I never thought that someday I'd be playing tablas and scatting
vocals for an ambient folk rock psychedelic jazz revue, but
stranger things have happened in this universe (notably, Dan
Foss' "happy" period and of course, Neil walking on
the moon). Listening to a Sheep Fiends album or participating in a
Sheep Fiends jam (for the low low price of a small corner of your
sanity) is akin to meeting Jimi Hendrix, Arlo Guthrie, Sun Ra and
Ringo Starr in an airport lounge, getting them drunk on cheap gin,
handing them all the wrong instruments and asking them to play
the Sgt. Pepper's album for you (except that, with the likely
exception of Ringo, most of *that* group would tell you to blow).
If you have a discerning ear, considerable stamina and the
ability to turn off what normally functions as "musical
taste" in your universe, then the Sheep Fiends are likely
to surprise you (especially if we wind up in *your* living room
to jam); when gems emerge from this cacophonous stew of
heavy-handed intricacies, they are likely to be unforgettable
-- and remember, kids, feedback is your friend!
Love,Scotto
