Biography
A San Francisco CA indie pop Semi-Super Group providing summery style hooks, festive fireworks with a smart, catchy sound of retro-sensible rock & harmonies.
According to their label supplied band bio : The Parker Brothers (feat. veterans of Creeper Lagoon, Preston School of Industry, & the Bellyachers) are a throwback. Their music comes from a time when you could hear the Faces played right after the Sweet while driving up Ventura Highway. When girls in tube tops on roller skates chugged Boones Farm wine while flirting with All the Young Dudes. Where melodies soared and guitars wailed in unison and everyone could have a piece of that Humble Pie. It was a time when dogs played poker and Boss Hogg always had Luke Duke by the pubes. When long walks on the beach would ultimately end at a half buried statue of liberty, next to a shirtless and screaming Charlton Heston. This was the time of the Parker Brothers. It was a time of innocence, when anything seemed possible. Long before elegantly written software, there was the smell of plastic melting in a microwave. There was Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway singing about “Where is the Love”, while people raised their Pet Rocks. There was Me and You and a Dog named Boo all listening to the Guess Who. There were Green Grass and High Tides, Jailbreaks and everyone was cool if they made a little Bread. Before Death, Drugs and Divorce, there were The Parker Brothers. C’mon and take a Freeride with the Parker Brothers and find out what everyone is talking about.
