A gimmick band which transcends its novelty status,
Pianosaurus play their light-hearted, pop-oriented material on children's instruments bought at toy stores, among them tiny pianos, cheap-o organs and plastic horns and guitars. Sincere and enthusiastic,
Groovy Neighborhood is sparkling, well-played pop with folk undercurrents; the covers of
Chuck Berry's "Memphis" and
John Lee Hooker's "Dimples" even prove that songs don't need to be composed for toy instruments to sound great when played on 'em. ~ Jason Ankeny
