Matt Piucci Of Rain Parade: Return To The Paisley Underground
Click the play button to listen
Rain Parade helped define LA's Paisley Underground scene in the early '80s, creating music with psychedelic textures and punk energy. Their 1983 debut Emergency Third Rail Power Trip (Enigma), remains a touchstone album of the era, cited as an influence by everyone from My Bloody Valentine to the Stone Roses.
Now Matt and the band are revisiting their catalog with deluxe reissues, including the newly expanded Crashing Dream (Island), their so-called "lost double album" from 1985. It's part of an ongoing project that's given Matt a fresh perspective on work that continues to find new audiences decades later.
