THE BLIMP - NOT BEER

• the blimp: not beer
      (2010, 12", usa, violet times records vt108)

Experimental rock band The Blimp hails from Eugene, Oregon. The band released its first (and only) 12" in 2010 on the Violet Times Records label.
With a band name like this and the fact that they recorded some Beefheart & some Zappa on their first album (more on that later...), I just had to check them out.

Four tracks one a one-sided 12".
I like the artwork for the album cover. It shows a lot of attitude, and a DIY mentality.
The back cover has a fine shot of the band. Could have been from a Magic Band photo shoot...

The music sounds great. Experimental, energetic and raw, but not over the top. There's a lot going on.
Here's 'Not Beer'. Check it out :
