RARE BIRD

Chris Warot has the answer: it's on a Rare Bird bootleg album, called "Rare Sympathy". This bootleg presents a concert that took place November 9, in 1970 at the Dtld Hall, in Berlin Germany, 11/9/1970. And yes, they played 'King Kong', and yes, it can also be found on this very bootleg.

TERRY BOZZIO & SCOTT THUNES

Did you know Terry Bozzio and Scott Thunes went to the same high school and had the same band teacher?
Sir Francis Drake in San Anselmo, CA

I went to the same school and Scott is a good friend of mine. I was looking at your site and  thought that might be an interesting connection to make.
I remember seeing Bozzio's name on the wall in the band room as recipient of a music scholarship in 1969, I believe. I don't think Scott actually took school band for very long - he was far ahead of the crowd.

AFROSKULL

From: Afroskull
Subject: Afroskull Mailing List 1/23/03

Greetings and salutations to all. After a brief hiatus, Afroskull is back to kick out the jams in 2004. We're going to be playing at lots of new venues in the near future, including a couple of gigs just around the corner:

Mark your Calendars!

Thursday 2/5 - The Lion's Den - 214 Sullivan St. - NYC - 9pm
This is our first gig in about two months, and our first gig in two years without horns. Expect a stripped-down heavy sound as Afroskull is transformed into a lean, mean funk-rock machine! Also note that this is our first gig at the Lion's Den. We want to get everybody out to this one so we can show them that we mean business.

Wednesday 2/18 - Hogs N' Heffers - 1st Ave. and 96th St. - NYC - 10:00pm
Join Afroskull as we bring the noise to the upper east side for the first time.

Saturday 2/21 - The Red Zone - 79-56 Metropolitan Ave - Queens - 11:15pm
Afroskull's first gig ever in Queens, a borough that can always use some more funk...

Also, we'll be returning to our monthly Parkside Lounge shows in March. Stay tuned for more details.

NYC STREET TEAM
As usual, Uncle Afroskull wants you! We are still collecting emails for our NYC street team. We need some more folks who are willing to hand out and / or drop off fliers at certain select shows and venues in Manhattan. Naturally, we can hook you up with all sorts of Afroskull goodies in return. If you're interested, contact streetteam@afroskull.com . Thanks to those who have already responded, we will be contacting you soon!

NEW RESIDENTS ALBUM

• the residents: wb:rmx
      (2004, cd, usa, cryptic)
  • There has been a lot happening, Residents-wise speaking. The Big Eyed Ones offered a complete album through their website around Christmas (or Brumalia as it was called in the pre-christian, pageant era, hence the title).
    And only one week later, they offered a pre-sale of WB:RMX, which you should read as "the Warner Brothers Remix" album. The Warner Brothers album was originally recorded (but never released) in 1971, and has been remixed for our pleasure.
    Essential.

Hello Residents enthusiast;

a simple note to let you know (in case you haven't been following along at residents.com) that there is a new Residents audio release. Sort of old and new: The Residents Warner Bros. Album Remix, or WB:RMX. A long time ago The Residents messed around with some tape devices and came up with a thing they called the Warner Bros Album, but have now taken to messing that old recording up quite a bit. This new lovechild is available in digipak/CD form right now from the Ralph America website. It is not limited, it is not numbered, it is not expensive. The Residents would like everyone to have one, so stop on by and pick one up.

Also, in Disfigured Night DVD news (since many are asking) the latest word from italy is that we will not be shipping the DFN DVD until the end of this month. In our defense, we had this thing wrapped up by Thanksgiving, but due to the holidays, and whatever sort of extra bit of guzzling goes on in Milan, we aren't getting our fab packages until the end of the month. our apologies, as we were told otherwise when we announced the presale. We know the wait will be worth it all.

Anyhow, we hope you all had a wonderful holiday experience, and are recovered from your family visits...
see you in the Ralph corner of the internet...
http://www.ralphamerica.com

Come and listen to songs submitted by fans like you in a tribute to The Residents!

