GUNS N' ROSES Guitarist BUMBLEFOOT Featured On New Q*BALL Single
July 23, 2010Fans can now purchase the first of a series of new singles from Q*BALL, a project led by RETURN TO EARTH frontman Ron Scalzo that features the talents of GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal.
Inspired by newer bands like LCD SOUNDSYSTEM and veteran acts like BECK and NINE INCH NAILS, who use a bevy of studio musicians, friends, and producers to hone both their recorded and live sounds, Scalzo sent an email out to a dozen friends whose music he admired or who he'd worked with before to recruit them for the Q*BALL collaboration project.
"In March of 2010, I conspired to break the chains of the traditional philosophy of writing, recording, and releasing an album," Scalzo explained.
Scalzo will release a new song every month, starting with "The Hum". "Each song will be written by myself and one or two other people, fleshed out together, tracked, and then brought to Bumblefoot to be mixed and sautéed before being served to the masses," he says.
"The days of putting an album out every three years are over for acts much bigger than Q*BALL, so keeping things fresh has become a no-brainer."
Q*BALL has released three albums through Scalzo's independent label, Bald Freak Music.
Q*BALL credits:
Q*Ball - vocals, keyboards, handclaps
Bodega Brad - loops
Bumblefoot - guitars, handclaps, hey hey heys
