn developing through my mind, but since it is usually I’ll blow my horn trigger I’m a magic unicorn”). Blast Off Nation Style’s stage displays were not to become missed, making use of their coordinating costumes, the amusing stage antics of Phil Sweeney, and Evelyn Hurley’s interesting stage patter totally creating for all the additional “let’s-wear-our-everyday-clothes-and-play-it-for-the-kids” indie-rock rings of the first to middle-1990s.
