Equally indebted to Ornette Coleman, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and
latter-day Black Flag, Many ArmsÆ jagged songs hit hard and
hit often while remaining willing to take a turn towards the
pretty or the weird when occasionally inclined. Throwing down
the gauntlet with this release, the group slithers around the
many contours of their sound with passion and precision. The
3" e.p. "Ocean of Snakes" is a fascinating opening salvo,
catch them on tour in Europe and the west coast of the U.S.
soon!
BIO:
Many Arms are Ricardo Lagomasino û drums, John DeBlase -
electric bass & Nick Millevoi û guitar. Three of the most
exciting players in PhiladelphiaÆs multifaceted experimental
music scene (having played or currently performing with Make A
Rising, Roscoe Mitchell, Dan Scofield, George Korein and the
Spleen, Marcus Belgrave, Dan Blacksberg, Circles, Joe Lally &
many others) as Many Arms the trio have come together to
present a new peak in the new underground progressive rock
scene.
"(Many Arms were) formed in October 2007, only three months
before their first tour of the Midwest. The three members of
the band, Nick Millevoi, Ricardo Lagomasino and John DeBlase
are all busy in their own right, but when they play together
the sum is greater than that of its parts. Combining
progressive song structures, brutally intense improvisation,
and an amalgam of musical influences, they pull off quite an
exciting live show."
