NEW MIKE KENEALLY RELEASE ANNOUNCED

Unhinged live Keneally album comes to Bandcamp Friday!

Hi! It’s Mike again! Hey! And look:

"OFF-BROADWAY" (a one-off 2006 live performance by Mike Keneally, Bryan Beller and Eric Slick) COMES TO BANDCAMP THIS FRIDAY, May 1!

Off-Broadway will be available at 11:59pm PDT this Thursday, April 30. And you won’t believe all the other MK treasures that you can get right now at Bandcamp!

https://mikekeneallymusic.bandcamp.com/

All the archive releases we’ve put out as Bandcamp exclusives over the past several years have held their share of revelations for me, but probably none more so than this one.

Scott Chatfield and I, the co-cap’ns of Exowax, will periodically scour our respective archives, looking for interesting stuff to release. Recently Scott unearthed a massive, stuffed package, mailed to us twenty years previously by a gentleman named Mark Leaver, and residing undisturbed in Scott’s home since then.

This package proved to contain a trove of CD-Rs, with attendant and copious documentation generously provided by Mark, of a one-time show played in St. Louis by what was billed that night as The Mike Keneally Trio – me, Bryan Beller, and Eric Slick, a drummer I’d played with at several Project/Object gigs, but I’d never played my own music with him before. Mark had wired his digital recorder into the soundboard that night and ended up with a serviceable batch of multitracks.

Bryan and I had been traveling together for three weeks prior to this show, doing a bunch of Taylor Guitars clinics in music stores, with Scott tour-managing and merch-slinging. Several months before, a MySpace friend in St. Louis named Dan Kinney had taken note of our upcoming clinic schedule, and reached out to me via the MySpace private message pipeline (the very same pipeline I’d use to secure a gig in Dethklok the following year! MySpace works!!) and proposed that we end our tour with an electric gig in a St. Louis venue, which he then proceeded to set up. It was also Dan who suggested using Eric Slick for the gig, a perfect choice – I’d heard him absolutely eat Zappa material alive, and he was only 19 years old at the time of this St. Louis gig.

The three of us rehearsed the songs, some of my hardest stuff, for the very first time at the venue during soundcheck, and a few hours later we played this gig, and pretty much laid waste to the place. There is a really ferocious energy to this show that seems entirely connected to its one-and-done nature – we didn’t have any other gigs booked afterwards, for us to refine and hone the material further – this was IT, our one shot, and we just sank our teeth into the stuff.

After Scott had found the multitracks after their twenty years spent in a box, I spent several weeks in March and April mixing them at home (with sonic insights offered by Sarah Crochet upon request) and I was frankly flabbergasted by what I heard in the tracks. It understates the case considerably to say that the recording exceeded my expectations. I think it’s fantastic. It’s loud and raw and real and I sure do hope you enjoy it very much; I’m freaking thrilled with it.

Bryan, Eric and I all wrote liner notes for the pdf that comes with the Bandcamp download (as did Dan Kinney who made the gig happen, and Mark Leaver who recorded it). Bryan’s notes make reference to how someone might assume, given Eric’s youth and the fact that he’d never played this material before, that Bryan and I might have needed to sort of coach Eric along during the gig, and this is very much not the case – Eric unapologetically OWNS these tunes, and my unavoidable feeling when listening to this is, why didn’t the three of us do more of this?? Apart from that day’s soundcheck, this is literally the only time this trio ever played together (so far anyway - none of us are done yet), and I’m so grateful to have this recording documenting it.

The tracks:

1. “You Guys Gonna Start Right Away, or…?”
2. Snowcow
3. Father’s Day
4. Intro to Dolphins
5. Dolphins
6. Pride is a Sin
7. My Dilemma
8. Intro to 2001/The Entertainer
9. 2001
10. Intro to Supermarket People
11. Supermarket People
12. Not Really Roy/Intro to Uglytown
13. Uglytown
14. Haugseth
15. Performing Miracles
16. The Mystery Music
17. Panda
18. “Can I Get Some Water?”/Intro to Nonkerchunk
19. Nonkerchunk
20. “Eric, You Rock Tonight”
21. Potato
22. Inca Roads
23. “I Know What You Wanna Hear”/Intro to Breakfast
24. ‘Cause of Breakfast

I’ll leave this here: Bandcamp Friday is the periodic Friday wherein Bandcamp does not take a cut of artist/label proceeds, so the income from every Exowax product you purchase on Bandcamp Friday goes 100% to Exowax. We are continually grateful for the support you’ve shown us on Bandcamp Friday – thank you, friends!

