Pat Todd & the Rankoutsiders
(Rankoutsider) www.rankoutsiderrecords.com
Frantically brushing back imaginary strands of hair while bouncing around a
sleazy nightclub like a water heater about to blow, pint-sized wildman vocalist
Pat Todd was the crucial element for over 20 years in Los Angeles-via-Indianapolis punk-rockers the
Lazy Cowgirls. The only difference now that he's changed the billing is the
repertoire's been expanded to include songs about busted love relationships and
an occasional tear-stained, acoustic ballad like "Wrong Turn." No
fears, though; Todd's still one of the most electric frontmen in the business,
the rare bird who understands there's really not that much difference between
the lost-highway racket made by the Ramones, the Rolling Stones and Hank
Williams. "Where the Sidewalk Ends" explodes from the speakers like
the Clash's "Safe European Home," and "Billion Dollars
Cash" finds Todd behind the wheel of a '59 Caddie, rolling down Route 66
and tossing $100 bills out the window like confetti.
