about

The problem is that we mere mortals are warped looms- we are simple receiving antennas. Whereas heaven radiates willy-nilly we are highly directional and, by contrast, profoundly limited. Overwhelmed by the cacophony of clamoring frequencies we muffle the muses with buffers and filters. We suffer from image distortion, improper illumination, bounces and blooming, picture ghosts and barber-polling. Our deflection yokes sizzle upon the ganglion of lightnings bursting from our high voltage anode connectors. The commercialism of death has denied us the the x-ray protection circuits and the sand-castle generators we so urgently need!

Bang Utot is the first full-length recording made by ("The Duke of Uke") Dave King, and one of the first by Joe Futrelle and Rick Burkhardt. It was produced on anfour-track cassette recorder in 1986, and digitally remastered by Paul Kotheimer in 2009.

The music is authentic psychedelic art-folk with excursions in blues piano and the Casio SK-1 sampling keyboard.
