THE INSOMNIACS "LEFT COAST BLUES" Source: KPOO  89.5 FM Date: 0/12008 Writer: Nole Hayes

JUMP and I said JUMP right from the start, as this band can play jump blues as good as anyone out there... Vyasa Dodson shows his guitar skills throughout this entire record and Dean Mueller thumps his way through a great debut record for Delta Groove... The band is driven by the sharp drumming of Dave Melvin and Alex Shakeri plays piano and keyboard, letting his skills show at the right moments... I went to see this band llive and they JUMP, Swing and Rock... great energy, talent and I am sure, great success... "Left Coast Blues" is full of great music from the opeining cut "Stick Around" to the last cut "No Wine, No Women" .. If you want to hear the future of the blues, this band is a great one to see....
