There are a lot of people who haven't yet encountered KC Bowman. Little known outside of di-hard pop circles, he has been writing and performing power pop songs in the style of XTC (with a bit of Apples in Stereo thrown in) for the last ten years. Great power pop tunes representing a somewhat skewed outlook on life (also think They Might Be Giants).Bowman was one of the original driving forces behind the California band Lawsuit . Since Lawsuit broke up in the mid 90s, He has presided over a loose configuration of like minded artists known as The Preoccupied Pipers. The ever changing roster of the Preoccupied Pipers take turns writing and singing and have released a string of great albums. I strongly recommend checking them out. There is great stuff on every Pipers release.
KC's solo album Fresher Tin Villages was released in 1998. In my opinion, it is an absolute classic - and KC has kindly made it available for download here. Don't miss this one!
To accompany Fresher Tin Villages, I've assembled a sampler of Preoccupied Pipers tracks with KC singing lead. This is great stuff, not to be missed. If you haven't heard him before, you are going to want entree into KC Bowman's world.

Wonderful KC. Thanks much for sharing this. What's the latest on the new PP album? Any plans for a number 2 solo album?
Constantly recording new stuff...just never sure what to do with it, other than post it on the PP facebook streaming music player, and/or post it for download on my box.net acct. I'm not quite organized enough to put together an album proper, either under the PP banner or the KCB banner...
KC. What kind of motivation would be enough to pull together a collection of your tracks and issue it electronically? There are a number of great Power Pop blogs (and their readers) that appreciate your work. I for one would love to hear and promote your work.
Haper
