The Beat CircusÆs Ringleaders Revolt, is
a great album. Imagine if you will an
amalgam of circus music, funeral dirges,
music for burlesque, tangos, and marches,
with a serious edge. This is more than
retro; it's much cooler than that. This
is music from a fiction of the past, a
crazy burlesque circus that would make
Salvador Dali feel at home. Using
accordions, banjos, samplers and
turntables. It's music that would be as
comfortable around the Squirrel Nut
Zippers as it would be around Tom Waits.
The Beat Circus is chock full of great
musicians. Really great musicians. Guys
like drummer Jerome Deupree who was also
the original drummer for Morphine, and
the Either/Orchestra; Brandon Seabrook
plays banjo/sampler and is also the
guitarist of the critically acclaimed
post-klezmer band NaftuleÆs Dream (also
on Innova); Jim Hobbs rocks the alto
saxophone and leads the Fully Celebrated
Orchestra (hey theyÆre on Innova too).
Of course it's all ring-mastered by
Boston stalwart, documentary filmmaker
and slide trumpet player Brian Carpenter.
Instrumentalist Ron Caswell played with
the Flying Karamazov Brothers. And last,
but by no means least, accordion
daredevil Alec K. Redfearn who is also
led the infamous Amoebic Ensemble for ten
years. Oh yeah did I mention they're from
Boston?
Like I said this is a great band, and the
album? Well it's great too. Seriously. If
you buy one circus-
burlesque-tango-klezmer-improv record
this year make it this one.
