Lemon Pipers
Jul 11, 2004, 20:12
The Lemon Pipers are very schizo -- some of their stuff is bubblegum-to-the-max. All those songs written by the Leka-Pinz songwriting team: Green Tamboruine or course, also followup singles like "Jelly Jungle" and "Rice Is Nice" (diabetics should avoid these sweets!)

But then there was another side of the band that wanted to be more like The Doors!! They did a few longass "heavy" workouts which sound like they were by an entirely different group. Check out a 10 minute track like "Fifty Year Void"! These were the songs the groups members themselves actually wrote, but they were used as "album filler" and not put out as singles.

In other words, they were a "real band" that got a lucky break hit single which turned out to kill their career since they were typecast as"bubblegum" forever more.

Yes, Lemon Pipers definitely ARE bubblegum -- it's a subgenre dominated by producers, professional songwriting teams & the marketing dept, and they certainly fit the bill.
