Mooney Suzuki – People Get Ready (CD)
Product Details
New York's early-2000s downtown rock scene gets a lot of ink for the bands that broke through to mainstream recognition, but the Mooney Suzuki were burning just as hot in those same clubs, playing with a rawness rooted more in Detroit soul and '60s R&B than art-school cool. Their energy on stage was the real thing, and that 1999 Cooler recording proves it.
The Mooney Suzuki's landmark debut, People Get Ready, is getting the deluxe treatment for its 25th anniversary! The full album is completely remastered and includes the rarity "I'm Not Talkin'" along with the band's 1999 concert at The Cooler in NYC, a blistering, sweat-soaked performance never before released. This seminal 2000s album has never sounded better. Long hailed as one of the sparks that ignited the early-2000s garage-rock revival, People Get Ready helped define the sound and swagger of a scene that would soon reshape rock music. It's explosive energy, razor-wire riffs, and unfiltered urgency were a blueprint for a generation of bands emerging from New York's downtown clubs. Members of The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and other contemporaries have spoken about the electric atmosphere of the band, and People Get Ready stands as one of the records that proved a new wave of rock was not only possible, but inevitable. The Mooney Suzuki's raw, soul-infused attack set a tone that their peers absorbed, expanded, and carried into the global spotlight.