MIKE KENEALLY & BEER FOR DOLPHINS TO PERFORM AT THE BAKED POTATO IN JANUARY

A message from Mike Keneally

These are immediately before the beginning of the NAMM Show in Anaheim, so if you happen to be in SoCal around then for NAMM-ish activities, you ought to come see us play.

Two sets each night! Here are the ticket links (replete with some really exciting misspellings of nearly all of the band members – part of the charm of this venue for decades now):

BRYAN BELLER - CALM BEFORE THE STORM REMIX EP

From GlassOnyonPR

BASSIST/COMPOSER BRYAN BELLER RELEASES “CALM BEFORE THE STORM” REMIX EP

The Aristocrats’ bassist refocuses and reimagines select material from his last solo release before “Scenes From The Flood”

Bassist Bryan Beller – widely known for anchoring The Aristocrats (Beller + Guthrie Govan/gtr + Marco Minnemann/dr), Joe Satriani, Dethklok, Steve Vai and Mike Keneally – revisits and reimagines parts of his last solo album before both the birth of The Aristocrats and his seminal work Scenes From The Flood (2019), with the remix EP Calm Before The Storm.

Releasing digitally, it focuses on three compositions that represent the core journey of Beller’s 2008 release Thanks In Advance. Those songs – “Greasy Wheel”, “Cave Dweller” and “Love Terror Adrenaline/Break Through” – also all contain Aristocratic lineage of some kind, which makes for an interesting look back.

“In the very first gig with Guthrie Govan and Marco Minnemann at the NAMM show in 2011,” says Beller, “we each brought two solo compositions for a six-song set. Those songs ended up on our 2012 live album, so lots of folks heard the live trio arrangements of those pieces. Meanwhile I was a very young and inexperienced producer back in 2008, and while I was proud of the studio versions of those tunes at the time, I recently thought, ‘Man, I’d like another crack at mixing those. I think there’s more there.’ Also, 2008 is a million years ago in today’s ‘forever now’ culture, and there’s probably people out there who don’t even know this stuff exists. So why not reintroduce it with a fresh take?”

Beller once again called upon sonic sherpa Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Bear McCreary) to remix the three tunes. After mixing Scenes From The Flood and the latest Aristocrats album DUCK (2024), Savell was clearly the right choice to set the soundstage for a new experience.

With “Greasy Wheel” and “Cave Dweller” appearing on The Aristocrats’ Boing, We’ll Do It Live (2012), “Love Terror Adrenaline” contained a unique marker in Beller’s solo catalog: It’s the only work featuring then-future Aristocrats drummer Marco Minnemann.

“’Love Terror Adrenaline/Break Through’ was an intensely complex and emotionally charged 10-minute piece,” Beller explains, “about experiencing and getting beyond a panic attack caused by all sorts of inner demons. I wanted the song to reflect that struggle, and it’s a beast. I didn’t know Marco that well back then, but I’d played a couple of gigs with him for ex-Frank Zappa guitarist Mike Keneally. There was an intensity and aggression in the way Marco tackled the most difficult passages that instinctively felt right to me. So I brought both Marco and Mike onto this nightmare piece, and they really did incredible things with it.”

The EP also features performances by drummers Joe Travers (Zappa Plays Zappa, Eric Johnson) and Toss Panos (Michael Landau, Larry Carlton); guitarists Rick Musallam (Ben Taylor, Carly Simon) and Griff Peters (John Mayer, Billie Myers); and keyboardist Jeff Babko (Jimmy Kimmel Live, Steely Dan, Sheryl Crow).

The title Calm Before The Storm references Beller’s own personal journey at the time, an emotional whipsaw over several years. “I moved to Nashville in 2006 and started working on ‘Thanks In Advance’ right away. The album’s story chaotically worked towards a calm and peaceful vibe in the end, symbolized by the ‘Break Through’ moment after eight minutes of terrorized adrenaline. That’s where I left the narrative, sitting in a space of optimism and gratitude. Then, life went on and…well, a lot of things happened. And The Aristocrats suddenly exploded out of nowhere a couple of years later.”

