When the Denton, Texas quartet of Fergus & Geronimo rolled into the studio, their faces wore a dazed look – a cross between travel exhaustion and utter excitement.  As they powered through “Powerful Lovin’,” a garage rocked doo-wop ditty with enough soul to spare, it was clear that some real emotion bubbled beneath the layers of fuzz and static in the mix.  There’s a true bluesy strain running through the lyrics, and a fervor that made the strain seem welcome.

Fergus & Geronimo’s “Tell It In My Ear” is available in limited supply via Transparent Blog, who also premiered the above video. Thanks guys.

Getting in touch with the Teenage Cool Kids wasn’t easy. They didn’t even have an email address on their myspace page, c’mon guys! Luckily I triangulated their position by reaching out to the good folks at Transparent Blog in hopes that they might have a line on the boys from Denton, and they did. The band set up for a quick session at Different Fur where they ran through a rawking version of “Foreign Lands” from their album of the same name. New internet friends, the Weekly Tape Deck, premiered this video over at their lair, pay them a visit, and be nice, or we’ll find out.