Then, record your own!

JOHN TRUBEE

   "The behavior of a normal: he who smugly exalts
     in his passivity and compliance as would a sheep
     who remains in pasture even when the fence is down.
     This inert passivity and submission engenders PRIDE?
     In what kind of diseased, malformed creature?"

ZAPPA TRIBUTE ALBUM BY LEBOCAL

• le bocal: oh no!... just another frank zappa memorial barbecue!
      (2003, cd-pro, france, le chant du monde cdm 035)
  
  • Every once in a while, I get people asking me: "Why don't you make some sort of list at the end of the year of the really essential stuff?". And I always reply: "It's tough enough to keep up with everything that's being published. I don't want to put my time in such sort of thing".
    And then there is LeBocal. Well, if I were to make a list of essential 2003 releases, this album would certainly make my top five.
    LeBocal is a french collective of 17 professional musicians. "Oh No! ..." is their third album, and as you can imagine by the title, it's an all Zappa album. LeBocal is some sort of Modern Big Band. Very fine arrangements, beautiful interpretations and lots of room for improvisation / soloing. Special guests include Rita Marcotulli, Laurent Zeller (electric violin !!) and Glenn Ferris (on trombone, of course).
    My favorite tracks: 'Take Your Clothes Off...', 'King Kong', 'Mr.Green Genes' and 'Oh No! (vocal version)'.
    Enough said. Take it from someone who listens to Zappa's music every day. You need this.

THE MODERN BOG COVER COMPILATION * THE MODERN BOG COVER COMPILATION

• various artists: ghosts are very strong
      (2003, cdr, bel, lama 011)
  
  • Do you remember me being so excited about the Modern Bog cover compilation?
    Here's a bit of extra info:
    Modern Bog was a very obscure belgian band. I'm talking mid-eighties somewhere.
    Next up, at Lama Recordings?, is a reissue of of some original Modern Bog music.
    "Ghosts Are Very Strong" is an international tribute to Modern Bog.
    As I said last time: "If you're into the early Residents stuff, this is a must have ! You will keep on playing it until you can whistle it along."
  • And to celebrate this very Lama Recordings? release, I added some artwork of other belgian obscurities:
    

• les chiens comiques: on a ghostship to hollywood ep
      (1997, 7"ep, bel, lama recordings 001)
• jay phlitman & kim kangaroo: philip eats donuts in the jungle ep
      (1997, 7"ep, bel, lama recordings 002)
• phlitman & kangaroo: the x-mas with hugo ep
      (1998, cdr, bel, lama recordings 003)

But that didn't bother B'wana Dik and the Excentrifugal Force. They played a very relaxed and entertaining set.  I had a great time and I can only hope that drummer Ruud had a fine birthday party...
For me, one of the highlights was japanese slide-guitar player Satoshi Ueda participating in some excellent guitar soloing.

• line-up: maikel hendrikx: vocals * nico v.d. burgt: guitar * ike naar: bassguitar * ruud tiersma: drums * andré stijnen: sax * able groenewolt: violin * geert tiersma: vocals and lead guitar

They also have a demo out. More info a bit further.

I was a bit in doubt, because I had been informed that B'wana Dik and the Excentrifugal Force was going to play three 45-minute sets... In a small pub... Starting at 5.30 pm...

• line-up: maikel hendrikx: vocals * nico v.d. burgt: guitar * ike naar: bassguitar * ruud tiersma: drums * andré stijnen: sax * geert tiersma: vocals and lead guitar
• special guests: nicoline: violin, hans sanders: guitar, gerard: guitar, ??(nico's son): guitar
• set one (special guest: hans sanders)
  music is the best * more trouble every day * mystery roach * cosmik debris / filthy habits * plastic people / asturias * black napkins * spies * my guitar wants to kill your mama
  set two (special guests: gerard & nicoline)
  zappologies * she painted up her face / the torture never stops * lucille * any downers * what's the ugliest part of your body * carolina hardcore ecstacy * willie the pimp * watermelon in easter hay
  set three (special guests: ??, gerard & nicoline)
  heavy duty judy * inca roads * cruisin' for burgers * yo' mama * other people / andy / florentine pogen * treacherous cretins * teenage wind * bamboozled by love

