EUGENE CHADBOURNE & JIMMY CARL BLACK

Eugene Chadbourne is a DIY (Do It Yourself) artist.
He releases his music on CDRs that he packs in old used record sleeves or other cardboard material, and distributes these during concerts (and through his webshop).

Browsing his webshop, I came across an album I hadn't heard of previously.
"Horror Part 9" (actually the ninth volume in his "Horror" series), featuring Jimmy Carl Black.


The Horror Part Nine Band was an ensemble created for a special event in a year when I had “carte blanche” at the Vandouevre-based Action! festival. As such, the ninth volume in the series began its life as a stage performance that would have been best documented on film. The sound recording of the event originally was available only to punters purchasing the Horror Box Set and was not available individually. In the first of three acts Jimmy Carl Black recites Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven, act two pays tribute to a creepy monster created by my oldest brother that I call the Hopping Fiend. In the final act Ray Dennis Steckler’s concept of monsters attacking a movie theatre audience was revisited on the French audience…
