| Royal Punisher CD Release Royal Punisher has completed their debut LP of all original jazz music, titled "Bullets for Breakfast". The official release date and performance will be Thursday, June 11th, at Paper Tiger with special guests, from Austin, TX / Cuba, Krudas Cubensi. BIO Royal Punisher, San Antonio's favorite jazz band (voted BEST JAZZ ACT IN SAN ANTONIO 2011, 2012, 2014 by the reader's of the San Antonio Current) is breaking new ground with "Bullets for Breakfast." Their debut record is long overdue for their fans and critics alike. After 6 years of hard-driving jazz-rock-fusion, this creative collective has finally spent enough time in the studio to crank out 34 minutes of highly improvisational, experimental, chromatic chaos, stretching from ultra-bombastic jams featuring the tightly wound and Ornette Coleman-ish stylings of Estevan Garcia's saxophone, Donald Robin's heavy layering of guitar textures and epic thematic statements, Phillip Luna's bass going full speed ahead with dangerous grooves, rude attitude and vintage effects all sitting on top of the fire-breathing drum machine known as Kory Cook, better equated as Tony Williams meets Mitch Mitchell. Formed in 2009 Royal Punisher is heavy jazz. No crooning or standards on this release. Hard lines, heavy groove, punishing licks, and frenetic energy tears this record into sonic fragments that leaves you breathless, excited, and satisfied. Krudas Cubensi, Odaymara Cuesta and Olivia Prendes, are Cuban Hip Hop MCs, Independent Musicians, Poets, Theater Performers representing Womyn, Immigrants, Queer and People of Color Action as a Central Part of World Change. They choose the art as a weapon to fight against oppression, for justice, for balance, for our rights, to celebrate the life. They were both born and raised in Cuba and began in the "Artivism" early in their lives. ROYAL PUNISHER SONG LIST Bullets for Breakfast is six original compositions for a total running length of 34 minutes. 1. Bullets for Breakfast 2. Blood 3. Mejitas Diaspora 4. He Hung There Infinitely Waiting For Her Joke To End 5. Fugue State 6. Three Dollar Bill. write your comments about the article :: © 2015 Jazz News :: home page |
