Review of our CD, L.R.DG. on Reverb Central
Legendary surf DJ and Enthusiast Phil Dirt reviewed L.R.D.G. on Reverb Central. As Mr. Dirt doesn't usually pull any punches in his reviews, we were delighted at the nice things he had to say about our songs. Dirt says about Long Range Desert Group, "Riders gallop across an open range where cactus grows and strangers lurk. "Long Range Desert Group" is a wonderful song with a spaghetti edge and a sultry lounge influence. This would be quite good on a coastal a drive with the top down. Spiffy!"

Review of our show at Otto's Shrunken Head 4/1/06
NESMA member Blue StingRaye had this to say about us on the NESMA message board:
"Next up was a band up from Baltimore, just for our viewing pleasure and it was aural pleasure too. El Patapsco is a unique 5 piece ensemble. What I noticed was 3 unusual choices in instruments:lovely Becky on a Roland Organ, Marc on a hollow body Gibson, and Mike on a hollow body Rickenbacker. There wasn't much reverb from the guitars, the organ provided the reverb instead. This trio was backed up by the rock solid rhythm section of Ted on bass and Mark on drums. This was my first time hearing El Patapsco, but I believe almost the entire set was originals, with one vocal, She's About A Mover (Sir Douglas Quintet), sung by Ted (bass). A nice surprise and the crowd really enjoyed it. Many of the songs such as The Rattler, Huevos Sowebos had a spaghetti twang with an emphasized on good interplay between the guitars and organ. Yamanote Line had slower poppy sound, almost like a love song."
