Who the f*^k is Marky Las Vegas? Well, lead singer of The Phantom Keys of course. Marky and the rest of the Phantom Keys hail from Spain. Like millions of bands before them and hopefully after them they aspire to write songs that get the girls dancing and the boys singing along. They would like to "not" put themselves in any one category R&B Punk, Mod, etc. but they definitely have a sound. These two tracks put them in good company with The Crawdaddys and The Fleshtones. Stylistically they resemble the former rather than the latter. These two tracks would not be out of place on Crawdaddy Express and the opening lyrics on the b-side aren't that different than a song on the The Fleshtones Take a Good Look. "Don't Want to Be Free" stands out the most of the two tracks. Marky Las Vegas really controls the "call and response" chorus. Manu and Roi (no surnames) throw in a guitar trick or two but clearly are aiming for that mid 60s sound. "Shut Up Johnny" gets the whole band in on the vocals the only breaks are for a little Chuck Berry lead guitar and some blues harp. Overall a great listen and party record. The Phantom Keys aren't looking to reinvent the genre but want to add a track or two along the way. http://myspace.com/thephantomkeys http://www.elbeasto.com/ http://rinjoeconoblog.blogspot.com/
