Electric Bonsai Band is neither electric nor a band...it's actually singer/songwriter Andrew Ratshin, and his acoustice guitar. For years, Andrew was best known as a member of, and principal songwriter for, the group Uncle Bonsai. When this popular trio disbanded, in 1989, Andrew set out on his own as Electric Bonsai Band. With the release of his debut recording, I Am Joe's Eyes, Andrew began headlining at clubs and festivals across North America; with the release of a live cassette, 20 Seconds Of Pleasure (a collection of 20-second and 40-second songs) and the critically acclaimed, But I'm Happy Now, Andrew established himself as "one of the premier songwriters of his generation" (The Maverick Report). In 1997, the release of Lounging In The Belly Of The Beast had Sing Out magazine proclaiming Andrew "an absolute original" and "there's more than enough brilliance here to entice and seduce open minded listeners who appreciate exceptionally well written songs." Now,
Yellow Tail Records is proud to present the long-awaited
Electric Bonsai Band release, Primal Urges: A
Collection. Recorded live in concert, this double
compact disc -- over 25 songs...over 140 minutes of live
music -- features Electric Bonsai Band performing selections
from his previous releases, as well as a number of new
"classics." Richard Foss of BAM Magazine said that
"Ratshin...merges
the humorous and the
profound..."
and to "expect
an absorbing, wry evening of poetic wit and great
songs";
this new recording surpasses those expectations! |
