A punk fired rock'n'roll classicist
'According to Lode, the show in De Zwerver (Leffingeleuren) was 'a brilliant performance, simply sublime.' So now you’ve heard if from a fellow fan.
To be catalogued in the intense 'lo-fi garage-rock, pub-rock, power-pop…' section. Or according to The Guardian: 'what he most reminded me of was Jonathan Richman: stripping himself bare...'
Or also, at the time of his compelling live-shows and breakthrough CD Day Of The Dog: 'a punk-fired rock'n'roll classicist'.
Plus Iggy Pop in BBC programme: 'I really like Ezra Furman. I think the guy's got something. He's got a lot of wit and nerve.'
High praise for this American singer-guitarist with a rather significant surname and, by the way, it’s Ezra Furman & The Boyfriends in full. Ambiguous, flamboyant and androgynous as a Bowie in his best glam-rock period!
