“THE BAND IS MINDBLOWING!"--TIME OUT NEW YORK
“AN UNDERGROUND ROCK FAN'S DREAM TEAM"--THE NEW YORKER
ADVANCE PRAISE FOR 'COMING CLEAN" from THE SUNDAY TIMES (UK):
“In the early 1980s, Lucas helped Captain Beefheart get his second and final wind. In the 1990s, an unknown vocalist he was nurturing, Jeff Buckley, split to make Lucas's best songs cornerstones of his own repertoire. Now, Lucas's band, Gods and Monsters, are back, featuring his discreetly perplexing guitar and friends ... when the New York Dolls' David Johansen channels Beefheart into 'One Man's Meat,' Coming Clean catches fire."
