New Champagne album makes
simple statement with feeling
CD review
Aaron Shakra
Pulse Reporter
My first exposure to The Cham
pagne Syndicate was when the band
opened one of the poetry slam playoff
rounds at Foolscap Books. Guitar play
er and vocalist Sam Hahn had broken
two guitar strings, interrupting the flow
of the set. How wonderful it is to hear
their recording “Apple Feet” — a full
band recording, minus interruptions
to re-string a guitar.
Four people contribute to “Apple
Feet,” but the band is apparently
portable. Their Foolscap show had two
members — Hahn and bassist/gui
tarist/vocalist Joey Spilberg—perform
ing. Four musicians play on the album,
including Jason Bradley on drums and
Moe on electric guitar. The band’s pho
tograph shows eight members.
Lyrically and musically, this record
ing is a breezy spring day, absolutely
fitting for the season. The songs are
neither short nor long, and the musical
arrangements are tight, with slick gui
tar licks and wicked drums. The songs
are simple statements, but there
seems to be a glimmer of something
new in each of the 10 tracks.
Hahn’s voice alternately scats, wails
and whistles, and is always interjected
with feeling. On the self-explanatory
“Spendin’ Time With My Girl,” he sings:
“There ain’t nothing more than, noth
ing like, spending time with my girl,
there ain’t nothing like it, nothing like
it in the world.” The refrain throughout
is the feel-good vocal harmonization:
“Do wa do wa/do wa do wa.”
Occasionally, tracks will segue into
litde jam segments for each of the mu
sicians. One example is the
reggae/funk-infused “I Don’t Want to
See You Cry,” which momentarily
branches into inspired, funky guitar
and drum solo sections, with the bass

“This guy literally rushed-fhe stage

Is one of them yours? If you suffer from persistent mild to moderate
asthma, you know the frustrations of unexpected asthma attacks.
You know what if feels like to have difficulty breathing, to suffer
from shortness of breath and tightness in your chest. Maybe you've
experienced wheezing, coughing or the impossibility of asthma free days
and nights. But right now, doctors are looking for new and
different ways to treat asthma.
A clinical research study is underway to test an investigational oral,
steroid-free, non-inhaler medication that may relieve asthma symptoms
and lung inflammation. If you are a non-smoker
between 18 and 70, and have any of these symptoms, you may be eligible
to participate. The study is not open to pregnant women.
