Featuring Gary Lucas, Arranged By Phillip Johnston
New Album “Pork Chop Blue Around The Rind", Released Jan. 20th
Worldwide On Cuneiform Records
Come celebrate Fast 'N' Bulbous and the imminent release of their new album with an early Xmas Beefheartian blowout at the Bowery Poetry Club on Friday night Dec. 17th at 10pm.
Check out this 7 piece little-big band who capture the spirit and sound of Captain Beefheart's music, while adding a big healthy dollop of themselves to it and making it their own.
“A limited number of pre-release copies of “Pork Chop Blue Around the Rind" will be on sale at the gig!"
“The band's joyful noises did justice to Beefheart's nature-boy ardor for flesh and grit..." --Richard Gehr, Village Voice
“Johnston's brass scores hit the R&B meat and twisted swing that Beefheart embedded in spidery guitars...Lucas on searing bottleneck guitar celebrated the rock in Beefheart's extremes." --David Fricke, Rolling Stone
“Fast 'N' Bulbous play it just right. For starters, they are all excellent, exploratory musicians...I was expecting it to be good, but my expectations were surpassed in grand style." --Mike Barnes, The Wire, Mojo, and author of “Captain Beefheart"

Gary Lucas--guitars
