Judi Chicago - X 1,000,000 cd

Judi Chicago is the dual-identity of Ben Coleman & Travis Thatcher. Ben, a DJ / Musician / Whatever, moved from London, UK to Atlanta, GA in 2006. He quickly fell in with Travis Thatcher, who for many years has been an unpredictable and genre-bending musical presence in and around Atlanta's electronic and experimental noise scenes, as Recompas, Vim Viggins, and as 50% of Go Back to Europe. In the short and hectic months following their first recordings and live appearances in January 2007, Judi Chicago has already played a wealth of gigs, house parties and the occasional garden party, in the excellent company of bands like Battles, Gravy Train!!!! & Bonde Do Role. Their reputation as a formidable and unpredictable live act continues to grow as they bemuse, excite and move the crowd at every opportunity. Written, performed and produced by Judi Chicago, this cd is a ragged manifesto: a filled-to-the-brim bucket of bass lines, drum beats, dada-nonsense, spontaneous poetry, cowbells & cosmic slop. Judi Chicago is the point at which the inspired ramblings of Mark E Smith and Shawn Ryder collide with the jacking beats and bass of early house music greats like Farley Jackmaster Funk and DJ Pierre. The thick analogue basslines of Parliament, Prince and the Gap Band dry-hump the relentless grooves of Derrick May and A Guy Called Gerald. Cerrone is playing drums and Lemmy is playing bass, and the whole thing is taking place during a zero-gravity food fight between Sly & the Family Stone and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in outer space (refereed by Daft Punk and Underworld).
