Paradise Vendors — pop exotica space rock “…stepping before the narrow garage, he sniffed the fumes from Paradise with great sensory pleasure…” - John Kennedy Toole, Confederacy of Dunces “Septum aroused, endorphin flow hypothalamus, excite my lobes” - Paradise Vendors If the illegitimate children of Martin Denny and Nancy Sinatra grew up in New Orleans and they formed a band… or you played turntables with LPs by Brasil 66, Dick Dale, The Pixies, and Burt Bacharach simultaneously and all the tunes were in E minor… or punks play bossa nova in the Irish Channel… or The Cramps fell in love with Doris Day… You might have pop exotica space rock. When bassist Dave Baker (Veloka [alternative rock], The Vivid Prawns [Asian pop rock fusion], Nuclear Choir [new wave punk]) and drummer Elzy Lindsey (Veloka, The Vivid Prawns, Nuclear Choir, Fucus and way too many more bands to mention…) met Thespian and chanteuse Jeanne Stallworth, (The Foxy HooHoos), guitarist Robert Vicknair (Veloka, Frank [digital garage], Merkins [post punk]) and last but not least, Anton Gussoni (Electrical Spectacle) on moog and rhodes piano…the eclectic collaboration of Paradise Vendors was born.
