bradm Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Neil Young - For The Turnstiles Have you ever heard viperHouse's* cover of this? It's pretty good; it's on the "Shed" CD, IIRC. Aloha, Brad * Trey Anastasio's and Vorcza Trio's keyboard player played keys in this band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Nope,can't say I have Brad,to be honest I have never even heard of viperhouse.Not to big a fan of Vorcza so that probally explains it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 viperHouse was actually more of a horn-based jazz/funk band. They played the Ottawa Jazz Fest in 1997 and 1998 (IIRC), and released the 1997 show on CD (called "Ottawa"). I saw them in 1999, and they impressed me so much I went back to see them the next day. They did everything from originals (including one sung by Ray, the keyboard player, called "Swag", which amounts to a musical rap about macroeconomics) to Sun Ra to Neil Young. They're not around anymore, unfortunately, but there's some info here. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
