Random MySpace Band Review: Oysterhead

Band: Oysterhead

MySpace Page: http://www.myspace.com/lesstutrey

Website: http://www.oysterhead.com/

Classified as:   Experimental / Ambient / Jam Band

oysterhead.jpgAbout: Oysterhead is a rock supergroup featuring guitarist Trey Anastasio of Phish, bassist Les Claypool of Primus, and drummer Stewart Copeland of The Police. The style and sound of the band is a unique, somewhat bizarre mix between Anastasio’s jam band style, the bass-oriented funk metal music of Claypool, and the reggae-influenced beats of Copeland. To many, this is considered to be the bridge between the music of Phish and Primus.

Oysterhead was formed for what was originally intended to be an exclusive one-off live performance at New Orleans’s Saenger Theater on May 4, 2000, for which they compiled a set almost entirely of original material. The show was part of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. [ from Wikipedia.com ]

A Primer On: Steve Kimock

Steve Kimock…

steve-kimock.jpgKimock’s music is widely known for being influenced heavily by the psychedelic rock styles of the Grateful Dead. He is one of several musical artists whose fan base includes Deadheads and whose popularity has surged as these fans have sought out new live musical outlets following the 1995 death of Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia.

His diverse musical influences have been wide-ranging, including Roy Buchanan, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Ali Akbar Khan, David Lindley, Bob Weir, Frank Zappa, Jerry Garcia and others. But Kimock is best known for creating music that is generally considered to be the nearest contemporary sound to that of the Grateful Dead, and his music is held in high esteem by diehard fans of the former band and by members of the Grateful Dead themselves.
