The Squirrels

Seattle rock and roll & move ironists the Squirrels were led by singer Rob Morgan, a longtime veteran from the Pacific Northwest underground picture who previously fronted regional punk legends the Fishsticks. After further honing his goofy bubblegum-punk strategy using the Pudz, in 1984 Morgan shaped Ernest Anyway as well as the Mighty, Mighty Squirrels with people of the Adolescent Refreshing Fellows; the group’s 1986 debut Sing the Hits of Johnny Kidd as well as the Pirates/Five Virgins juxtaposed renditions of materials by these Kidd with addresses of psych-era strikes like “Nature in the Sky” and “Locks.” Because the Youthful Fresh Fellows’ personal notoriety grew, Morgan was pressured to assemble a fresh lineup, dubbed the brand new Age group Urban Squirrels; following incarnations included Squirrels Group ’87, Ron Voyage and the brand new Squirrels, and lastly, throughout the 1990 discharge of What Provides?, basically the Squirrels. 2 yrs afterwards, the group released a Christmas record, Kid of Snowman/Don’t Dread the Snowman, implemented in 1993 by Harsh Toke of Truth. Within the wake from the Scrapin’ the Strikes retrospective, Morgan disbanded the Squirrels in past due 1997, but a calendar year afterwards teamed with keyboardist Tom Morrison to record a fresh track for the Sparks tribute LP; the task ultimately led to the forming of a fresh Squirrels lineup which released the Green Floyd potshot The Not-So-Bright Aspect of the Moon in 2000.
