ABOUT COUCH FLAMBEAU
Couch Flambeau is a Milwaukee-based post-punk band formed in 1982, built around the core duo of Jay Tiller and Neil Socol. Known for the biting wit of their lyrics, the band has spent over four decades carving out a singular place in the Midwest underground.
Their 1985 release The Day the Music Died earned a spot on Byron Coley's "80 Records from the Eighties" list in Spin Magazine. Their catalog also includes Mammal Insect Marriage (1983), the cassettes Curiosity Rocks (1982) and Rock With Your Sock On (1987), the EP Models (1987), a self-titled CD (1998), and the 37-song career overview I Did a Power Slide in the Taco Stand: Anthology 1982–2001 (2004).
The band has drawn praise from some of the most respected voices in independent music. Steve Albini called them a "great band" that rides "the rock/funny dividing line like it doesn't exist." Spin Music Editor Charles Aaron described them as "Milwaukee's finest punk noisemakers — funny like a ten-year-old guitar hero shoving an M-80 up Jack Black's butt." The Village Voice noted that their songs "describe a scary world with psychos on the loose, mangled bodies on the ground, bugs in the crawl space, and scenesters on the guest list." The Big Takeover put it simply: "Couch Flambeau do not cease to entertain."
