Somewhere between Malcolm McLaren and Serge Gainsbourg lies the enigmatic Kim Fowley. His collaboration with Buzzy Bean, a fellow talented eccentric, evokes sexy, '60s French pop but with a haunting, melancholy undercurrent.
Kim Fowley is the next step after Frankenstein and Bozo the clown, with a croaking voice from the Tom Waits / Leonard Cohen school of aquired taste singers. Buzzy Beano is a multi-instrumentalist vocal cameleon who excels at engineering and mixing.
Kim and Buzzy made 5 years of soundlab music experimental recordings at The Apartment Studio in Jefferson, LA. between 1996-2001. Various local and overseas musical penpals participated in these "off the wall" noise experiments....in a pop music framework.
Already underground / subversive music collectors are raving over the results that are Strange Plantations. Kim Fowley has recorded with or composed for: John Lennon - Nirvana - The Mothers of Invention - Kiss - The Runaways - Motley Crue - Alice Cooper - Blue Cheer - The Germs - Them And The Seeds.
Strange Plantations is not music you will hear at Mardi Gras. Strange Plantations is the music you will hear in the about to be built American colonies on Mars and the Moon.
