MIC CONWAY'S NATIONAL JUNK BAND
Corporate Chook is the latest dish served up by the legendary Mic Conway's National Junk Band. This album has been baking for over four years, and features seventeen delicious tracks dripping with virtuosity, humour, social and political comment.
Like the band this album defies categorisation. Sousaphone, stroviol, musical saws, hooters, garbage bins, wash boards and all kinds of strange noises have been folded together to create some stunning originals and "junked-up" popular songs. This is a tasty offering with a difference.
Some of Australia's finest musicians have combined to make this Mic's finest album ever, including his work in Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band and Circus Oz.
From a gospel spoof on consumerism, a corporate calypso, John Lennon's 'Crippled Inside' and Leon Russell's 'Tightrope', to a piss-take of the rubbish of rap music and lots more. Certain to bring a smile to the dial, this long awaited concoction is cordon bleu for those who are tired of the same old meat and three vege.
Give your ears a sumptuous treat. Corporate Chook is to be launched throughout July and August 2008. First course to be delivered to you at the Bald Face Stag (Leichhardt, NSW), with very special guest Liz Frencham, on Friday 4th July.
