Editorial Reviews

Big Umbrella: Ever Ever Land! 1996 Racer Records Release! Big Umbrella's third CD has a heavy, aggressive sound. Massive guitars saturate the intimate "Oil", and a wall of vocals swells under the choruses of "Soak It Up." Even the poppier tunes ("Easily Maim the Lion," "Tasty") benefit from the bite and kick of this album's grittier musical direction. TRACKS: 1. Slither; 2. Bottom Feeder; 3. Super Slide; 4. Easily Maim the Lion; 5. Nothings Too High; 6. Lifter; 7. Use a Gun; 8. Soak It Up; 9. Bait; 10. Flower Head; 11. Oil; 12. Tasty; & 13. Happy as Clams.

5.0 out of 5 stars All Over the Map, October 20, 1998

Big Umbrella's latest is not as listener-friendly as previous efforts. Lead singer/songwriter Russell Osiecki has moved away from the socio-political darkness of Guru, to embrace a more psychedelic posture. Songs like "Oil," if given a chance, will find allow the listener to find redemption in the musical risks taken.

I bought Big Umbrella when I heard that this Band was a few very Old Friends...Russell and Derek Osieki and their awesome Drummer Eddie Cleland. These guys have been around under various names since the late seventies...you gotta support Friends! So of course I bought the CD's on Amazon. : ) Russell Osieki is a great song writer and now lives in Southern California, Derek is still located in Las Vegas and Eddie Cleland is still bangin it up in the L.A. Club Scene. You can find Derek on Facebook and Eddie on Facebook and MySpace these days. Talented People individually and as a Group.
