On the front of Gigolo Aunts' debut RCA album, "Flippin' Out," a very thin woman sitting on a bar stool bites into a ripe green apple.
The analogy of Chloe's illusive charm aptly describes the Gigolo Aunts' situation.
Gigolo Aunts migrated to Boston, where it was intimidating at first, but eventually they won over the city and other bands because "we were sincere about what we were doing.

 InternetEd Reviews: Gigolo Aunts- Pacific Ocean Blues   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The Gigolo Aunts have played a similar form of easygoing melodic alternative rock for about a decade now and Pacific Ocean Blues is proof that they’re not changing styles anytime soon.
While it would seem to point to a lack of creativity on the Gigolo Aunts’ part that they haven’t changed their sound one bit since the days of their single, “Where I Find My Heaven,” it would also be pointless for the band to change after they’ve perfected their sound.
For the melodic alt-rock fan, the Gigolo Aunts’ Pacific Ocean Blues will offer nothing new, although it is full of catchy and exceptionally harmonic songs that stick with you long after the album is finished playing.

 DOA - Gigolo Aunts - Pacific Ocean Blues
Gigolo Aunts was one of a vast number of bands that seemed to rise to popularity in the mid-90s rush of major labels to sign every "alternative" act they could get their hands on.
Originally I assumed the Gigolo Aunts had been out of the picture since their mid-90s flourish, but that's far from the case.
Much in the way Sloan and the Posies have leant their own unique sound and enthusiasm to the retro-minded style, the Gigolo Aunts' jangly power-pop is still tight, catchy, and fun, even if it's not remarkably original.

 Gigolo Aunts: Pacific Ocean Blues - PopMatters Music Review
Born out of a hodgepodge of ideas and locations, the end results reflect no hints of any such turmoil, only a solidly executed and well-produced (by Chris Horvath) block of music that showcases an impressive range of rockers and ballads.
When the need to rock arose, former Gigolo Aunt Phil Hurley and Cavedog Mark Rivers (on guitar and drums, respectively) sat in on a few sessions.
The title song (whose title was borrowed from Dennis Wilson) features the fingerpicking of Mike Lennon, as he does the Gigolo Aunts distant musical cousin to Ralph McTell's "Streets of London".

 Gigolo Aunts: Music in San Francisco
Not when you figure that the Counting Crows and the Gigolo Aunts are old buddies, touring together in the days before the Crows mega-success and the Aunts near-descent into oblivion.
Or that, being a buddy and a fan, Duritz helped the Aunts leave their old stifling label, and, heavens be praised, brought them on to his label, E Pluribus Unum.
Well, the Aunts released a new full-length album, Minor Chords and Major Themes, last week and their Slim's show was so well publicized that when frontman, Dave Gibbs, asked the strangely animated San Francisco crowd if they'd ever heard of the Gigolo Aunts before, quite a few admitted they hadn't.

 Splendid E-zine reviews: Gigolo Aunts
Though signed to that dreadlocked Counting Crow guy's label, the Gigolo Aunts are a far cry from "Crowdom." Having patiently formulated their sound since 1989, and being glaringly ignored by RCA in 1994, I figured the Aunts would've given up by now.
Ignoring the need for any pompous puffery, "C'mon C'mon" whisks out some affable guitar riffs and simple, soulful vocals that are practically the epiphany of pop music as we know it: catchy, bouncy, full of finesse and immediately accessible.
Yeah, sure, it sounds like Shampoo, but the Gigolo Aunts know how to get gritty with the tempestuous rock riffing of "Super Ultra Mega Wicked Mega Love" -- a song that seems to sing about nothing, yet sinks in just as quickly as any of those profound, lyrical head-spinners.

 Gigolo Aunts - Minor Chords and Major Themes, Pacific Ocean Blues Review
I know a lot of people may have thought the Gigolo Aunts had dropped off the face of the earth but they are indeed still plugging away at the music thing for their hardcore fans.
It has some of the catchiest hooks ever heard from the Aunts and it's got horns to boot.
Having been an Aunts fan since their early inception I may be a bit biased towards a new album.

 TrouserPress.com :: Gigolo Aunts
The Gun EP added another essential number (the sardonic title track) to the slowly expanding canon and furthered the sense (in Britain, at least) that the Aunts were an American answer to Teenage Fanclub.
It didn't hurt that the bands shared a UK label, or that the group had made "Serious Drugs," a song by the BMX Bandits, a live staple.
The transatlantic release hopscotch continued when California's Alias label remixed "Bloom," adding two B-sides from the Gun EP, one from Gigolo Aunts, a dreamy studio recording of "Serious Drugs" and the instrumental "Little Carl" to create Full-On Bloom, something of a premature greatest hits.

 VH1.com : Gigolo Aunts : Biography
The group -- comprised of vocalist/guitarist Dave Gibbs, brothers Phil and Steve Hurley (on lead guitar and bass, respectively) and drummer Phil Brouwer -- went through a series of subsequent names like Marauder and Rosetta Stone before settling on Gigolo Aunts (a suggestion from Gibbs' father) and moving to Boston in 1986.
While overseas, Gibbs made a number of crucial contacts with the likes of Creation Records' Alan McGee and the members of Teenage Fanclub, and interest in the Gigolo Aunts began to build.
After Gibbs and Phil Hurley turned down offers to join the reunited Big Star, they issued the 1995 EP Where I Find My Heaven; shortly after its release, Phil Hurley was replaced by Jon Skibic and Brouwer was replaced by Fred Eltringham.

 My Favorite Regret by Gigolo Aunts: Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The last two Gigolo Aunts albums were each '90s power pop classics but sat at extreme opposite ends of the pop spectrum.
Flippin' Out, with its unruly solos, closely resembled hard rock and grunge, while the adult contemporary trappings of Minor Chords and Major Themes bore more of a resemblance to Fleetwood Mac than Big Star.
Fans were often divided, then, when discussing which Gigolo Aunts was better: the rock band or the pop band, and since there was so little middle ground in the two...

Like heavy metal, power pop refuses to die, and the Gigolo Aunts, one of the genre’s keenest proponents, are still making records.
The former Boston quartet (they’re now based in LA) follow up 1999’s glossy Minor Chords and Major Themes with an effervescent batch of crunchy rockers and willowy ballads.
It’s too bad that just as they decided to take some time off from touring, the Gigolo Aunts had to go and release one of the best albums of their career.

Five years after their excellent album Flippin' Out, Gigolo Aunts returned with a new album for a new label: E Pluribus Unum, founded by Adam Duritz of Counting Crows.
Unfortunately, Minor Chords and Major Themes is a bit of a letdown for fans who had waited years for a follow-up to one of the decade's best indie-pop albums.
