About the Octave Museum

We are the Octave Museum. We make music for humans and non-humans alike. Many, many electric devices are used in this process. Many, many electric devices are used in most every process in this current version of the World.

The industrial revolution has produced the big black smoke and the motor traffic rumble, but it has also given us the electric guitar, the SK-1 and affordable home recording devices that are available to almost anyone with such inclinations. The Octave Museum owes a great deal to these sound making/recording doo dads and gadgets--especially the lovely soon-to-be-extinct devices known as "4-track recorders".

However, we would prefer to think that if you were to take away all of our wonderful toys and left us with our voices and maybe an acoustic guitar--we could still play you our songs in thier lovely, natural form, and hopefully you would enjoy them just as much, but in a slightly different way.

Do you follow?
Excellent.

It is with this in mind that we will continue to create songs for the Universe. To be able to use all of the wonderfull things that the mind and hand of Man has built, but not to be dependent upon them. Hopefully this ideal will carry over into the rest of our lives...

Muchas gracias, amigas y amigos.

Chrome Peeler Records	Oct 14 2007 10:05 AM THEE ELECTRIC BASTARDS "Live! At Club Awesome" CD CHROME PEELER RECORDS Featuring members of CLOUDS, OCTAVE MUSEUM, HYDRONAUT and PET GENIUS, and produced by Stephen Brodsky of CAVE IN and NEW IDEA SOCIETY, "Live! At Club Awesome" is a 11-song STUDIO recording of the band playing live at their rehearsal space. Boston's Thee Electric Bastards, whose expansive psych-pop falls somewhere in among Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd, the Zeppelin end of the White Stripes catalogue (but only if it was scored by an Elephant Six band), and Yoshimi-type Flaming Lips. And if that seems like an awful lot of territory, well, they cover a hell of a lot of it. With songs about futuristic life (Robots Do Not Rock) blatant machismo (The Peepin' Song, Play The Fool), alcoholism and mental health (Millennium Blues, Black Jets), The Bastards have allowed the listener a peek into their sordid little world, where society's ills and fears are celebrated. All of The Bastards songs are well crafted slices of weirdness, with compelling breaks in the music that are sometimes jarring in effect. It harkens back to the days when rock music was more experimental, and less formulaic. RIYL: PIXIES, SYD BARRETT, FLAMING LIPS THEE ELECTRIC BASTARDS MYSPACE AVAILABLE FOR $7 DIRECTLY FROM CHROME PEELER RECORDS WWW.CHROMEPEELER.COM
