Call And Response
Blowin' Bubbles
KVRX live studio appearance (2001)

Once upon a time, there was a cute little twee-pop band called Call And Response. They played songs about bubbles and rollerskating, and it was really cool. They liked to play funk music too. It wasn’t real funk music, though. It was distinctly indie twee-pop funk music, even twee-er than COCO. But “I Know You Want Me” was lots of fun anyways, it doesn’t matter what the cool kids say.

They didn’t have enough money to record their first album the way they wanted to. That’s okay, though, because after a while they got popular enough that Emperor Norton wanted them, and so Call And Response left Kindercore and re-released their debut. They re-did four songs and resequenced the album, but it was still really cool because now “Rollerskate” was all peppy and funky like the other tracks. And I guess less cute. But “Blowin’ Bubbles” is still cute. Even when they do it live in Texas, like they did here.

The end. (Or is it?)
