In his review of their last album, Stereo Embers’ Paul Gleason wrote of The Baseball Project: “…The indie rock supergroup consisting of Steve Wynn of The Dream Syndicate, Scott McCaughey of The Young Fresh Fellows and The Minus 5, Linda Pitmon, and Mike Mills and Peter Buck of R.E.M. is on a winning streak. Filled with strong hooks and some truly great baseball poetry, their most recent album, 3rd, is yet another infectious delight for any fan of power pop and the national pastime.”

I couldn’t agree more.

I caught the band at Garcia’s in New York the other night and they were nothing short of awesome.

They were tight, relaxed and totally in the pocket. Every song had punch and power and I had a blast.

It was a killer show and a fabulous night.
