The Aristocrats - Should be killer!

Anyone who likes music should check these guys out. Should appeal to guitar music fans, jazz fusion fans, prog fans, & Zappa fans one and all. This power trio just oozes with talent: Bryan Beller (bass), Guthrie Govan (guitar), and Marco Minneman (drums)


I'm almost glad Marco didn't get the DT gig, since they are already out touring, and will be in the US come September/early October. If I'm breathing, I will be at the Chicago show....Hope to find some youtube vids, and a sampler from their cd will be posted soon. Wecsite above just went live..... Hell, they're even playing Vinyl! Check em' out!

5 minute teaser from the cd:

 

[AeonicSlumber]

Guthrie Govan is one of the few musicians who I can listen to jack his guitar off for an indefinite amount of time and actually care about what he has to say with it. Excited.

 

[J-Dubya 777]

Thread bump for any of the Chicago area people who might want to hear some really kickass music!
Show starts @ 8pm.....Be there!

 

[J-Dubya 777]

Good God, what an awesome show! Nice big crowd to pack the club too! If they are playing near you (Calif. in 2012, check the website!) they are a must see. I had never seen Marco Minnemann live, in person before, and he's absolutely insane on the drums. Think of a devlish Keith Moon, who is just about to do something he knows he shouldn't! One of the very few drum solos in the last 30 years that had my attention from start to finish. Guthrie Govan is an absolute must hear, and Bryan Beller just keeps on proving just how fucking good he is!

J-Dub - Well put. Great great great show. Thanks a ton for posting about it here otherwise not sure I would have heard about it. Can't stop playing that CD over that past few weeks either. See ya again soon!

Thanks man! & You're welcome! I'm into a lot of different music, and the stuff I post about in the forum should be pretty easy for most of our community here to get into. I'm real partial to the trio band format, and The Aristocrats just ooze talent! I'm sure they'll be back, they look like they are having way too much fun doing this :Spin: The cd is amazing, and of course the band is even better, live (imo). I love that venure, too. Best place in Chicago for lots of varied, cool music. Thanks for coming out! I WILL see ya again soon!
