TESTIMONIALS:
The
Squirrels onstage at The Breakroom. Pic by Vince Gipson (c) VG/poplust
"...the proper
mix of rock 'n reverence and wild ass
irony... Manic
Rob Morgan might be the most
entertaining
frontman in town."
MONK
magazine
"On a REEEEEALLY
good night, The Squirrels are probably the most
entertaining
band on Earth for my money (but since I generally don't have to
pay to see them,
the point is moot). They're friends so I have to say this. I would
anyway. They
are a guilty pleasure and I thrive on guilt. What can I say?
THE
SQUIRRELS IS GOD!"

(Flamin' Groovies/Phantom
Movers/Longshots)
"...Where, let's
say, They Might Be Giants might drive a
Volkswagen bug,
The Squirrels drive a BIG ASS WINNEBAGO..."
THE
ROCKET magazine
"...Deeply silly...
a howl of a whole different sort, a crazy covers party...
imagine the Flamin'
Groovies on a weekend pass from Bellevue..."
ROLLING
STONE magazine
"The Squirrels
are as crazy as a one eyed tick on a rabid coondog!
And Rob Morgan
is a demented genius idiot savant charlatan
jester if I ever
saw one. MY KINDA BAND.
I once did a Christmas
show with the Squirrel boys and it was such a
mind blowin'
juxtaposition of trad yule howls and pure sub Sweet
schloch that
me and my cranked up R&B howlin' seemed
like a pimple
on a giant squirrel's ASS!!!
Any band that
covers The Buoys' "Timothy" (the world's greatest/sickest
faceless pop
song about coal miner cannibalism) with such demented
GLEE could be
the biggest thing outta Seattle since The Kingsmen,
Jimi Hendrix,
and Heart put TOGETHER!!!!!
Scott Fresh Fellow
told me there was someone I should meet.
Someone a lot
like me. Well, this Rob Morgan is a lunatic! One
"episode" away
from padded cells and thorazine every four hours.
A screwball nutjob
who barely belongs on the planet Earth.
I like him. I'M
A SQUIRRELAHOLIC!!"

"...The Squirrels
are the greatest band since The Tubes.
Where was Rob
in early Tubes days... he eats
Fee Waybill and
spits out the shells!"
PRAIRIE
PRINCE and/or RE STYLES
(of
THE TUBES)
"...A daffy,
energetic onslaught... devilish
modern rock fun..."
