HERE IN YOUR BEDROOM

I was just reading the post below and couldn't help but smile. 

Goldfinger was one of my favourite bands growing up. 
Them, Reel Big Fish, Save Ferris, were like, my bands. 

I first heard Here in your bedroom on KROQ when I was a kid..
and many moons ago I stayed up really late to see them on Conan O'Brien performing Here in your bedroom.
There is probably footage of that on youtube.

Anyway, I heard about them from spending numerous amounts of time in LA. 
Back then I was such a silly kid. 
I thought about changing my name to Mabel.

Here is another embarrassing fact about my love for Goldfinger.
I remember spending a whole day at home watching the Goldfinger VHS tape titled Darren's Coconut ass. That Goldfinger videotape my friend got me wasn't particularly great but back then I liked Goldfinger that much. 

I honestly haven't thought of them much since Stomping Ground but they were a facet of entertainment in my life. 

I just heard this recent song by Goldfinger, handjobs for jesus, and I am quite impressed with it. Part of the reason I went to seek this song was because a friend told me Bert from the Used and Monique from Save Ferris did vocals on it. 

As embarrassing as it is, I once loved the used too. I know every word to blue and yellow.. and i can sing it too..

I'd have to say my favourite Goldfinger song now is The City with Two faces.
It's quite ironic that I never understood that song when I was much younger..
but now, I get it.

If you know what I am referencing, go to the wasted superstars blog and read my lovely entries on what I think of LA. 


GOLDFINGER




















Goldfinger was formed by John Feldmann on vocals and guitar, Simon Williams on bass, Darrin Pfeiffer on drums, and Charlie Paulson on guitar. Before they were signed to a major label, they released an EP titled Richter. Many of the songs on Richter are demo versions of songs on their full length debut, Goldfinger, which was released in 1996. Though their second album, Hang-Ups, was less successful, the band still maintained a devoted fan base in the hardcore community. Their third studio LP was Stomping Ground, which sold poorly in the US but was a modest hit in some European countries, thanks to their cover of Nena's "99 Luftballons" sung partly in German. Their next album, Open Your Eyes (2002), was the first for their new record label, Jive/Zomba.


To sum this band up, id say its a "happy" theme of music, i was introduced to this band from an older friend, not many people have heard of them and a lot of people think "the movie?" but seriously give them a go im sure you will be suprised.
