Mixer: Joe and Amanda Ziemba

Mix Title: "British Invasion Rarities 1962-1965"

New City's Dave Chamberlain explains why Joe and Amanda Ziemba from Chicago's The Like Young made it on to his 2004 list-article "Ten Bands On The Verge":

"Both of the band's Parasol releases, 2003's "Art Contest" and this year's "So Serious" are tight, energetic and absolutely packed with rock-'em, sock-'em guitar pop from beginning to end. With Joe slinging a six string guitar and applying just-to-the-right-of-emo vocals, and Amanda pounding the drums and interjecting soft backing vocals and the occasional lead, they've found a place in the lexicon of duet rockers."

Joe and Amanda chose to focus on a distinct time period for their mix, much like last year when they chose Joe Meek as their mix's focus. IF you were thinking of bidding on Eric Colin's mix, you may want to check this one out as well (or vice versa).
