Nonsense and Nonsensibility
Experimentalist may be a goofball, but he’s a freakin’ great one
If you’ve ever listened to Eugene Chadbourne and eternally wrote him off as a hack musician, we suggest taking life a little less seriously, bro. You see, performing goofball nonsense is part of the experimentalist’s shtick. A frequent collaborator with the Sun City Girls, John Zorn, and the Violent Femmes, Chadbourne plays guitar, banjo, and a freaking electric rake, for God’s sake. The resulting music is part banjo-y Sonny Sharrock or Mary Halvorson interspersed with offbeat lyrics that a campy Woody Guthrie might sing.
