Vibraphonist and percussionist Mike Dillon and Punkadelick (Brian Haas amd Nikki Glaspie) have shared Apocalypse Daydream, another track from their forthcoming new album, Inflorescence. It is a stern warning people can dance to.
Vibraphonist and percussionist Mike Dillon and Punkadelick (Brian Haas amd Nikki Glaspie) have joined forces again. After their well-received collaboration on the Shoot The Moon album, as part of the Quarantine Trilogy, they have recorded a bunch of Zappa-esque freak punk songs for a new album, Inflorescence, due for release on January 27th via Royal Potato Family (180 gram gumball pink vinyl - 500 copies, digital). Dillon channels the tone of Ruth Underwoord on the lead single, Devil's Playground.
Vibraphonist and percussionist Mike Dillon will be on the road in the States with Punkadelick this Summer. He recorded a hugely political album with them, Shoot The Moon, as part of his Quarantine Trilogy: "With long-time collaborators Matt Chamberlain, Steven Bernstein, Nicholas Payton, Robbie Seahag Mangano, Jean-Paul Gaster and Nick Bockrath having his back Shoot The Moon is turned into dark and foreboding sonic trip. Avant-garde meets funky post-psych funk and rock. Dancing is allowed as well, but good luck trying to keep up with the album's closer, the Captain Beefheart-alike Open Up".
When the pandemic hit vibraphonist and percussionist Mike Dillon found himself hung out to dry. Performing live is his bread and butter - playing 100+ shows in a year, wowing his audiences with his blend of punk, jazz and funk. He had to find a way to redirect his energy and recorded three full albums, releasing them via Bandcamp as digital downloads. Now Shoot The Moon, Suitcase Man and 1918 will come to vinyl via Royal Potato Family.
