The Continental Drifters were an American rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 1991 and dissolved in New Orleans, Louisiana about a decade later. Though the line-up changed several times, at one point the band comprised a kind of college rock/indie-rock/power pop supergroup, including as it did Peter Holsapple of The dB's, Mark Walton of The Dream Syndicate, Bangle Vicki Peterson and Susan Cowsill of The Cowsills.〔Derk Richardson, ("So Fresh And So Edgy: The Continental Drifters survive early music stardom" ), ''San Francisco Chronicle'', June 7, 2001.〕 On April 28, 2009, the group reunited for the fifth annual Threadhead Patry in New Orleans, LA during Jazz Fest daze between, followed by a show on May 1 at Carrollton Station, playing to a sold-out crowd. In 2015, Omnivore Recordings issued a double album retrospective focused on unreleased and live tracks from the band's long history.〔Randy Lewis, ("Listen to a new track from the Continental Drifters' coming retrospective" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', May 29, 2015.〕〔Lee Zimmerman, ("Drifted: In the Beginning & Beyond" (review) ), ''PopMatters'', July 30, 2015,.〕 In September the band, including all members from both the Los Angeles era and the later New Orleans manifestations, came together for fundraising concerts in New Orleans and Los Angeles.〔Brett Milano, ("Reunited, and It Feels So Good: Continental Drifters" ), ''OffBeat'', August 26, 2015.〕〔Alex Rawls, ("Continental Drifters - just an informal, laid-back supergroup" ), ''New Orleans Advocate'', September 10, 2015.〕 ==Discography== *"The Mississippi" b/w "Johnny Oops" (7"/45rpm, 1992, SOL) *''Continental Drifters'' (1994, Monkey Hill/2001, Razor & Tie) *"I Can't Let Go" (CD, 1995, Sing Hollies in Reverse, Eggbert) *"Christopher Columbus Transcontinental Highway" b/w "Meet On The Ledge" (7"/45rpm, 1997, Black Dog) *''Vermilion'' (CD, 1998, Blue Rose/1999, Razor & Tie) *"When You Dance, I Can Really Love" (CD, 1995, This Note's for You, Too: A Tribute to Neil Young, Inbetweens) *''Better Day'' (CD, 2001, Razor & Tie/Blue Rose) *''Listen, Listen'' (CDEP/10", 2001, Blue Rose) *''Nineteen Ninety-Three'' (CD, recorded 1993/released 2003, Blue Rose) *''Drifted: In The Beginning & Beyond ''(CD, released 2015, Omnivore Recordings) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Continental Drifters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
