I've been debating this for a little while. It would only be a couple hour drive for me and I think I would enjoy them live quite a bit, but I've never actually looked into their music that seriously before (just a couple listens to each album). It's got more to do with instrumental music in general- very rarely grabbing me on a studio album. When I can engage with it in a live setting though, that's a different story. And I do really enjoy both Guthrie and Marco (don't know much about the other to be honest), so...

I imagine this is a band that is much more enjoyable in the live setting. I’m debating going to the Atlanta show.

They are a lot of fun to see live. I wish they were coming near me, I'd love to see them again.

New album just dropped and it's pretty much in line with the previous efforts. I really like this band but I feel like I need another couple of listens to this one before passing judgement. Some songs are way more riff based than any of their previous efforts which is pretty cool and of course there are still the bits of humorous moments etc. Got tickets to see them twice on the upcoming European tour so I'm excited about that :)

10 years ago, on this day, The Aristocrats formed.
And in celebration of that anniversary, we’ll be releasing a new live album (with handpicked material from our last tour) very soon.
More about that in a little while.

Boing, We'll Do It Live! introduced me to these guys. And live is where it's at with these guys. It's more like making an album is an excuse to tour and play music. It's great seeing 3 guys whom enjoy playing their instruments jam together and make musical sounds.  :lol I say musical sounds due to them having fun with music. Like this...

I like them well enough and enjoy their music when I'm in the mood, but I don't listen to them very often, only when new albums come out.

Live is where this group shines. You sense and feel that connection between those three, and it makes for a very enjoyable show filled with great Music. It's just 3 guys having fun playing music and sharing it with everyone else who decides to attend a show.

I find myself listening to their live albums more as well.

I really loved seeing them live, just 3 dudes having a great time playing music. The energy was fantastic and seeing that kind of virtuosity in person left my jaw on the floor.

THE ARISTOCRATS WITH PRIMUZ CHAMBER ORCHESTRA - COMING ON JUNE 3RD!

Check out the visualizer video and preview the album track 'The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde'. Pre-orders are available now at various outlets here: https://linktr.ee/AristocratsBand

This new album reveals a lush and lavish musical reimagination and sonic reinvention of compositions from throughout the band’s catalog.

“This project began when we randomly stumbled upon a YouTube video of Poland’s Primuz Chamber Orchestra performing one of our songs, as reimagined by composer/arranger Wojtek Lemański,” the band says in a unified statement. “Their flawless execution of a highly challenging arrangement (which was startlingly inventive and yet remained entirely faithful to the spirit of the original composition!) inspired us to reach out and propose a collaboration.”

The Aristocrats conclude thusly: “We’re truly proud of the way this project turned out… and we’re profoundly grateful that serendipity somehow brought us all together for this collaboration. Enjoy!”

Sounds good, might have to get this one even though it's just orchestral arrangements of their previously released material.

I missed an Aristocrats show to attend Nick's wedding.

I guess it was worth it.

Great news! I still haven't properly checked their latest, but will have to do pretty soon in preparation for the next :metal

DUCK.

That’s the name of our fifth studio album, coming out on February 16. There’s the big news. And there’s a story to it and everything. Plus some fancy new artwork.

Pre-orders will start in early January. There will be a standard CD, a “DUCK Deluxe”, and DUCK vinyl. We’ll be playing lots of tunes from DUCK on the USA West Coast mini-tour to celebrate the release. It’s all very exciting. :-)

You can read more about it in the press release below.

Thank you again for your support on the DEFROST tour while we worked hard to finish this new music for you!

Cheers to all,
The Aristocrats

*********

Renowned rock-fusion trio The Aristocrats are excited to reveal the album title and concept of their first studio album in five years: DUCK will be available in both standard and deluxe edition formats as well as vinyl on February 16th, 2024. The new concept album will be released via BOING Music, distributed via Hostile City Distro/MVD in North America. The trademark Aristocratic musical mayhem is rowdier than ever, but the band’s fifth studio album is truly like nothing else in their catalogue. DUCK is mixed by Forrester Savell (Twelve Foot Ninja, Dead Letter Circus, The Butterfly Effect) and contains original character artwork by film animator Lance Myers (Space Jam, Anastasia, Quest For Camelot).

Of the inspiration for DUCK, The Aristocrats collectively explained, “It is the story of a web-footed Antarctic Island native fleeing a penguin policeman all the way to New York City… where considerable misadventure and danger await.” Of its genesis, they elaborated, “We’ve always been writing with a storytelling aspect in mind, and our live shows always include our stories behind the songs… But the stories had mainly been about us. Then Marco came into the studio with a song about a duck, and we all looked at each other and said, ‘What if all of stories for the songs on this album… happened to a duck? What’s that story about?’ And suddenly we had a concept album on our hands.”

DUCK will be available in both standard and deluxe editions. The standard edition features the original CD, whilst the deluxe edition contains the original CD along with a USB DUCK drive with behind-the-scenes footage, demos and more, a DUCK pass laminate with QR code for bonus features and a custom Aristocrats-branded lanyard. DUCK will also be available in 180-gram double vinyl.

Coinciding with the release of DUCK, The Aristocrats will headline select dates on the West Coast of the United States. Please see below for the itinerary (click the link in the comments to purchase tickets.)

FEBRUARY
16 - Seattle, WA - The Triple Door
17 - Portland, OR - Mississippi Studios
19 - Redding, CA - The Dip
22 - Mill Valley, CA - Sweetwater Music Hall
24 - Los Angeles, CA - The Echo




This looks fun and exciting!
