FRIDAY FEBRUARY 4TH, 10 PM
GARY LUCAS & GODS AND MONSTERS at the BOWERY POETRY CLUB, 308 Bowery, NYC, $15
with Ernie Brooks (bass) and Billy Ficca (drums), plus special guests
“The trio is mindblowing, and the songs, generally the last priority in chops-heavy music, are ace." --K. Leander Williams, Time Out New York
FRIDAY FEBRUARY 11th, 11:45PM
GARY LUCAS & GODS AND MONSTERS play a benefit for GOD'S LOVE WE DELIVER, the NYC based charity for AIDS victims Pussycat Lounge, 96 Greenwich Street, NYC, $10 with Jason Trachtenberg, Black Flamingo, Patty Rothberg, Housewives on Prozac, and other artists
“Gods and Monsters rocks, without footnotes." --Ben Ratliff, New York Times
........................................................................ .......................................
RELEASED JANUARY 25TH WORLDWIDE:
FAST 'N BULBOUS, THE CAPTAIN BEEFHEART PROJECT featuring GARY LUCAS, arranged by PHILLIP JOHNSTON New album “PORK CHOP BLUE AROUND THE RIND" on CUNEIFORM RECORDS
Check David Fricke's review from the new Rolling Stone:
“Don Van Vliet--the titanic voice and blues-dada composer also known as Captain Beefheart--surrendered to the cruelties of the music business after his 1982 LP Ice Cream for Crow, dissolving the last of his Magic Bands and retiring to the full-time peace of painting. Rock is a lesser thrill without him. But Fast 'N' Bulbous are no next best thing: They are the big brass band he never had. With bellowing horns arranged by saxophonist Phillip Johnston and pinpoint swordplay by ex-Magic Band guitarist Gary Lucas, Fast 'N' Bulbous ignite the R&B gunpowder inside the tangled surrealism of “Suction Prints" and “Pachuco Cadaver." The group attacks Van Vliet's songs with the same idiosyncratic precision that he drilled into his own musicians. Fast 'N' Bulbous also reveal a vital truth about this music: You can dance to it."
