Sideshow ‎– Lip Read Confusion (1995)


Lip Read Confusion was the third and final full length put out by Bernie Mcginn’s (founder of Caulfield Records) band Sideshow. Because he was unable to put the album out on Caulfield due to its busy release schedule at the time he released the album on Flydaddy Records. Lip Read Confusion was the cumination of all the hard work and evolution of a band that started in the late 80s and was originally a hardcore band. The album was released in 1995 and the band broke up shortly after. The vinyl was put out on Caulfield.

Emo. Stupid name, but once a perfectly acceptable and listenable form of music. Perhaps time is turning the "e" word into a love/hate badge of pride, or it's still an incurable disease, I don't know. I would say the third wave has ruined it for everyone. Sure as hell ruined it for me.

So. Sideshow was a trio that hailed from Lincoln, Nebraska and along with KC's Boys Life and Giants Chair, were the "indie rock" faction of the Midwestern scene (a verbose way of saying "Sideshow was an indie rock band"). To my knowledge they put out four 7" singles, one vinyl album and two albums on CD. I would do an entire discography but I have no means of ripping vinyl right now, so you'll take what I give ya. I should mention that bass player Bernie McGinn operated the mighty Caulfield Records which also released the majority of the Sideshow discography.

As it was likely a love for Sideshow that brought you here in the first place, then i'll spare you my achingly inaccurate descriptions (except the mess above). If not, then bask in the sunny Midwestern greatness and decide for yerself.
