Description
How deconstructed can a group get? How about just one vocal, one bass, one guitar, and a basic beat supplied by stomping on a mini-tambourine-doohickey? Thats exactly what everyones favorite storyteller/narrator, Les Claypool, is incorporating in his new band, Duo de Twang. While Les is still pulling double duty with the Primus lads, he has also found the time to unite with his old buddy, Bryan Kehoe, who fans will recognize from several past Claypool projects, and also as one of the main actors from Les hilarious jam band mockumentary, Electric Apricot: Quest for Festeroo. But unlike Primus, DDT focuses more on the Americana/rootsy side of things as heard throughout the bands debut recording Four Foot Shack, to be released via ATO Records.
And as evidenced by DDTs live shows and debut, Les and Bryan mostly mix traditional tunes, popular covers, and readings of Primus classics (all of which are usually barely recognizable when compared to the original versions). Case in point, the inclusion of Battle of New Orleans, Stayin Alive, Man in the Box, Wynonas Big Brown Beaver, and Jerry Was A Race Car Driver on DDTs debut disc.