“Then, in 2013 my marriage failed and I moved from Nashville back to Los Angeles, with a somewhat infamous stop at a crazypants gas station in Texas occurring along the way. I also learned some things about both myself and human nature that were not exactly aligned with my original ‘Thanks In Advance’ vibes. Working through that cognitive dissonance was the origin of Scenes From The Flood, even though it took six more years to bring it to fruition. And the very first idea for that album was ‘The Storm’, a metaphor for what had swept through my life.

“So the calm moment before everything went nuts – that’s where this EP ends. And I thought the material it took to get there deserved a fresh look.”

Track Listing:
1. Greasy Wheel
2. Cave Dweller
3. Love Terror Adrenaline/Break Through

Calm Before The Storm will initially be available exclusively on Bryan Beller’s Bandcamp page, at
https://bryanbeller.bandcamp.com/music.

Additionally, an extremely limited run of CDs are available at

BRYAN BELLER - CALM BEFORE THE STORM

 A message from Bryan Beller:

VERY LIMITED CD RUN: Here’s the news I was teasing yesterday! Because enough of you asked for it, I’ve printed a VERY limited number of Calm Before The Storm CDs. Like, 100 total. Only 85 will be available for sale. I’ve signed and numbered 50 of them and they are at my web store right now! (LINK IN FIRST COMMENT) The packaging is elegant (I think so anyway) but modest, a simple color sleeve, like the CD EP’s we used to see in the 90s. You can see the front and back in the pics on the post.

(Yes, I get the irony of doing this post on Bandcamp Friday. That's still happening also, so if you want a digital copy and were waiting for that, today's the day! I'll link that in the second comment, or something.)

The webstore does ship internationally - I’ve been advised shipping is about $14 for UK and Australia, and somewhere between $14-$20 in Europe depending on the country.

There’s no presale - it’s live now at my webstore page at Hello Merch (again, LINK IN FIRST COMMENT).

Here’s the thing. I’m not really doing this project/release to make money (after mixing and promotional expenses, I assure you it won’t!). This is just a passion project, something I always wanted to do, as well as a way to reintroduce this material in the best possible light to folks who haven’t yet heard it. And it’s also a way to step back into the “solo artist” space after some time away from it. So I hope that lands well for everyone, and that you enjoy the music, whether it’s digital or CD or whatever you like.
And if for some reason you missed yesterday's post, I made a new more comprehensive promotional video to help explain the project. It’s got a lot of fun old footage of us tracking these songs, and maybe an angle or two you might not expect. It's the post before this one.

OK, a little over one week until The Aristocrats hit South America!

MIKE KENEALLY & BRYAN BELLER - FREAKS IN A MELLOW MOOD VOL.3

The third in a series of archival acoustic duo releases from the bygone month of November 2003.

 
These recordings have 2003 vibe all over them.

 
I’m just to remind you one more time of the treasures that await you in this volume:

1. SELF ‘N’ OTHER (Williamsport, Nov. 10 ‘03)
2. I'M AFRAID (Paramus, Nov. 12 '03)
3. MY DILEMMA (Rochester, Nov. 8 ‘03)
4. NONKERCHUNK (medley of I Just Got Here/Naked Horse/Blue Jean Baby/The Knife & Drum, edited from the Cambridge and Paramus shows)
5. PARANOID ANDROID (Radiohead cover, Wilmington, Nov. 11 ‘03)
6. LIVE IN JAPAN (Fairview, Nov. 9 ‘03)
7. TUG (Paramus, Nov. 12 ‘03)

9. 2 + 2 = 5 (Radiohead cover, Rochester, Nov. 8 ‘03)
10. SUPERMARKET PEOPLE (Bryan Beller song, Rochester Nov. 8 ‘03)
11. SPEARMINT PUP (Cambridge, Nov. 6 ‘03)
12. INCA ROADS (Zappa cover, edited from the Cambridge, Paramus, Williamsport and Littleton shows)

I mean, come on! Look at those! And each one of them aglow with deep lashings of Keneally/Beller acoustic pixie dust. I promise you, they are all good.

