Victoria's Kings of enviro-cowboy lounge music, Children of Celebrities return with their third CD, Stereo Bang Bang. Although the band spent more time in the studio than on their first two efforts, they stuck to their goal of capturing the feeling of a live-off-the-floor sound. Recorded in Mike Regimbal's home studio, the new album features eleven originals and two covers: Tom Waits' "Tango 'til They're Sore" and Johnny Cash's "Let the Train Blow the Whistle". CelebHeads, the cult following the band has established over the years, and new listeners alike will be right at home with the new songs, primarily from the quirky yet poignant pen of Rob Egan. “The Road to Hollywood” opens the Cd with a story from the boulevard of broken dreams, “Rodeo Clown” tells the tale of a woman pursuing a non-traditional career, the meanstreets of “Downtown” is spiced up with jaw harp and banjitar, “Old Lips” offers a view from the end of the line and “What Will It Mean When You’re Gone?”, from the pen of Mike Raymer, is a lovely ballad that tugs at the heart-strings. Contributing vocals to several songs are members of the Balkan Babes, an award-winning women’s choral group. To understand how that fits together with the Children's roots-country-rockin'-twang you just have to trust the band's demented artistic vision 'cause it works. Delivering more than a half ton of fun, Children of Celebrities burst onto the Victoria music scene in 2004 when a group of pseudo middle-aged guys wanting more than their day jobs. All talented musicians, they also discovered a shared sense of humour about life and music. In 2005, the "Children" released their debut CD, Middle Age Wasteland. Victoria's Monday MagazineReader's Poll voted Children of Celebrities as "Favourite Group" and Middle Age Wasteland as "Favourite Local CD" in 2006. It was also nominated for a Vancouver Island Music Award. In 2007, the band released their second CD, We're Not Bitter, receiving airplay on CBC Radio and campus-community radio stations across the country. We're Not Bitter shot up folk and rock playlists resulting in national campus-community chart rankings on !Earshotfolk/roots/blues charts in August, September and October 2007. The band has also appeared on two compilations on The Self Righteous Records label: Cavalcade of the Scars Vol. 1 in 2006, and Vol. 2 in 2008. The "Children" perform regularly in bars, coffee houses, and festivals. They have gained many a fan at events such as the Islands Folk Festival (Duncan,BC), and The Sooke River Music Festival.
