THE WEEVER SANDS - SECRETS OF THE PECKING ORDER

  • the weever sands: secrets of the pecking order
        (2022, cd, Germany, trommelfell records)
The Weever Sands is a prog rock band that’s based in Cologne, Germany. Their third album, “Secrets Of The Pecking Order”, included a reference to Frank Zappa.

Jens-Peter Gaul explained:
The album tells the hilarious story of Phea the Pheasant and its troublesome week and contains the track ‘Tuesday. Comme toujours, Birdland Central tortures Phea with tons of paperwork about artificial tail feathers’. That track comprises a final tearing & swearing section which quotes Zappa's line from the YCDTOSA Vol I version of Don't Eat The Yellow Snow: "You know what they can do to a guy who is wearing a parka!" In our version in the birds' world: "I'll show you what a stable beak can do to a guy who is wearing a parka!"

Not the easiest one to spot, but I love these subtle references !
The album got released on CD and was made available through Bandcamp.