ARISTOCRATS TOUR DATES

A message from the Aristocrats

Having recently wrapped an exclusive run of completely sold out dates on the west coast of the United States (the “Duckling” tour) around the DUCK album’s release, guitarist Guthrie Govan, bassist Bryan Beller and drummer Marco Minnemann will now bring their trademark musical virtuosity and inherent absurdity back to stages all across the United States, as well as Canada and Mexico. They’ll be playing (and perhaps even explaining) a sizeable chunk of their new album DUCK, as well as classic cuts from their five-album catalogue.

Of the upcoming tour, Guthrie commented, “Our new concept album tells the tale of a Duck who travels thousands of miles from his home on a small island and ultimately finds himself in the US… As the sole UK-based member of The Aristocrats, I’m particularly looking forward to retracing his anatine steps this summer!". Marco adds, “It was exciting experiencing the great response and equally great fun we had taking our newest ‘Duck’ material briefly out on the road for a test drive. I cannot express more how much I look forward to presenting our most recent offerings to all of you wonderful people around the globe.” Bryan concludes, “We’re extremely proud of the DUCK album, but live onstage is where our music always truly comes alive. With that said: North America, we’ll see you soon!”

THE ARISTOCRATS reveal album title/concept of first new studio album in five years!

DUCK.

That’s the name of our fifth studio album, coming out on February 16. There’s the big news. And there’s a story to it and everything. Plus some fancy new artwork.

Pre-orders will start in early January. There will be a standard CD, a “DUCK Deluxe”, and DUCK vinyl. We’ll be playing lots of tunes from DUCK on the USA West Coast mini-tour to celebrate the release. It’s all very exciting. :-)

You can read more about it in the press release below.

Thank you again for your support on the DEFROST tour while we worked hard to finish this new music for you!

Cheers to all,
The Aristocrats

Renowned rock-fusion trio The Aristocrats are excited to reveal the album title and concept of their first studio album in five years: DUCK will be available in both standard and deluxe edition formats as well as vinyl on February 16th, 2024. The new concept album will be released via BOING Music, distributed via Hostile City Distro/MVD in North America. The trademark Aristocratic musical mayhem is rowdier than ever, but the band’s fifth studio album is truly like nothing else in their catalogue. DUCK is mixed by Forrester Savell (Twelve Foot Ninja, Dead Letter Circus, The Butterfly Effect) and contains original character artwork by film animator Lance Myers (Space Jam, Anastasia, Quest For Camelot).

Of the inspiration for DUCK, The Aristocrats collectively explained, “It is the story of a web-footed Antarctic Island native fleeing a penguin policeman all the way to New York City… where considerable misadventure and danger await.” Of its genesis, they elaborated, “We’ve always been writing with a storytelling aspect in mind, and our live shows always include our stories behind the songs… But the stories had mainly been about us. Then Marco came into the studio with a song about a duck, and we all looked at each other and said, ‘What if all of stories for the songs on this album… happened to a duck? What’s that story about?’ And suddenly we had a concept album on our hands.”

DUCK will be available in both standard and deluxe editions. The standard edition features the original CD, whilst the deluxe edition contains the original CD along with a USB DUCK drive with behind-the-scenes footage, demos and more, a DUCK pass laminate with QR code for bonus features and a custom Aristocrats-branded lanyard. DUCK will also be available in 180-gram double vinyl.

Coinciding with the release of DUCK, The Aristocrats will headline select dates on the West Coast of the United States.

PHI YAAN-ZEK - INTERDIMENSIONAL GARDEN PARTY

• phi yaan-zek: interdimensional garden party
      (2022, cd, uk, geomagnetic records)

Let me start by saying that Phi Yaan-Zek's "Interdimensional Garden Party" is a top album. I had enjoyed the digital download, the amazing compositions, the outstanding technical performances, the interconnectedness of the different pieces,...
And then the physical copy of the album arrived, adding that extra level of intensity from enjoying the artwork, browsing through the booklet and figuring out the musicians on the different tracks while listening to the album again (and again).
We're Only In It For The Music, and Music Is The Best !!

"Interdimensional Garden Party" is a top album.
Wait. Let me rephrase: "Interdimensional Garden Party" is a TOP ALBUM;

With notable guest appearances for Lalle Larsson, Morgan Agren, Bryan Beller, Marco Minnemann and (the amazing) Mike Keneally.

Highly recommended !!
