The Flaming Stars - Named and Shamed (2004)

The Flaming Stars are a 'garage noir' band. That’s garage as in loud guitars, valve amps, cheap electric organ and trashcan drums. Formed in December 1994 by ex-Gallon Drunk drummer Max Décharné, they have regularly filled venues such as The Garage, and the LA2, and venues around the country, as well as playing sell-out tours around Europe, Japan and the US. Expect here soulfull baritone 'alcohol' croonings mixed with a remarkably diverse array of musical styles, such as psychedelic rock, shoegaze and surf. 'Named and Shamed' is this UK-based quintet sixth effort, which was released on Alternative Tentacles.
