CHEEPSKATES - SECOND AND LAST (1986)
Led by the monstruously talented Shane Faubert, the Cheepskates
began life as an anomaly to NY's garage rock scene in the mid 80's.
They always were scouring for vintage paisleys and deeper, more
intelligent accomodations of a derivative sound. They crafted pure pop,
clear expressive, refreshing timeless pop treasures. They first released
the classic "Run Better Run" in 1984 (reissued in 2005). Then, the original lineup split while recording the follow-up (hence the title "Second And Last"), an album never reissued.
After losing Keith and guitarist David John Herrera, the Cheepskates continued on as a trio of Shane Faubert, bassist Tony Low and new drummer Jeremy Lee. They released "Remember" (1987), "It Wings Above" (1988), "Waiting For Unta" (1989), and "Confessional" (1990) all available in CD format, though their two tribute (Perry Como and The Residents) EP's have never been reissued

thanks so much for all your recent posts. if you are open to suggestions, the 2001 "Rye Catchers" and the 2002 "Cobbwebs - Magic Boat" LPs are the only D. Bash top 25 that are impossible to find. perhaps you could remedy that. anyway thanks for all you do.
Wow, what a brilliant find. Never heard this group, but their great organ laden 60's garage sound is excellent. Thank you for this gem marios !! :-)
Dear Angelo: Any chance to get some more music of The Cheepskates ? :-)
