| Anax (Seattle, WA) | Posted: Mar 19, 2013 - 15:59 Okay, it's catchy, it's tuneful, but damn, why do I have to hear so many Jesus songs? |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Mar 19, 2013 - 15:58 Jesus saves, but Moses scores on the rebound. Ok, sorry about the unoriginal joke, but I lack imagination - we all have our crosses to bear :o) I'll get me toga... |
| nutsbolts | Posted: Sep 12, 2012 - 07:41 OK does anybody know what ever happened to Sonia Dada? A friend said he saw them this summer in Denver, but I don't believe him. I LOVE them, and saw them every New Years' Eve in Boulder for many years. sigh |
| Chi_Editrix (Chi) | Posted: Sep 12, 2012 - 07:37 Keep on playing my homies! A very underappreciated band. |
| bjesch | Posted: Jun 09, 2012 - 19:05 One of my all-time favorite groups. Songs never fail to put a smile on my face and a groove in my feet! And their 'great songs' list is a long one: Lester's, New York City, Phases of the Moon, Planes & Satellites, You Ain't Thinking, You Don't Treat Me... Would love to hear all these (and more) in the RP playlist more often! |
| Travelfan160 | Posted: Mar 06, 2012 - 12:04 Sonia! Where have you been all these years?! I heard the vocals and my thoughts immediately went to Lester's! Woohoo! Thanks Bill! |

Which is a good thing to sound like. If I'm not mistaken, that background you refer to was basically, if not precisely, Little Feat. And, I couldn't agree more: good thing! |
| hippiechick (topsy turvy land) | Posted: Dec 02, 2011 - 06:25 Wow! Been a long time since I have heard these guys! |
| scraig (Santa Barbara, CA) | Posted: Aug 29, 2011 - 12:50 gunna have to go home and blow the dust off of this album |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Jun 27, 2011 - 17:30 Oh, come on - only two songs by these guys? Where's "Screaming John" and "Paradise" and "You Don't Treat Me No Good No More"? There are a bunch of great songs by Sonia Dada. Which reminds me - I have GOT to find all my Sonia Dada CDs and get some of that stuff uploaded onto my MP3 player. |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Aug 15, 2010 - 15:51 First time I ever heard Sonia Dada was a song called "Screaming John" and it was so passionate and powerful that it had me frozen in awe. I love pretty much everything they've ever done - a VERY talented buncha guys!  |
| Stefen (West Hollywood, CA) | Posted: Jul 14, 2010 - 18:11 Hot album photo! |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: May 12, 2010 - 03:38 Jesus saves! Then Old Nick latches onto the loose ball and scores from the rebound. I'll get me coat... |
| sirdroseph (Outer Mongolia) | Posted: Dec 05, 2009 - 11:42 Pretty cool, I caught more of a gospel vibe to this tune though.  |
| DaveInVA (In a crumbling Queen Anne mansion in Damnville, VA) | Posted: Dec 05, 2009 - 11:39 I thought it was Stevie Wonder at first and "wondered" why I hadn't heard it before.... |

| superfido (Sweden) | Posted: Nov 21, 2008 - 11:11 Sounds like a TV show song.  like a new version of Different Strokes or something |

| linden (Santa Cruz, CA) | Posted: Apr 14, 2008 - 14:28 Yes, and there are many Sonia Dada songs that are even better than this one. I'd like to start hearing some of them here! |
| oufason (Dallas, TX) | Posted: Apr 14, 2008 - 14:28 I dont think they have ever put out a bad CD. |
| susanjinx1 | Posted: Apr 14, 2008 - 14:27 Love that real feel good beat and the vocal harmony is most outstanding!!! |

Anyone else get that? Maybe on the beat.. but the vocals are far beyond Palmer's range. This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. |
| Jelani (Home of the freak, land of the vague) | Posted: Feb 11, 2008 - 15:32 This has a real Robert Palmer feel to it. Anyone else get that? It's a good thing. (Martha Stewart knd of feel to that) bad thing. |
| randomprime | Posted: Nov 09, 2007 - 09:20 I've been a Sonia Dada fan since living in Chicago in the mid nineties, however I didn't know until today that the guitarist is Daniel Pritzker. According to Forbes there are only 180 Americans richer than him. Hats off to the billionaire rock-star. |
| eastcoast | Posted: Nov 09, 2007 - 09:06 Ilike this actually |
| kimschoice (Bosstown) | Posted: Jun 05, 2007 - 06:22 Nice! and a complete surprise RP! This band's music is my "having a not so hot day and need a little something..." Lay Down and Love it Live is great. Gives you an idea of how they are live. |

| undo_silence (www.undosilence.de) | Posted: Jan 22, 2007 - 08:46 first thought: Stevie Wonder |
| ThePoose | Posted: Jan 22, 2007 - 08:45 Kindly segue into James Brown singing Popcorn |

| optimusprime10 (the 'bu) | Posted: Nov 10, 2006 - 12:06 that bass-y keyboard part sounds like uncle rico's theme music from napoleon dynamite. wow, i can't believe i just mentioned that movie. |
| eastcoast | Posted: Nov 10, 2006 - 12:05 reminds me of Talking Heads |

Just curious... how are these drums annoying to you? I'd love to know, cuz i thats sort of how I play drums..... |
