World-renowned virtuoso guitarist and multi-instrumentalist/composer Mike Keneally is set to launch his first full-band tour in nearly five years, bringing his ever-evolving, remarkably inventive musical vision to the Northeast US in early May for five shows in support of his latest Exowax Recordings release, Scambot 1.
From Keneally’s well-documented recorded work as a guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist in Frank Zappa’s last touring band, to his recordings and performances with Robert Fripp, Dethklok, Wayne Kramer, Steve Vai, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Andy Partridge and many others, he’s earned a reputation as someone who can bring an intense, original musical voice to any situation. His extensive and wildly diverse original catalog of 19 albums and counting defies traditional classification, and concertgoers are regularly left awestruck by his band’s high-wire-act execution of the eclectic material. Time Out New York says “this band, with such a peculiar genius leading it, is a thing to savor.”
In a unique twist, this tour’s Mike Keneally Band members also comprise the opening act, the band of Keneally’s longtime bassist Bryan Beller (Steve Vai, Dethklok), whose intricate jazz/rock compositions and tasteful playing earned his sophomore album Thanks In Advance widespread acclaim (“A bonafide entry for bass album of the year” – Chris Jisi, Bass Player Magazine.) The sneakily-titled “They’re Both The Same Band” Northeast Tour 2010features Keneally, Beller, drummer Joe Travers (Zappa Plays Zappa), and guitarists Rick Musallam (Ben Taylor, Byrd York) and Griff Peters (Billie Myers, Anika Paris).

Bass Musician Magazine, a Virtual Bass Magazine Designed For Bass Players and Bass Professionals, is unlike any other as far as content is concerned. We feature a world class staff of diverse and extremely experienced bass players in their own field, covering not just the more or less "how to" approach, but looking into the methodology and personal experiences these players have to offer as well to gain insight on what we hope to make the focal point of this magazine, that being, becoming a better "musician".
Bass Musician Magazine features articles on the most influential players (known and unknown) of the day. Our regular columns cover a vast amount of musical territory with a diverse look at any and all pertinent info that will aid what we feel should be the main focus of any aspiring bassist, finding "your own voice".
We also present an unprecedented audio and video architecture within our virtual pages. We blend the "You Tube" experience with the educational process to better enhance your musical awareness and growth.
We feature "up and coming" players. Through our own experience with MySpace, Facebook and Twitter, we have seen, heard and connected with some truly talented players and we will do our best to bring these unknown talents to the forefront and give them the exposure they deserve.
As far as Bass Musician Magazine reviews are concerned, whether it is CD's, DVD's, books, or musical gear, we will take the time to prescreen for our readers whatever has been presented to us, and review only what in our opinion is a viable option for our readers to consider, so it becomes not just a "review" we're offering, but a "recommendation" as well in hopes of guiding our audience to some alternatives they may or may not have known about that we feel deserves attention.
As Bass Musician Magazine continues to develop, we welcome any comments you may have, and look forward to bringing together the "world wide" bass community.Related posts:
