Freak Kitchen

[Soul Reaper]

They described one of their albums as 'A corny little heavy-pop-rock-latin-world-jazz-avant-garde-metal-blues-record straight from hell!'

Astonishing band, in my opinion. But unfortunately they're not that well known, around anywhere but Sweden.

Their guitarist/vocalist Mattias 'IA' Elkundh is one of the most unique guitarists I've heard.

yep. they're my favourite band. they're soon releasing their 6th studio album "Organic". should be out in April.

Mattias IA Eklundh's solo albums "Freak Guitar" and " The Road Less Travelled" are probably the most entertaining instrumental guitar albums i've ever heard.

I think elikundh is better than Vai! That's no small feat!!

[Last_Child]

'NO WHAMMY PEDAL!'

[nosuchluck]

i know! i couldn't believe it till i watched one of his videos!

[Soul Reaper]

i heard he did a song with Ron Thal.

Ron thal is also bizzare but awesome.

[Last_Child]

hmmm...That was a nice guitar..

[nosuchluck]

yep. he did a song with Ron Thal on the "9.11" album - its called "Don Pardo Pimpwagon".

Thal (Bumblefoot) is gonna be on the opening song on Freak Kitchen's new album.

Mattias 'IA' Elkundh?

Yup. Very Kewl!

[Soul Reaper]

I like Mattias' 0-string guitar (for drumming) and how he uses a Chinese vibrator to play some of his parts.

[nosuchluck]

the 'Snake Tongue'!

the vibrator on 'Apparatus' from 'Freak Guitar' is awesome.
have you heard 'Chopstick Boogie'? its insane!

[nosuchluck]

bump!

the new Freak Kitchen album "Organic" has been released.
the cd comes with a bonus DVD - the total price is about $15

[Soul Reaper]
