The Spoonman and his Band of Buzzards (1982)

Back to Archive

This is an inspired and eclectic performance that, in my opinion, is ahead of its time. The sounds combine a number of percussive elements providing virtuosic rhythmic interest alongside fiddle and guitar sounds reminiscent of an old-time style, all flavored with an electronic, futuristic flair. Take a listen with open ears and you will not be disapointed! 

Not much is known about The Spoonman, Master Gadget Master, and his Band of Buzzards nor their performance in 1982. Unless *you* know anything?
