Cowabunga Babes
The Cowabunga Babes are willfully naïve, sloppy, and desirably addictive—a local antidote to the recent strain of over-seriousness in rock. Guitarist Clarke Wilson is the band’s hat trick, a seasoned player who pals around with the Attack Formation crew and led the power trio Those Peabodys. His fellow Babes switch instruments like teens swap spit at a makeout party, and at times the whole outfit bucks like an ornery mare. The confectionery charm of the band muscles out any pretension, and even at the verge of collapse, the songs clamor on with charm. On Peloso, the band crams eight such tracks about socks, finger-banging, and eating into seven inches of vinyl.
