Another batch of an odd band here with quite the prodigious amount available for FREE.
Austin, Texas whackos create quite the fun atmosphere with their genre mashing mayhem. Good part hard rocking ska metal (Mr.Bungle, MU330, The Urge, Fishbone, all come to mind) with a fair amount of funk and jazz influence (present in those mentioned above namely the almighty Mr.Bungle) as well as throwing other zany elements into the mix with a heavily experimental vibe into the mix yet while remaining quite tuneful (Residents, Renaldo & The Loaf, The Frogs, Ween, etc.). Quite a masterful command of the tastes making them up has one reminded of Secret Chiefs 3 (especially their earlier less polished work) Estradasphere, and other bands of the "Rock In Opposition (R.I.O)" ilk throwing together multiple styles yet maintaining a heavy foot on the PARTY pedal.
Extremely hard to pigeon hole, even harder to make sense of yet easy to enjoy. I'm not even positive as to which album I have downloaded (has some errors) here. The humorous though lacking discography info on their website and the internet in general hasn't even allowed me to figure out exactly this albums title. Ahhh their website though has hours of entertainment to be found in their streaming radio, vids, and BROWNLOADS (hours of music for free) which are a bit more determined confusedly wandering than even this trip-on, freak-out of an album. Most of the "brownloads" (some available as mp3 some as m4a, some as or with "video" footage included) starting with the same tune in different formations claim: "It's a brand new world" and indeed they've assembled quite the maniacally awesome place to visit.
