Drywall - Barbeque Babylon [Red Fly Records - 2006]

Drywall merger together all manner of musical genre’s to make comic and clever music, with a sneer and sometimes deadly serouresly tone. Coming off like a more new wave version of Frank Zappa’s more song Structured work, but with more darkly curled avant  edges.

Drywall is the brainchild of Ex Wall of voodoo main man Stan Ridgeway, along with  Pietra Wexstun and Rick king. As well as  a large cast of musically helpers- All making a highly enjoyable and varied ride. Goin down to the BBQ  merges Cajun like vibe,with very nice merry accordion pumped out fairground tune and all manner of funny sounds. Wargasm 2005 mixes twitchy Devo vibe, and harmonica licks and ends with spoken word echoed dialogue that very much brings to mind Zappa's Lumpy Gravy.
Land of spook mixes electro pump with vocal samples and funky bass wows and all manner of synth wish and hover. Something gonna blow cleverly merges Bush altered dialogue .that goes from amusing to sinister. over country come bassy background and flute hover  that tips into an almost American Indian vibe towards to. It brings to mind the musically backing from Bill Laswell’s Material's  backing for William Burroughs text on the road to the westernlands.

A highly enjoyable and thought proving trip. Aptly mixing all manner of musical flavour and tone. Of interest to those who enjoy quirky clever song writing, with a sneering and humouress vocal delivery.
