- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Hailing from Athens, Georgia, Casper & the Cookies have been hard at work
creating their own peculiar brand of power pop since the late æ90s. They
tirelessly test new waters in their songwriting and sonic pallet. Jason
NeSmith (aka Casper Fandango, ex- Of Montreal) shares writing and recording
duties with Kay Stanton. Drummer Davy Gibbs and a rotating cast of unsavory
characters round out the lineup.
Casper & the Cookies released their first full-length album in 2003, Oh! on
Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records. Oh! was also picked up by Waikiki Record
in Tokyo. Their latest album, The OptimistÆs Club is due out in May 2006.
During the interim, the Cookies recorded a tour-only EP, The Band That
Shouted Love at the Heart of the World, and tracks for the Happy Happy
Birthday to Me Vol. 3 compilation and the 9th Annual Athfest CD.
Having toured the Midwest, East Coast (2004-2005), and Japan (2005), and
Casper & the Cookies will do an extensive nationwide tour for the release of
The OptimistÆs Club in Fall 2006. A Cookies show is a constantly evolving
happening. Good solid playing is matched with a high energy, sometimes
slightly dangerous stage show where anything can happen. Casper & the Cookies
have shared the stage with Pylon, The Rosebuds, Of Montreal, Elekibass, The
Essex Green, Marshmallow Coast, Dressy Bessy, and Elf Power.
