The rock/fusion power trio supergroup The Aristocrats – featuring Guthrie Govan on guitar,Bryan Beller on bass, and Marco Minnemann on drums – can now reveal the cover art and track listing for their third studio album Tres Caballeros, which is due for an early summer release (exact date TBA). The album will be released in a Standard Edition (CD) and Deluxe Edition (CD/DVD), which will include a 30-minute documentary featuring live and in-studio footage, outtakes, demos, and more.

The “8-bit” artwork represents a new spin on the band’s tradition of animated covers, and was created by Tom Colbie, who designed the cover art for the band’s previous two releases,Culture Clash and Culture Clash Live.

Tres Caballeros was tracked over ten days in February at world-famous Sunset Sound, whereVan Halen (1), Led Zeppelin IV, and Rage Against The Machine’s The Battle Of Los Angeles were tracked, among hundreds of others. The result: Nine new compositions of greater sonic depth and breadth than ever before, with unique textures and lush layering augmenting the band’s preternatural ability to improvise both individually and as a group at the highest levels possible.

The track listing for Tres Caballeros is as follows:

  1. Stupid 7
  2. Jack’s Back
  3. Texas Crazypants
  4. ZZ Top
  5. Pig’s Day Off
  6. Smuggler’s Corridor
  7. Pressure Relief
  8. The Kentucky Meat Shower
  9. Through The Flower

The Tres Caballeros tour spans eight weeks across North America, including the band’s first visit to Canada in four years. The Aristocrats will be supported by fellow rock/fusion power trio The Travis Larson Band. Full details on each date can be found on the Aristocrats website calendar page at: http://the-aristocrats-band.com/shows/

We Were Skeletons/Kids/Paxton/Florence & Libby | 4-Way Split | LP

Item Description: this record is reminiscent of a fire hall show from the 90’s. 4 bands from eastern PA that don’t sound alike, but still fit together in spirit. This record is less about catering to the niche fans of sub-sub-genres than it is about celebrating DIY, music, and friendship. WWS play frantic early 90’s emo for fans of Spirit Assembly, Palatka, etc. F&L is a 3 piece that sits somewhere between hardcore and jangly noisey punk. Kids bring the mosh, knuckle-scraping hardcore for fans of Ceremony or Trash Talk. Paxton fancied themselves something of an east bay pop punk throwback a la the Lookout! Records roster circa 94/95. 500 copies pressed on black vinyl. Each record comes with a 3-color screened cover, a 16-page half-size photocopied zine, and a handful of stickers
