Gandalf Murphy & the Slambovian Circus of Dreams (playing 1/12/07)
Every once in a great while you hear an album – one that you know nothing about – that makes you stop and take notice. And then you listen to it again and again... and again. Flapjacks from the Sky by Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams was one of those albums for me. An agency sent me their two disc CD. Though I didn’t know the band by name, the cover art was intriguing enough to make me actually open the case and give it a listen.
And listen I did. I was immediately captivated by these artists. The style of the music is difficult to label, but if you like the music of the 60s, 70s and 80s, you will love this band. They have been compared to Pink Floyd, The Band, The Beatles, The Who, Tom Petty, the Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan. However, these comparisons, while true, in some ways really don’t take into account the quality of this band as a whole. The work is original and creative, the lyrics are inspired and the message is positive. This music is a treasure chest of classic rock, folk, country and psychedelic rock.
Critical acclaim has been widespread and passionately positive. All Music Guide called them “simply one of the finest American bands out there on the road.” The New York Times called the band’s repertory “filled with lively songs that are imbued with the mystical stirrings and idealism suggestive of the 1960s.” And Kynd Music raved “don’t say I didn’t warn you, because with a charisma bordering on cultish, the Slambovians will lure you in and they will become your favorite new band.”
I am so excited to see this group I hope you will join me for what I anticipate to be a mind blowing experience. As one reviewer said “They’re not just a band. That’s something like saying the Bible is just a Book.”
I hope to see you at the theatre!
