Candy Golde, continued:
The 5-song EP was mastered by Ivan Julian of Richard Hell and the Voidoids. The EP contains four originals and a cover of Paul Simon’s “Boy in the Bubble,” issued for limited edition 10” vinyl and download on Ten O Nine Records. Together they deliver a seamless fusion of the best of what they bring to their bands. You get an idea of what’s coming the instant you hear the armageddon dance crazed opener, “The Hold Steady,” Carlos’ pounding in the raucous swagger of “Boy in the Bubble,” (where you fully expect to see Captain Jack Sparrow leading the pirate brigade), and the incandescent pop wonder that is “Trouble’s Coming Down.”

Tremulis, the seasoned troubador with lyrics and playing bursting with stories of the streets and soul, recently wrapped up co-writing a tune with long time friend Alejandro Escovedo for his current album. Stirratt weaves his bass into the sound with the dexterity of a needle and thread. Clocking 15 years with Wilco, he is the only founding member, alongside Jeff Tweedy, to contribute to all the band’s releases (which have garnered 6 Grammy nominations in 4 different categories, and a Best Alternative win for A Ghost is Born in 2005). Rizzo, co-lead singer of Candy Golde along with Tremulis, is known for his signature dazzling notes and moves. Those moves in 11th Dream Day's second effort “Prairie School Freakout” – a wonderous fury of rock – solidified the band’s mission as super-distorted Crazy Horse disciples with an abundance of post-adolescent zeal. It is universally agreed upon by critics and fans alike that 11th Dream Day easily can be afforded the same esteem reserved for seminal bands such as Sonic Youth, the Replacements, Dinosaur, Jr. Rizzo delivers that and more with the shared Chicago home flavor of his Candy Golde bandmates.
