ALBUM REVIEW #2: The Kingsnakes 'Roundtrip Ticket' (Garage rock 'n' roll)

THE KINGSNAKES - 'Roundtrip Ticket' (Twins, rel: 1985) (Garage rock 'n' roll) A young Daniel Jeanrenaud, barely out of his teens, relocated from France to San Francisco. There he befriended Chris Wilson (Flamin' Groovies) and became the Groovies' roadie. His musical ambitions came to fruition when he poached ex-Groovies Danny Mihm and James Ferrell from Roy Loney's Phantom Movers. 'Roundtrip Ticket' is the Kingsnakes' debut album. Jeanrenaud now lives in Camden, London. You can check out some recent videos of him on YouTube under the name 'Camden Cat'. He is also on Facebook as 'Daniel Jeanrenaud - The Camden Cat'. His enthusiasm for rock 'n' roll is infectious. This is a 'Vinyl Melange Cheap 'n' Cheerful' production for fans of garage rock 'n' roll, the VC vinyl community, record collecting and record reviews.
