BUFFALO LECTER

It's no secret how much I love jams and improvised music (Dos Brujos, anyone?) so I am excited to share BUFFALO LECTER with you. This is a 3-piece instrumental improvisational jam band whose music can be described as experimental rock, but there are also sounds of psych, prog, stoner .... this band explores a lot of sonic territory. Take a listen to their debut EP:



I asked Buffalo Lecter to tell me about their band and their sound:

Buffalo Lecter, an instrumental rock trio based in Recife, Brazil, has been developing its repertoire since October 2017, taking advantage of the freedom that only independent music can provide, to work the sounds and explore the capacity of music. instrumental reflect landscapes, moods, feelings of the soul. 

With a rock'n roll of many influences, the trio did not adhere to the comfort of the ready-made formulas and made it in the laboratory to achieve the band's multifaceted sonority, an expression that can be defined as a kind of progressive, psychedelia, hard molotov cocktail. rock, stoner ... an incendiary chemistry that won't let you keep still!

Buffalo Lecter is Jadie Tavares on drums, Laio Orellana on guitar and Marcelo Duva on electric bass.

How I met these guys was when they contacted me about getting a song onto BRASIL IN FUZZ my new digital compilation featuring only bands from Brazil. Follow me on Bandcamp to get FIVE HOURS of killer heavy music from Brazil THIS SATURDAY!!

Fukkengrüven by Zero-day-wareZ

Just a short post to give you all a heads-up on the quick follow-up to Zero-day-wareZ's debut album from last month (read my post on it here). Listen for free and read Fuzzy Cracklin's music review of the instrumental funk metal album Fukkengrüven by Zero-day-wareZ below....

From the instrumental metal jamming of Dos Brujos in Austria, let us now turn our ears towards Australia and the groovy funky metal jams of Zero-day-wareZ --

Zero-day-wareZ

Two-Fisted Salute really funks out and gets the riffs in --


I was wondering about these lo-fi funky metal jams so I reached out to Mike (the guitarist) who had a great story to tell. These jams were recorded by the three guys (Mike - guitar / Ashe - bass / Ev - drums) back in college. Just them, their rig, and a single mic in the middle of the floor. But then a week later the drummer disappeared only to re-surface later in Germany! Alas, another lost rock n roll drummer. He was after a lady and we know what happened after that. So a few years later, Mike was going back through the recordings and cuts together what we have here in the album. But there probably won't be another Zero-day-wareZ album, at least not with the same line-up, unless the drummer decides to return from Germany. So enjoy these jams for now.



Blazed really gets its groove on. And for something a little more stoner, check out Dune Rider --



Is stoner jam a musical genre? If it is, then Dune Rider definitely qualifies.

The Bolt is downright funky --


Some of the tracks are heavier than the others, some are funkier, and well... you get the idea. Just start the album and enjoy an hour's worth of instru-metal jamming.

Check out the entire album over on Bandcamp where you can download it for free or throw a few Australian dollars their way to show your support.


But wait, there's more! I might have got my cracklins crossed and Mike has a few updates --

We met in college and formed our musical appreciation together there. We recorded jams 1, 2 & 3 in College, then Jams 4 - 13 (where this album was cut from ) 10 years later, meeting up at rehearsal studios.

And Ev, the drummer, has been all over the Europe & Asia... he's actually in Finland right now! He split up with the girl he chased years ago and now he's roaming solo. Surely that means there's a chance he may return? Who knows. Ev is a mystery.

Oh - and I have more recordings to dig through - I may have another half a dozen tracks I could publish, maybe more. I'll see what I can find!

So that's great news -- there could be more tracks! I'll keep the crawdads boiling.

BTW these guys kind of remind of Electric Octopus -- instrumental, jams, funky & groovy, and really get the riffs on. Check out Electric Octopus on Bandcamp if you are into this kind of music.
