ROCK: Modern Rock, ROCK: Progressive Rock
Details:
After four years of gigging and untold hours of knob twiddling, Quasar Wut-Wut has produced an ambitious album that''s challengingly experimental yet ultimately accessible. Lyrically dark but sonically thrilling, TARO SOUND doesn''t fit neatly into any single sub-genre of indie rock. It is the painstaking result of a thinking band''s toil, a teeming cityscape of upside-down pop houses and tangent-taking breezeways echoing with the poetry of Cohen, Newman, and Ono Band Lennon. Imagine Frank Zappa hosting an episode of the Muppet Show if Animal was a klezmer drummer. TARO SOUND is a dense, frantic soundtrack-and it''s Quasar Wut-Wut''s calling card to the world.
Relocating from Detroit to Chicago in 1999, Quasar Wut-Wut took aim at Chicago''s club scene scoring gigs with national acts such as Pedal Steel Transmission, Apples In Stereo, the Lucksmiths, Local H, and the Waxwings; the hipsters responded with moving feet and scratching chins. "What was this Quasar Wut-Wut? We like it, but what is it?" On stage, frenetic guitar lines give way to swells of odd grandeur; the sarcasms of milkmen long dead meet inspired playing, finding manic grace inside folds of loose-limbed indie pop. When the Quasars play, you can imagine Edward Gorey picking up a Stratocaster and crosshatching the Pixies.
TARO SOUND may sound like nothing you''ve heard before, but that''s why it deserves a listen. Approximating the spontaneous combustion of a lost gypsy caravan blasting the White Album and Rain Dogs, Quasar Wut-Wut has an indescribably unique sound. TARO SOUND has been road-tested all over Chicago and Detroit, including high-profile shows at the Metro, Double Door, the Empty Bottle, Alvin''s, the Magic Bag, and the Gold Dollar.
