This sounds pretty awesome

This might actually be very enjoyable. Drum and Guitar work is fucking incredible, and of course, the bass as well. I'll check out the full thing when it's released.

Guthrie Govan is awesome, Marco Minnemann is good from what I know, and Bryan Beller PLAYED FOR FUCKING DETHKLOK. What's not to love?

Tripp · « **Reply #4 on:** August 07, 2011, 10:51:19 PM »

This is actually a really good combination of artists, and they seem to be able to work together quite well.

The Letter M · « **Reply #5 on:** August 08, 2011, 12:06:08 AM »

This sounds pretty sweet! Govan is amazing from what I've heard (I like his work on the GPS album Window To The Soul), and Beller's credits include several James LaBrie solo albums, and Marco is just Marco!

I'll have to add this to the (massive) list of albums coming out in September that I want to get...yikes.

Also, they're touring in September/October and will be in Baltimore! I may have to make it out to see these guys if the album is as killer as the samples make it seem!

I will check this out when I'm not at work. Guthrie is fucking incredible.

I originally thought the title said "Aristocats" and thought it was going to be related to the film. I am disappointed

I just Minnemann'd

Guthrie Govan is one of my favorite guitarists ever, I have to get this... preview was EPIC

The Letter M · « **Reply #9 on:** September 13, 2011, 11:23:33 PM »

So I pre-ordered the album and got my Digital Download earlier today. Gotta say, this is some tasty rock-trio jazz/fusion/rock!!!

I love proggy instrumental bands, and this is no exception. I've been anxious to hear this once I heard Marco was on board, but with the addition of Guthrie, it topped it, and it totally lives up to my expectations. This album goes EVERYWHERE, and in a good way. It's very frantic but also very smooth at the same time. This is all after one listen, so there will definitely have to be a lot more, but this is pretty good stuff! I would enjoy more albums from them!

This is one of 2 rock-trio releases I've looked forward to this fall, the other being Levin-Torn-White, which promises some interesting pieces (of course with Tony Levin involved, it's gonna be good).

-Marc.

FTFY.

I will listen to this as soon as I can. It seems to be some pretty good shit.

Also, did anyone else notice that their initials are all the same first-and-last? Coincidence? G.G., B.B. and M.M.

Weird...

At least they didn't go around calling themselves BMG Music lol

He used to teach at ACM in Guildford before I started. He's not there now

ytserush · « **Reply #14 on:** September 17, 2011, 07:19:32 PM »

Not really a fan of Guthrie's work with Asia and GPS, but I'll likely pick this up at some point due to the other guys and the promise of fusion.

Nekov · « **Reply #15 on:** September 26, 2011, 08:37:23 PM »

Just got the album today. It is very interesting. Some jazz, some blues, some rock.

ariich · « **Reply #16 on:** October 01, 2011, 03:34:11 AM »

Listening right now on Spotify, really digging it. The riffs in Sweaty Knockers (best title ever as well) are so good!

TimmyHiggy · « **Reply #17 on:** October 20, 2011, 04:27:43 AM »

Just found out about this band whilst on a bit of a youtube adventure last night.
Everyone loves Goven's guitar playing right? and that is definitely a kick ass rhythm section no matter how you look at it.

I'll just post a link to their album preview and be done with it, I think they are great. Nice quirky instrumental prog

Wow. That was very impressive.

TimmyHiggy · « **Reply #19 on:** October 20, 2011, 05:59:14 AM »

Just found the whole album on spotify, even though the album isnt actually released until next week (in the UK at least)
It does not disappoint.

We had a thread already...

We have this STICKY thread for a reason: https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=27964.0

Anyway, the album wasn't perfect for me - it was good though.

This. Dammit Tim, pay attention! Threads merged.

Anyway I'm still really enjoying the album, it's so much fun!

Dammit, I always look straight past the stickies because they change so infrequently, serves me right for being a minimal poster for the past year but still not really checking those stickies...

I have listened to the album a couple of times today, really great music. Like the best bits of prog rock and jazz colliding!

Anyway, the album wasn't perfect for me - it was good though.

Guthrie did a 2 hour talk/clinic at my college today, it was so good. He's a bit mental, quite funny and a fucking deity on the guitar

I ordered their deluxe live dvd/2cd with shirt. Really awesome stuff. Cant wait to preorder their new album. Boing

ReaperKK · « **Reply #27 on:** June 10, 2013, 12:35:32 PM »

Can't wait for new Aristocrats stuff, I also can't wait to see them live in July.

ariich · « **Reply #28 on:** June 10, 2013, 01:49:30 PM »

That vid was so awesome, looking forward to the new album!

I just recently discovered The Aristocrats and it seems like perfect timing. I love the first album. I'm very excited for this new album! sounds awesome!

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #31 on:** June 16, 2013, 08:43:37 PM »

The live dvd is pretty awesome.

rumborak · « **Reply #32 on:** June 16, 2013, 11:45:16 PM »

I wish I was more into this, given how much I love their involvement in SW. But, the lack of hooks just doesn't keep me captured long enough.

August for me, and I'm blowing off Winery Dogs and Yes to do it.

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #34 on:** June 20, 2013, 08:01:29 AM »

I hope their scheduled show at the now shutdown-for-renovations Station 4 in St.Paul, MN is able to be moved to another venue by the date of the show in August.
