Guthrie Govan is arguably the hottest guitarist on the international music scene today and was featured on the cover of Guitar Player for July, 2011. Bryan Beller has played and recorded with renowned guitarists Steve Vai and Mike Keneally, and is a touring member of the hugely popular “band” Dethklok, borne of the Cartoon Network animated show Metalocalypse. Marco Minnemann has played with everyone from Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) and Adrian Belew to technical death metal specialists Necrophagist, and is looked upon by fans and peers as one of the most gifted, innovative, cutting-edge drummers in the world.
The Aristocrats have toured the east and west coasts of the U.S., most of Europe, Japan, Canada, and parts of the middle-east in the short time they’ve been together. They formed practically by demand after a wildly enthusiastic response to a single performance at The Anaheim Bass Bash during the Winter NAMM show in January, 2011. With just one rehearsal the night before the gig the trio unexpectedly floored the audience – and themselves – with near-telepathic interplay and boundless musical energy leaving heads shaking in disbelief that it was their very first gig. “The chemistry was so great,” recalls Govan, “that when we came offstage we all said to each other, ‘This is working. We should record this.’”
The stage magic continues for new U.S. audiences in May.
