New Release! Omega Tea Time

The new second solo CD, with the tryptic title of Omega Tea Time, has just released. His musical inspiration, that being the late 60’s and the pop psyche guitar sounds that used to emanate daily from the radio. Gerry is still digging those heartwarming sounds and you will too once you pop this in your CD player (or whatever means you have of listening). So sit back, enjoy some tea, and groove along with Gerry as he takes you on a musical journey. And if you like this, you’re sure to dig Gerry’s previous CD, Candy Prankster, also on Ricochet Sound. - What Wave Dave

Produced by Flavio Monopoli

 

Candy Prankster

The first solo CD effort from singer, guitarist and founding member of Canadian Garage-Punk Legends "The Gruesomes"!! During the long breaks in the bands career Gerry has written, recorded and produced 11 original slices of Psych Rock reflecting a wide range of moods + emotions. A virtual cornucopia of driven rhythms + surreal passion commencing with the fuzzed-fueled and sly lyric humour of the title track "Candy Prankster" thru the catchy lead-in hook + warning of "Fly by Night" to the phased-out inverted guitar/vocal harmonies + far eastern drone of "Urban Shaman + Heaven" then culmination with subtle effect on the Lennonesque inspired "The Trail"!! Superbly assembled and performed... produced by Gerry Alvarez and Alphonse Lanza. RICOCHET SOUND is proud to offer this aural delicacy to the world... But don't take our word for it!! THE TIME IS NOW! JUMP ON BOARD AND JOIN THE ODYSSEY!!!
