MUSIC FOR NEIGHBORS

Pravda's release of "Music for Neighbors" marks the 40th anniversary of the formation of The Trypes in the blue-collar New Jersey town of Haledon, NJ, which was the hometown of The Feelies and later spawned kindred bands Yung Wu and The Willies. How Haledon became an incubator for these bands, who went on to spread their sound far and wide, is a matter of speculation.
