Las
Vegas Bodysnatchers Self-Titled CD TR3014
$11.99
Take Les Claypool and Keith Moon and smash them up into one acoustic
guitar player: add drums, bass, and songs that grab you and take you
somewhere, and you've got the Las Vegas Body Snatchers.
Highlights include "Double Negative" (imagine Julian Cope
singing with Tool), the fist-pumping instrumental "Sorry I
Punched You In The Face #3", and the delicate and mind-boggling
"Temptation", a one-handed guitar instrumental.
The songs are raw and energetic. The Guitar playing is very
unconventional: an extremely percussive and aggressive style where
the strings are struck with both the right and left hand, like a
piano or even a drum (just listen to the opening of "Make
Ecstatic"-- BTW, there are no guitar overdubs on the record).
