LET'S HEAR IT FOR EUGENE CHADBOURNE

Posted about 4 years ago
**Eugene Chadbourne** is an interesting character. He's been flittering around the edges of rocknroll for thirty-odd (and I ??do?? mean odd) years.A guitarist who also plays banjo and electric rake, (his own invention), he usually takes an unconventional approach to making music.He Fronted a band of sorts called **Rockabilly** in the early eighties, offering up strange originals and stranger covers.I do not have their version of **Instant Karma** on cd or I'd post it. Its something you've got to hear. Once.He recorded a cd with **Camper Van Beethoven** that is by turns delightful, humorous, and luminous. When its not cloying self-indulgent bullshit. Not A ringing endorsement, I know, but its all part of the package.

  5. mktackabery says When I was working for a club in Asheville we had an uproar to get this guy, so we booked him after much trial and travail, and then he never showed up.

  6. deadmandeadman says Michelle, that sounds about right. His performances, if you can ever catch one, are as exacerbating & frustrating as his absences.
