the boneless children foundation: 'stars for anyone'
By the Boneless Children Foundation, a rock band.
The Boneless Children Foundation are a rock band out of San Francisco
for whom I am the band-leader, lead vocalist, guitarist, and primary
song-writer. We self-released our debut album in late 2007,
and have achieved some reasonable national non-commercial radio play
already, which is pretty cool. I'll post the stats & results soon enough.
In the mean-time, here's the music. Enjoy!
All songs by David Sophia Siegel and arranged by The Boneless Children Foundation. Mastering by John Greenham.

And here's some press surrounding the album:
"With Stars for Anyone, The Boneless Children Foundation has created a massive
album that swerves and boogies with classic rock n' roll riffs and delightfully
quirky and engaging lyrics. The songs overflow with ideas, while musical passages
are juxtaposed in a way that suggests the giddiness of a band like Sparks.
...[David Sophia Siegel is] a reckless lead vocalist who shouts, croons, pleads,
and sings over the carefully crafted music with such emotion that you can't help
but listen to what he's trying to say."
"Siegel’s also a wild and thrilling guitar player who makes his songs chug and
squeal like T.Rex or Television. But he isn't hanging his hat solely on his stellar
guitar heroics. Many of these songs are crafted with pop hooks and melodic touches
that satisfy like the Cars or David Bowie. The Boneless Children Foundation's
combination of epic rock maneuvers and classic pop melodies reminds me of Weezer,
but with rootsier rock influences that will appeal to fans of the White Stripes or
Two Gallants. Stars for Anyone is self-recorded, and the album’s lo-fi tone has a
rawness that contrasts nicely with the complexity of each song's arrangement." --->
— Jeff Bissell, Wiretap Music
"A mix of poetry, punk, glam rock – they know how to put on a good show."
— Una LaMarche, Black Book Online
"Don't worry about sending money: These three guys have all the bones they
need. They make a plenty-noisy punk-rock racket, tempered by humor and just
the right touch of melody.”
— Nate Seltenreich, The East Bay Express
"The title track from Boneless Children Foundation’s brand new album Stars
for Anyone is a wonderful slice of indie rock."
— The Bay Bridged
"... apt and off-kilter ... some very exciting music ... ."
— Pat Craig, The Contra Costa Times
"... notoriously Dead Milkmen-esque ..."
— Hiya Swanhuyser, The SF Weekly
"The Boneless Children Foundations new CD "Stars For Anyone" is a throwback
to a time when humor in music mattered. BCF writes catchy lyrics, engaging
melodies and if sex appeal were sound the whole bay area would be deaf."
— Paco Romane, of pacoromane.com and Free Dirt Media.
