Thin Lizard Dawn were a 1990s American rock group from New York who released two major label albums on RCA Records in the late 1990s. They are probably most widely known for their first CD release, ''Thin Lizard Dawn'' which was released in 1996. The CD featured the single ''Sexual Dynamo'', in addition to the song ''Sucks'' ridiculing Oasis. The band's label however, had difficulty marketing the band and dropped them after the release of their second album. ==History== Thin Lizard Dawn was formed in the early 1990s when all four members were students at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, and they later relocated to Manhattan. Mike Gagliardi replaced original bassist Ken Fermaglich.〔 The band was signed to RCA Records in late 1995, who released two albums. ''Thin Lizard Dawn'' was released in late 1996. It featured the single "Sexual Dynamo", as well as the song "Sucks" ridiculing Oasis. ''Babysue'' reviewed the album and called it "one of the strongest debut discs I have ever heard", and described its sound as "techno-bubblegum," meaning "extremely upbeat and catchy, but the lyrics have an obtuse quality that transcend mere pop."〔 On the other hand, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of allmusic gave the album a negative review, that while sometimes the "group makes a hook hit home with their brute force," most of the album "is simply style over substance, and someone else's style, at that."〔(Allmusic review ), Retrieved November 14, 2010〕 Their follow-up album, ''Go'', was released in October 1999, with "Get It" designated as the first single. They disbanded in 2000. Two of the band's songs, "Weed" and "Under the Wing", were used in the 2000 film Cruel Intentions 2. Bands that Thin Lizard Dawn toured with include Matchbox 20, Lenny Kravitz, G-Love, and The Lemonheads. 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「Thin Lizard Dawn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
