Kirk Jamieson

New album from SEATTLE trio TOOTHPASTE 2000, featuring Frank and Donna of the fizz-pop duo COWBOY & SPINGIRL with drummer/producer/whippersnapper Kirk Jamieson!This, their sixth PARASOL album (and yet another sonic milestone for this veteran pop outfit), was recorded in Seattle (well, Wallingford) at Jupiter Studios.TP2K's awesome snap-to-it two and three-minute pop anthems are adorned in the hi-est fi-est kick-ass-analogue-studio-meets-Pro-Tools production.

Her guitar work is the stuff of ax heroes, while bassist Bednash (a subscriber to the McCartney school of melodic playing) and drummer Kirk Jamieson ensure that the three-piece lineup always sounds full.Toothpaste 2000 don't put a foot wrong forward, from the opening of "Bubblegum" on.Furthermore, along the way they manage to create a genuine classic, "Mona Lisa Overdrive," a song Oasis should offer massive money to cover.In a better world--or maybe a different country--this album would be high on the charts.It simply doesn't get any better than this.
