Song of the Day - August 2, 2005

Moe Tucker was the former drummer for one of the most influential bands of all time, The Velvet Underground. She now occasionally records under her own name. The track "Hey Mersh!" starts out with some fuzzy guitar riffs and is infused with the essence of Bo Diddley, an influence which she freely admits. I love her simplistic vocals, a definite lo-fi sound, combined with the 50's style drum work. Click here to enjoy Moe's refreshing style.
