Under The Influence Of The Tremolo Beer Gut

Description

Just before the turn of the millenium a new band was formed by Sune Wagner (The Raveonettes, Psyched Up Janis) and Yebo (THAU, Junior Senior, Psyched Up Janis, Heavy Trash et.al) in the back of a tour bus. It was named The Tremolo Beer Gut, and the band has lived on ever since and celebreates its 25th anniversary this year. The Tremolo Beer Gut was originally formed to play live and have a good time, but joined by Per Sunding (Eggstone), Jengo (Trains and Boats and Planes) and later The Great Nalna (THAU, To the International, Heavy Trash) they quickly wrote and recorded an album: "The Inebriated Sounds of ..." released in 1999. The album was a doozy. The monolithic testament to the self-made genre of Surf'n'Western had been minted. Misson accomplished. But then... The Tremolo Beer Gut was called upon to do some music for the Howard Barker play "Animals In Paradise" for the Royal Danish Theater and the City Theater of Malmo. They decided to make a new album in the process and see how they could expand the very formatted format of what they had done on the debut. Being a band of strong dogma (only using the same press photo ever, never releasing music videos, only recording with good looking micropones etc) the way forward was - of course - backwards. Back to MONO! And thus it came to pass that The TBG were the very first band to release a long player album in mono in the new milennium. Released in 2000, the album was named "Under the Influence of ..." and has been sold out for 2 decades. Now, as part of celebrating the band's 25th anniversary, the album is finally re-issued.
