EXPANDING ANYWAY

Morning Teleportation formed in 2005 when Bowling Green, KY?natives and lifelong friends Travis Goodwin (keyboards), Tres?Coker (drums), and Paul Wilkerson (bass) met up with Chicago?transplant Tiger Merritt (vocals/guitar), who had just moved to?their hometown for college. From the beginning the band has?built up a roller coaster of tumultuous rock 'n roll, featuring?analog synths, heartfelt vocals, and sudden changes woven?through psychedelia, electronica, and deep-space pickin' n'?grinnin'. They've spent most of the past year on the road playing?for enthusiastic crowds at Bonnaroo and Sasquatch and supporting?the likes of The Flaming Lips, Cage The Elephant, and?Modest Mouse.?To witness Morning Teleportation's live show is to experience?a cacophony of improvisational mayhem draped with melodic?twists and turns. Merritt's vocals dart sharply about the frantic,?pulsing backbeat held down by the rhythm section, while?his spacey fingerstyle guitar prowess embodies a style best described?as finger-trippin. And while their sound may be somewhat?more modern than several of their cited heroes (including?James Gang and CSNY), you should make no mistake: these are?still some boys who want nothing more than to have a good time?in the classic rock idiom.?With the combined energy of a basement party, a back-room jam?session, and a futuristic hootenanny, Morning Teleportation's?raucous, off-kilter explosion of enthusiasm is guaranteed to?raise a smile. The band's first album, entitled Expanding?Anyway, is out March 8 on Glacial Pace Recordings.??Tracklisting:?1. Boom Puma?2. Eyes The Same?3. Snow Frog Vs.Motor Cobra?4. Expanding Anyway?5.
