The "lost album" of the modern klezmer big band known as the Rabbinical School Dropouts, Counterfeit Gelt is a reminder that when you put the right ingredients into the mix, fusion can be one tasty thing. The Dropouts have found a way to synthesize the music of several traditions into something uniquely their own. At times Latin Big Band and at times Zappa tribute band, the Dropouts have created a musical delight in Counterfeit Gelt.
"On their very short list of musical influences, each of the fine gentlemen that makes up the HS Dropouts list The Ramones. And it shows! From the vocals to the lyrics to the music, it's three chords, gabba gabba hey, all the way. Quite enjoyable." - CANDY FOR BAD CHILDREN
Among today's most important Italian punk rock bands, the Highschool Dropouts strike with the follow-up to their excellent self-titled debut. No longer in search of the `70s Ramones style that marked their previous works, Rivalry sounds like plain and simple rock. Fuzzed-out guitars, distorted bass and mammoth-stomp drums are the recipes for an astonishing new full-length effort - 10 brand-new tunes recorded during the blizzard of February 2005 at the infamous Elfo Studios in central Italy.
