PHIL DADSON
New Zealand 'inter-media' artist
"... this is what Phil Dadson has dedicated his life to- exploring
alternative sound sources in an idiosyncratic and distinctly visual
way. Dadson has been plowing this fertile soil for over 30 years,
most famously with the avant-garde performance troupe From Scratch; a
precursor to the highly successful but much-maligned 'Stomp' and Blue
Man shows. As with those productions, listening to Dadson's recorded
output provides you with only half the picture."
JOHN FRENCH
Drumbo's (Magic Band) solo years
"You may know something of French's history: in the late-1960s he was
drafted from the Lancaster, California blues band that he co-lead to
become the drummer for Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band. French
played drums on the astonishingly original and hard-to-grasp Trout
Mask Replica."
