The Band
An acoustic based rock band out of Boston, conceived in the summer of 1993, but laying dormant until February of 1996, when we quick dickin' around and decided to do this whole music thing right! The music is hunger sprinkled with ridiculousness, bravery watered down by love, laughter so hard that tears come, even sex on the roof of a building! Life, love, drunken philosophy, it's all here in a blend of folk and rock stylings that never forgets to groove and always leaves you singing along and thinking: "Yeah, I've been there!" . . . Mindflow takes you there.
The Players
Basically what you have is a conglomeration of square pegs and anti-cool loner types who have chosen this one band to be a vehicle by which they can vent in various ways . . . and therefore fitting into the round hole that is commercial music. - Tony Roberts - David An - Dan Millen - Mark Ligor - Mike Bergeman all trained and beautiful for your musical enjoyment!
"Just Like Don Quixote"
Mindflow's debut CD was released in May of 1996 on their own Broken River Records label. Instant Magazine said: "How 'bout this one has radio written all over it." A collection of eight songs - diverse, yet all tied together - the whole record is a quixotic journey.
" . . . a wit-filled Boston act with the rock-soul twists of a Counting Crows, plus a fast-developing original sound. A melodic rock group with some of the most intelligent new tunes in town." -- Steve Morse, Boston Globe
"I love this band!" -- Carmelita, WAAF DJ and host of "Bay State Rock"
"The band is classic rock, with an exceptional vocalist, and impressive lyrics . . . Mindflow really does it for me. All the potential is there for Mindflow. Boston should be proud to call this band one of their own." -- Megan Sheehan, Northeast Performer
"Performance-wise, this CD is superb . . . lyrically superb . . . some of the most tasteful I've heard in this genre for some time. It's pretty clear that there's a Beat Generation/Bukowski influence, and Mindflow pulls it off . . I dug it." -- John Mickevich, Modern Musician Monthly
"Mindflow takes its troubled troubadour status just a tad too seriously . . . hits you over the head with 'Look Ma, Ain't I deep?' self-importance." -- Tiffany Richardson, The Noise
"These regular guys who sound like Grant Lee Buffalo after going through the fountain of youth are a well-kept Boston secret. Their quixotic disc, recorded in Allston, presents eight songs with unpretentious lyrics and compelling stories that even your mom could relate to. (No slight intended.) Just like Don Quixote, Mindflow have the ability to bring the stories they image to life." -- Loren Epstein, the Boston Phoenix
