Fancy Bastard
| Photo Tour |
Fancy Bastard
are a Phish-like band from Minneapolis, MN. Upon listening to their CD
'As You Were' I felt like they could easily fit into a funk sort of
classic rock category with tons of jamming. Some elements of Deep
Purple and Carlos Santana were definitely there. But in some songs, I
could hear a Red Hot Chili Peppers type of thing going on.
The song I felt was the most
accessible is Rotten. The reason I felt this was Fancy Bastard's best
cut is because the vocalist and the musicians came together real tight
on this one. The lyrics in this particular song are a bit melancholy.
But what I like the song for is its harmony and catchy memorable lyric
that really stay in your head.
This band would likely appeal to
all the Deadheaders and Phishers out there looking for a good jam band
to rock out to. Fancy Bastard seem to play a lot of venues and
festivals. And right now they have a few dates lined up in the central
mid-west area of the United States, so check 'em out.
