.. Demos / Featuring Joe Satriani

Description:

Satriani about â??Squaresâ?: â??In Berkeley, CA, back in the late '70's my then brother in law Neil Sheehan and I decided to start a band. It would be a power pop trio with me on guitar and Neil managing and writing lyrics. We sought out a drummer and a frontman/bassist, and in December of '79 we found them playing on the local bay area scene. Our lead vocalist/bassist Andy Milton was from Cleveland, Ohio. He was 6ft. tall, good looking and had a voice like a modern day Elvis. Our drummer Jeff Campitelli was a local phenom who could groove like Charlie Watts but with a new ferocious energy that would help propel the band into the burgeoning New Wave music scene. We called ourselves "The Squares". We were part Van Halen and part Everly Brothers. A mix of heavy metal, rock 'n' roll, punk and new wave. We were hard to pin down and categorize, which is most likely why we never "made it"! But as we were trying our best to get a record deal and become superstars we had a lot of good times, and we laid down some seriously good music. Ultimately, I left the band I started to pursue a solo career. What remains are the original early '80's demos. We've restored the original recordings, brought them into the digital world, and with loving hands and ears John has remixed the best of what we did in the studio. They sound better than ever. Turn it up and enjoy The Squares! - .. DEMOS / FEATURING JOE SATRIANI

Vinyl LP pressing. Joe Satriani has had a long and acclaimed solo career, his awards and accolades from fans and the industry alike are unending. Yet, through all of that, Satriani has often mentioned in interviews the musical trio that launched the next step in his musical career, his first band, the Squares, formed in Berkeley, CA in the late 70's. Until now, no recordings of the inception of the legendary Satriani sound was available. Now that is all about to change with the release of the aptly titled Squares! As Satriani explains, "We were part Van Halen and part Everly Brothers. A mix of heavy metal, rock 'n' roll, punk and new wave. We were hard to pin down and categorize, which is most likely why we never 'made it'!" However, Satriani never lost his love for that time or that music.
