The Bedouins…
“Alternative rockers The Bedouins have released their first full-length cassette, Singularity. The music kicks off with a joyous and carefree accordion riff, and jams out righteously through 15 tunes.”
The Progmire Syndrome…
“A diverse mixing of sounds, styles and feelings that sound fresh.”
John Rivito, The Post-Standard”Joe Michael Plessas attacks with righteous ferocity at times, coaxes with pleading passion at others.”

The Bedouins reunion - 12.27.01…
“The Bedouins reunion has been just as long in the making, and seeing them this evening was a reminder of how much flavor is missing from the current local scene. Joe Plessas captivated the audience with his eerie vocal delivery. Balancing out his Jim Morrison meets Morrisey vocals, were groove-heavy rhythms, compliments of the Kane brothers. No easy task, given the intensely intricate patterns that the music lends itself to. Over all this, AJ Mann adds a heavy-mellowness to the music, with his slow burning trumpet solos, or his textured keyboard playing.”"Even after so many years absent from the scene, both bands attracted a substantial crowd. It seems apparent that there is still a demand for the unique sounds that each band conjures. Once every seven years seems so infrequent, but if these bands still sound this good in 2008, they can expect to see me in the audience.”
