Imagine a Minutemen/Pere Ubu/Zappa/Beefheart/jam band concoction and you are pretty close to Hampton Grease Band and their album Music to Eat, the second-lowest selling album in the history of Columbia Records.
Halifax is a sprawling spazzy freaky travel guide to the capital of Nova Scotia. You will learn such items as:
1) Edward Cornwallis - first Governor of Nova Scotia.
2) Six-thousand-six-hundred-and-thirty-eight miles of graded road.
3) It’s filled with bridges Well, take a look There’s certain scenery And babbling brook.
4) got candy apples Little Debbie’s I.D.’s And many things You would want.
If you can get past the frantic shrieking vocals of Bruce Hampton, you are in for a Mr Toad's Wild Ride of guitars, courtesy of Glenn Phillips and Harold Kelling. The road changes all the time, speeding up and slowing down...for twenty minutes. Enjoy the ride, just make sure you have your Dramamine.
