This show was my first time catching Reverend Beat-Man. He is a performer from Switzerland who started as a solo act but has expanded that on occasion as he did with his group Monsters and when he toured and recorded with Nicole Izobel García. He plays a primitive blues rock with some occasional crazy lyrics.
Reverend Beat-Man also runs Voodoo Rhythm Records since 1992 and puts out his own records and other "misfits" as he says. Great label. If you enjoy this go check it out and give him some money.
This show was part of ONE - The Denver International One-Man-Band Fest. Put on by then Denver musician Alex Hebert who brought in one person acts from all over the US and the world back in 2009 for this amazing show. The other acts included Magic Cyclops, Lady Uno, Mosquito Bandito, Delany Davidson, Limbs, Tom Vandenavond, Reverend Deadeye,Two Tears, & Honkyfinger.
I've thought about presenting the entire fest worth of recordings on here but it is a project that I keep putting on the back burner. I figured I would at least get up the Reverend Beat-Man set after all these years.
If you ever get a chance to see the good Reverend don't pass up the change. Guy is one of a kind.
