Strip mining the common cultural currency of our times, Polygraph Lounge
engineer an epic train wreck of the American cargo cult, aiming directly at
the funny bone of pop culture here at the beginning of the new millenium:
Conceived in the musical hotbed of New York City's Lower East Side,
Polygraph Lounge is the duo of Rob Schwimmer and Mark Stewart. Seeking
fulfillment outside of their respective lives as virtuoso soloists, composers
and sidemen, they created Eudora's lovely Polygraph Lounge in beautiful
downtown Montezuma, Iowa, where it's always Saturday night. As their
alter-egos Chuck McCubbin and Ernest Tuber, they offer up inspired lunacy
fired from a veritable arsenal of musical instruments. They have been
described as "Spike Jones for the 21st Century!", "Striptease Music for
Geese!" as well as the ever acceptable "Brilliant!"
Strip mining the common cultural currency of our times, Polygraph Lounge
engineer an epic train wreck of the American cargo cult, aiming directly at
the funny bone of pop culture here at the beginning of the new millenium:
Inna Gadda Da Vida as Gregorian Chant, Led Zeppelin meets Aaron Copland, an audience of hundreds of nostrils flaring and blaring on nose flutes in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly while the Lounge soars over the top in the surf guitar paradise that is Tschaikowsky's Swan Lake, while Purple Haze, Green Acres and Stravinsky's Firebird live happily together in connubial bliss. Be it current events, Herman Melville's Moby Dick, or Mozart's Eine Kleine Razzernacht, all are fodder for the cannon of hilarity fired directly to your Medulla Oblongata Da Vida.
So buckle up your buttflaps, karma-campers, and join the boys on this roller
coaster ride to the 3 and 2/3rd dimension where they salute English cuisine,
Ornette Funicello, and units of measurement. With scoutmasters Chuck and
Ernest leading the pack, you'd swear we'd all been raised by wolves. And
you'd swear it's always Saturday night at Eudora's lovely night spot in
beautiful downtown Montezuma, Iowa:
