2007
rock, accordion, novelty, polka, pop: Stuffed with chuckle-worthy songs in a brain-melting mix of styles, Squeeze Machine's grab bag is practically bursting with original tunes, from the polka-fied blue-collar humor of "A Glass of Beer" (a raucous duet with Drew Carey), to a pair of straight-ahead squeezebox-fueled rockers ("This Song's Got Money Written All Over It" and "The Janitor Knows," an ode to every high school's unsung hero). The CD swings from swampy New Orleans shuffle to international cabaret, and swerves from hilarious hoedown music to funky fun. Squeeze Machine is the band's most ambitious recording yet and features new members Susie Davis (Billy Idol, Mick Jagger, Sheila E.), Carri Abrahms, and Michael Messer.

2004
rock, accordion, novelty, polka, pop: TDA's sixth release finds the San Francisco-based band once again powering through an electric set of original, squeezebox-fueled rock and pop songs. The new CD is (of course) infused with TDA's easygoing humor and wry take on the world with (gasp!) even a bit of heartwarming sentiment stirred into the eclectic musical melting pot. "Lawnball" also finds the band breaking out of the ''all accordions, all the time" mode with a few special guest spots: Bay Area artists lending a hand include Nik Phelps (trumpet) and Jim Rothermel (clarinet). While accordions are still undeniably the name of the game on "Lawnball," the additional instruments are a happy addition to the sonic mix; bandleader Paul Rogers couldn't resist sprinkling in some piano and acoustic guitar as well. Classic rockers Edgar Winter and Led Zeppelin get the nod this time around for TDA's twisted cover treatment, with a blistering version of Winter's "Frankenstein" and a wailing medley of Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" and "Black Dog" rounding out the record. The Zeppelin medley features new band member Susie Davis on lead vocals. She is a veteran of the rock arenas, with an impressive list of major tours to her credit, including stints with Sheila E, Mick Jagger, Daryl Hall, Pat Benatar and Melissa Etheridge. TDA also welcomes vocalist/accordionist Carri Abrahms into the fold on "Lawnball." Her credits include the San Francisco Symphony Choir as well as a tour of duty with San Francisco-based band Rosin Coven. TDA veterans Suzanne Garramone (accordion, vocals), Lewis Wallace (bass guitar) and Bill Schwartz (drums) complete the package.

2001
rock, accordion, novelty, polka: The new 6 song EP that captures the band's squeezebox-fueled sonic assault in all it's glory. On "Amped", the band pumps out four catchy songs chronicling life in the weird lane: "Serious World," "Mr Slagle's Revenge," "Enter the Douse," and "Meaning of Life." Along with these originals, the band includes covers of Steppenwolf's rock anthem "Magic Carpet Ride" and a raucous version of "Making Our Dreams Come True" (better known as the theme from "Laverne & Shirley").

1999
rock, accordion, novelty, polka: The clown princes (& princesses) of accordion come back in full force, pushing their limitless sonic possibilities - in hard rock, traditional polkas & instrumental tangos. Originals about aliens ("They Came for Accordions"), couch-potato therapy ("Kick My Butt"), bluegrass nightmares ("Hippie With a Banjo") and a disaster that transpired in San Luis Obispo's famed Bubblegum Alley ("Wall of Gum"). Polka fans can enjoy a Tex-Mex tale of torment ("Mucho De Nada") and bounce to a BBQ blast with rollicking vocals by 84-year-old tattooed crooner Clyde Forsman ("First Bratwurst of Summer"). A TDA! tradition, accordion "enhancements" of classics continues with War's "Low Rider" and Devo's "Uncontrollable Urge." ...fun, quirky & pure dynamite.

1996
rock, accordion, novelty, polka: This San Francisco-based band's latest recording, captures the group's quirky worldview and squeezebox-fueled sound, produced by Scott Mathews (John Hiatt, Dick Dale).This time out, TDA offers discerning listeners original rock songs about Japanese sci-fi thrillers: "Mothra" and '60s visionaries: "Them Hippies Was Right" and an original polka featuring a ripping solo accordion by the legendary Dick Contino (as does "Mambo Triste"):"The Hotsy Totsy Polka",and freaks of other sorts: "Hamsterman", and the Loch Ness monster:"Deathbed Confession" and brand-new instrumentals, offering a taste of the band's more-traditional side: "Paco's Dream" and "Ramune." Another TDA! tradition -- accordion "enhancements" of classic rock songs -- continues with a startling rendition of The Who's "Baba O'Riley" and 81-year-old Clyde Forsman's coy version of Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy"
