Live and Unhinged

When not watching bad horror movies or listening to records, the members of Aluminum Tadpole would occasionally have an impromptu jam session, recording music with whatever equipment was immediately available. The result: A sound that ranges from crass to touching, inept to jazzy. Also of note are their naïve yet effective performances of Jonathan Richman’s “Circle I” and “Ice Cream Man.” This CD is a collection of non-methodical, improvised pieces, and showcases the band at their most spontaneous. Live, with few overdubs.

“An honest, sincere performance, with no biting the heads off of buffoons.” —Judith Billy, Shank Week Magazine
