Cola Kids Hanging Out in the Bubble
Dome reeks of that distinctive "punk
gone wrong" scent. While remaining
strongly rooted in the stripped down
three chord garage punk structure,
there is an underlining weirdness that
is hard to pin point. A weirdness that
only comes from writing your own rule
book and then breaking every single
goal you've set for yourself. This
record epitomizes the look and feel of
creating for the sake of creating. (and
getting it done as quickly as possible.)
Armed with a four track and few
borrowed instruments, Cola Kids
Hanging Out in the Bubble Dome is an
example of what can happen when too
many resources are too readily
available. Yet still remain self
contained.
This record didn't just come out of nowhere though. Adam Widener had spent a
considerable amount of time playing in a variety of punk and garage bands
through the years starting with The Jet Set and then eventually taking a
multitude of roles in bands like Plexi 3, The Zygoteens, and most currently, Bare
Wires. It was after his tenure with Bare Wires that he decided to strike out on
his own and make the music that he liked and wanted to hear.

"I had a ton of songs and demos under my belt, but no real outlet for them. All
the other bands I've been in, I've always played the 'back up guy'. So there
wasn't much room for my contribution." After moving to the Bay Area from the
Midwest in the summer of 2010, Adam began putting his songs on tape. "I had
been writing a lot of stuff, but it wasn't until I started recording them did the
prospect of releasing a record come into play. It was all pretty spontanious. Hell,
more than half this record was recorded in a Los Angeles motel room. After
Zabby and Big Action stepped in, everything fell into place. I'm not making these
records for anyone but myself. It's not meant to be taken very seriously. I mean,
isn't that what punk rock is?"
