Leopold & His Fiction
"Fast and loose is the vibe here. The boys in Leopold and His Fiction (of which there are only two), pull no tricks and give it to us straight. The combination of garage blues, country slide guitar and honkey tonk boogie give off a nice toe tapping energy. Some of the vocals have a distorted crunch on them, as if singer Daniel Toccalino was eating the mic (reminds me of some John Spencer stuff back in the day). Musically however, this record is far less hectic than some of Mr. Spencer's stuff. Drummer Ben Cook doesn't over play, lending tasteful variations to each song and Toccalino's guitar play is raw and alive." - The Owl Mag

"Violent, licentious, and rife with bikers, dykes, and depraved demons, the comic art of S. Clay Wilson always made some people wonder if Wilson had mental damage. He didn’t — at least not until an accident early last November left him with severe brain trauma and hospital bills to match. Tonight more than a dozen avant-noise iconoclasts raise benefit funds by doing with sound what a Wilson comic does on the page, i.e., create a dense mess of transgressive weirdness. Sonics range from shivering liquid phantasms (Amphibious Gestures) and fractal-smashing loop fabrications (Skullcaster) to double-bass-and-percussion improvs (Tony Dryer/Jacob Felix Heule duo) and beyond. The odditorium opens at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 11, at the Hemlock Tavern." - SF WEEKLY
