(see YouTube for links to other videos from this show)
It will be officially released on January 20th, when it will be available from iTunes, Amazon.com and your local quality record dealer.
Cuneiform press release:
Captain Beefheart's music is the quintessential 'outsider art music' of the second half of the 20th century. Despite the fact that he retired from music over 25 years ago, his music resonates more strongly than ever as an influence on contemporary music.
Fast 'n' Bulbous offer a unique slant on the songbook of one of contemporary music's most idiosyncratic musical figures. The band features seven great, well-regarded musicians drawn from the rock and the jazz worlds: co-leaders guitarist Gary Lucas (who was in the final incarnation of Beefheart's Magic Band) and saxist/arranger Phillip Johnston (of the Microscopic Septet) as well as drummer Richard Dworkin, and baritone saxist Dave Sewelson (both also of the Micros), trombonist Joe Fieldler (Ed Palermo Big Band and Satoko Fujii's big band), bassist Jesse Krakow (of Time of Orchids and Doctor Nerve) and trumpeter Rob Heinke (also of Doctor Nerve).
With a strong, creative line-up like this, you know that you will be getting something more than just a 'cover band' and you indeed are. Heartfelt, exciting and it both rocks and swings!
Watch a vidcast of the Captain Beefheart Tribute Night, curated by Gary Lucas, at The Knitting Factory, on April 9th, 2008.
"Remarkably, these instrumentals hold onto Beefheart's obsessive strangeness, whch is really the best tribute that Lucas, Johnston and the rest of the Fast 'n' Bulbous crew could have given him." – All Music Guide
"[They] recast Captain Beefeart's tunes and make the case for him as a composer the equal of Thelonious Monk." – Nashville Scene
"They are the big brass band [Captain Beefheart] never had.... The group attacks Van Vliet's songs with the same idiosyncratic precision that he drilled into his own musicians." – Rolling Stone
"...Fast 'n' Bulbous has a field day with the Beefheart songbook, turning his raunch cubist blues into exhuberant jazz-tinged delights." – Chicago Sun Times
Songs: Woe-Is-Uh-Me-Bop, Trust Us: tracks from the new FnB CD, Waxed Oop!
(January 2009 release on Cuneiform Records)
Abba Zaba, Suction Prints: from Pork Chop Blue Around The Rind, Fast 'N' Bulbous' first CD on Cuneiform Records.
Pork Chop Blue Around The Rind: The inspiration for the title of our first album came from this extemporized, a capella blues sung by Don Van Vliet, recorded at Gary Lucas' apartment in NYC in July 1983. the night after Don appeared on the David Lettermen show for the second time.
Thanks a lot for the add ! EletriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check EletriKa out!
