about
Don Lennon is an independent musician from Massachusetts. Several interviewers have implied that the musician's name is a pseudonym. His style is often compared to that of Beat Happening, The Magnetic Fields and most notably fellow New Englander Jonathan Richman. Lennon was the guitarist and singer of the Boston-based band The Umpteens (sometimes incorrectly referred to as "The Endless Upteens"). Shortly after the group's breakup in 1997 during a performance at a local college, Lennon recorded his first solo album, Maniac. Many of the songs were originally played by The Umpteens during their tenure. His website states that some of these songs were written as early as 1993. The recurring theme through the album is that almost every track deals with parties (titles include "Party Coordinator", "Party In September" and "Turn The Living Room Into A Dance Floor"). Don Lennon, a quasi-autobiographical album, came in 1999. Much of the album's lyrical content spoke about the musician's trials and tribulations in the several previous years while playing concerts promoting Maniac. Known contributors to the album were Peter Linnane, Pete Weiss and "Dee Dee". Downtown was released in 2002 on the prominent independent label Secretly Canadian, and also received distrobution from Nail Distrobution. The theme of the record delt with the music industry, name checking Dave Matthews Band, Lenny Kravitz, The Mekons, Bongwater and John Cale (of The Velvet Underground). Bizarrely, Secretly Cana
