▀███▄ Duckmandu! - Fresh Duck For Rotting Accordionists ▄███▀

date : 2005
label : Independent
genre : Other
rls. date : Feb/2006
tracks : 29

note from the ripper: there are 3 silent tracks on the cd

tracks in the release
Eight Panel insert includes the sordid ORIGIN OF DUCKMANDU
comic strip! Also: Illustrations, history and technical
details of the insanely complicated META-TONIC ACCORDION!
The definitive accordion version of the first Dead
Kennedys record plus other punk tunes by the
pyrotechnically virtuosic accordio-vocalisticator
DUCKMANDU!
"Over the top!" - Maximum Rock 'n Roll.
With backup vocals by Dead Kennedys Bassist Klaus Fluoride
and accordionist/performer Jason Webley! Cover art by
Winston Smith. Comic Strip by Anonymous Bosch.
"Fresh Duck for Rotting Accordionists" is a solo accordion
(with vocals) version of the first Dead Kennedys Album
"Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables." Also on the CD are
six additional punk tunes by the Minutemen, D.R.I., Black
Flag, Duckmandu, DEVO, and one extra by Dead Kennedys.
"Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables" by Dead Kennedys is
truly one of the great albums in any genre. The level of
musicianship is extraordinary. And although it is a "punk"
album, it shows influence from surf, doo-wop, atonal
music, and flamenco. However, the style of Dead Kennedys
on this album has to be seen as a genre all its own.
Klaus Fluoride sings backup on five of the tracks on
"Fresh Duck." Klaus is the bassist for the Dead Kennedys
and is for the most part duplicating the vocals he sang on
the original album!
Jason Webley sings backup on three of the tracks. Jason
Webley is an incredible performer and accordionist with a
nation-wide cult following. His performances are not
merely shows, they are more like revival meetings.
Winston Smith did the cover, a parody of his own Dead
Kennedys cover from "In God We Trust Inc." A
world-renowned collage artist, Winston Smith has done
album covers for Green Day, George Carlin, did most of the
Dead Kennedys covers and designed the famous DK logo. He
has recently done two covers for the New Yorker magazine.
Anonymous Bosch (AKA Scott Reed) did the enclosed comic
strip, layout, and drew the metatonic accordion. He is one
of the founders of Filth Magazine and the editor of Art
Core.
The 60+ voices in the Chemical Warfare Rocky Mountain
Arsenal Memorial Choir of Death (track 8) include many
friends and notables from the world of punk rock and
underground performance. Dirk Dirksen (the godfather of
punk rock) ran the San Francisco punk clubs Mabuhay
Gardens and On Broadway for ten years. Greg Ginn was the
guitarist for Black Flag and wrote Police Story (Track
17). Trey Spruance (AKA Scummy) was a guitarist for Faith
No More and the avant-rock band Mr. Bungle. John Gluck is
the director/conductor of the Punk Rock Orchestra of San
Francisco. V Vale is the founder and editor of RE/Search
publications, who's books include such seminal volumes as
"Modern Primitives," "Pranks" and "Incredibly Strange
Music."
Note: Except for Tracks 13 and 19, there is no overdubbing
of accordion parts.
Duckmandu: Aaron Seeman's onslaught of solo accordion and
vocals has astounded audiences of all shapes and sizes.
Maximum Rock 'n Roll, the premier punk magazine,
pronounced him "over the top!" for his note-for-note
renditions of the entire first Dead Kennedys album, Fresh
Fruit for Rotting Vegetables. His repertoire also
includes, but is not limited to, 70's rock, Broadway,
klezmer, classical, country, Sousa marches, punk rock, and
even a polka or two.
Rather than play hokey accordion versions of these songs,
Duckman/Seeman seeks to demonstrate that accordion and
vocals alone can evoke the spirit of the song, whether the
hard driving rock of AC/DC, the wide vocal range and sonic
landscape of Boston, or the supersonic speeds and driving
force of Dead Kennedys.
The accordion received a triple blow to its image in
American culture that by the 1960's had done serious
damage. First, millions of American children were forced
to play the unwieldy instrument against their wills.
Second, Lawrence Welk's widely watched show focused only
on the geekiest, corniest aspects of the instrument.
Third, there was the rise of rock 'n roll and the electric
guitar.
This is not to say that the Duckman renounces geekiness,
far from it. But America and the world must be reminded
what a powerful and versatile instrument the accordion can
be.
"I never thought an accordion could mesmerize me, but it
did."
- Tom Anderson, Web review
"...a virtuoso player"
- Will York, San Francisco Bay Guardian
"Duck did a vocal performance that was a warble for warble
spot-on Jello."
- Henry Yu, Maximum Rock 'n Roll
"He used to be a classical pianist, then something went
wrong..."
- Jason Webley, accordionist and performer
In addition to his accordionizationizing, Aaron Seeman is
a founding member, arranger, and vocalist with San
Francisco's Punk Rock Orchestra, which performs full scale
orchestral versions of classic punk songs. He also plays
accordion with the Romanian folk ensemble, Fishtank. He
has recorded with Mr. Bungle and Estradasphere. He is the
composer of a modern classical opera "Opium: Diary of a
Cure."
He currently resides in Oakland, California.