Well, it sure was a long concert. The band took two 15 minute breaks in between, but played from about 6.00 pm until 9.30. Three sets, the latter one lasting almost an hour and a half.
As I had expected, the band sounded quite chaotic. The problem, however, was that the sound wasn't too good. It was hard to hear the lead guitar, and both the sax and the second guitar were way too loud.
The third set was the best one. I really enjoyed the guitar / violin / sax solos & communication.

The picture on the right was taken by Guus Veldhuis.
It shows, from left to right: Geert Tiersma, Maikel Hendrikx, Ike Naar, Nico van der Burgt and André Stijnen. Ruud Tiersma is also present, but behind the drumset.

SKIP HELLER * SKIP HELLER * SKIP HELLER * SKIP HELLER * SKIP HELLER

• skip heller: career suicide
      (2003, cd, usa, dionysus 123397)
  
  • Skip Heller's latest album is called "Career Suicide". It's subtitled "The Skip Heller Anthology", but that's not entirely true. The disc does have a couple of previously released tracks, including ‘Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance’ (Frank Zappa) from his "Couch, Los Angeles" album, but for the most part, the album presents unreleased and/or alternate tracks.
    "Career Suicide" has a very jazzy feeling to it. Skip Heller is a fine composer and a fine guitar player as well. He not only plays the Zappa tune as a jazz standard, but he wrote a bunch of tunes that would make great jazz standards as well.
    Very nice album, including 'Giant Steps' (J.Coltrane) and 'Whipping Post' (G.Allman).

• ossi duri: x
      (2003, cd, italy, frfrfrz 87451)
  
  • December 1993, the same month that Zappa died, Ossi Duri played their first concert. December 2003, ten years later, they released their tenth anniversary album, called X (ten).
    It's their best album so far. The choice of compositions is challanging and the band plays them all very tight. Special guests on "X" include Ike Willis, Napoleon Murphy Brock and Mike Keneally.
    Alongside the Zappa compositions, the band also recorded a couple of tunes written by Filippo Bellavia. Very Zappa inspired and very funny.

• alexei aigui and dietmar bonnen: black water
      (2003, cd, ger, solyd records slr 0355)
  
  • This new year is really getting a good start. Alexei Aigui (violin) and Dietmar Bonnen (piano) just released an album on which they play the music of Frank Zappa.
    I enjoy Dietmar Bonnen's approach of Zappa's music. His piano makes it all sound very fluent. "Black Water" has the same angle towards Zappa's music. Alexei Aigui plays the melody lines while Dietmar Bonnen creates the right atmosphere.
    It's very impressive that they can create this sound with just two instruments.
    I played it at New Year's Eve. All night long.

NEW ZAPPA BOOTLEGS

• frank zappa: breast
      (2003, 2cd-bootleg, ger, mmm)
  
  • There are two new Zappa bootlegs. The first one is called "BreAst". It has the 1979 Zappa band, live in Manchester (1979/02/12) and live in Brest (1979/03/19). As you can see, the two concerts were about a month apart, and this shows in the tracklisting.
    The 1979/03/19 Brest concert, is the complete concert. The show was broadcast on french radio and ended with three songs from another concert. These tracks are not included.
    The 1979/02/12 Manchester concert is taken from another FM broadcast. This is the complete, 51-minute broadcast, but longer audience recordings of this concert do exist.

• frank zappa: sweet georgia
      (2003, 2cd-bootleg, ger, mmm)
  
  • Bootleg number two is called "Sweet Georgia", recorded 1977/09/18 in concert at the 'fox theater' in atlanta, georgia, usa.
    It's the complete concert. The sound isn't too good, but it sounds as good as the copy I have at home.
