CITIZENS HERE AND ABROAD
"Ghosts Of Tables And Chairs" CD
- Dark, brooding pop perfection from members of various San Francisco Bay
area veteran bands. We could go on about how much we love this release,
but we'll let these reviews speak for it. MP3s, pictures, and other info on

their site (http://citizenshereandabroad.com). Official release date is
February 3rd, but you can order it now from our friends at toneVENDOR

"Citizens Here and Abroad apply a Velvets-like drone to breathy, propulsive

pop with enough confidence to win over all aliens, outsiders, and
noncitizens." -Kimberly Chun, San Francisco Bay Guardian, May 2003

"…The result doesn't sound like a combination of [their previous] bands.
They're less heavy than Secadora but darker than Dealership, pulling
together influences from the Fall, Stereolab, Sonic Youth, and scores of
others, yet sounding like none of them. Besides playing bass, Chris G. sings

and works a tiny 1982 Casio keyboard, often in tandem with a 1970's Fresno

Unified School District xylophone. Adrienne, who also sings, toggles between

standard and baritone guitars. Dan's guitar effects are layered, and Chris W.

balances steady drums with atmospheric percussion to fill out the sound.
With an as-yet-untitled EP scheduled for release this summer, the all-star

lineup played Noisepop in February, opened for the Polyphonic Spree in April,

and is slated to play live this Friday, May 9, at SF's Hemlock Tavern with Film

School." -Malka Geffen, East Bay Express, 2003 Best of the East Bay

"Local reason to go: Citizens Here and Abroad, a foursome that combines the

best parts of Dealership and Secadora to make the kind of perfect pop this

fest was built upon."-Dan Strachota, San Francisco Weekly,2003 Noisepop
