Just what is Lemonade for Vampires? A tart summer beverage brewed to ward off the undead? A magical transfusion that keeps aging punk rockers young? A treat intended to cheer up the grouchy? Maybe its a way to strike a blow against evil by serving the bad guys something delicious they wont like. To date, the worlds greatest minds have failed to answer this question.
In the meantime, here are a few things we do know about Lemonade for Vampires: It is the title of Gas Huffers seventh long-playing program (their second full-length release for Bellinghams Estrus Records). It also represents the bands first collaboration with producer Johnny Sangster, known for his work with Mudhoney, The Briefs, The Murder City Devils, The Fallouts, The Pulses, and many more of todays popular combos.
Mr. Sangsters golden ear, combined with Gas Huffers penchant for high-energy rock and roll, makes Lemonade for Vampires a truly cant miss listening experience. Witness the down-stroke driven punk of Hold the Roll, the junkyard chug of Monument, the pure pop of Another Wafer, Please, the bitter sweetness of Mayfield, the gruesome, lowdown swing of Taco and a Bottle, the mohawk wilting weirdness of All Natural or the apocalyptic nightmare of Ruined and you will start to get the picture. This recording is the effort of a musical group at the peak of its creative power.
So, what is Lemonade for Vampires? Though we may have shed some light on the album, the true meaning of this phrase is still shrouded in mystery. We invite you, dear listener, to ponder and decide for yourself.
