About Me |
|
| Welcome friends, cousins, spirits, and strangers alike. I am here to tell you this IS the real deal.
This is Cicada Omega, the last of the Plague of Locust upon ya.
This is home made from the things YOU have thrown away.
This is the second coming of the old South.
And this WILL move you.
Cicada Omega, from the Land Between the Lakes, the Dark and Bloody ground of old Kaintuck. So I say, GET UP! and hear the old country call'n. Hear the soul, gospel, and electrified, transcendental junk yard blues a crying. And friends when I say junk... I am talking "suit-case, electrified" Bass (see pics) played by a man with smoke'n fingers and a lost soul. I'm talk'n a "resolectric" guitar made from a suitcase, and I'm talk'n about a percussionist that plays old car parts. Can you hear me? This is Cicada Omega, southern harmony set a fire with voodoo rhythm sparked by the word of God. So STAND UP! and prepare the way. For this is a juke joint revival that you can shake your ass to. This is Cicada Omega, the Four Horseman from the blue moon state. Cicada Omega, psychedelic snake handlers for a new age. Cicada Omega, the whisky drinking, tongue tie'n, hard rock'n, rhythm and blues band from the hillsides of Kentucky. Like I said before, my brothers, and sisters, this IS the real deal, so deal yourself in. Can I get an Ah Men! "THESE BONES" - Our new album, out now !!! REVIEWS: Rick Saunders- "Beware! Cicada Omega brings that dirty Kentucky hill holler boogie to DBF by way of their adopted town of Portland, Oregon. Fully strapped with banjos, suitcase bass, guitars, drums and car parts percussion, and snake calling voices shoutin’ hard to their heavens and earth, both, to call up Dock Boggs, John Lee, The Wolf, Ali Farka, Funkadelic, R.L. and Junior. Wanna bet they can do it?" Willamette Week - "What sells the entire album is how ugly it sounds. It's like his axe was strung with copper telephone wire. And the vocals sound as if Winfield were tied to the mast of a ship, railing at the waves of sound crashing over him with Beefheartian fury" Eclectic Groovies - " Cicada Omega performs exuberant renditions of traditional gospel and blues songs such as "Ring Like Gold and "This Time Another Year" that sound like they were taken straight from the field recordings of Alan Lomax. " The Mercury - " If our town was one of juke joints and wooden shacks with stages protected by chicken wire, then Cicada Omega would be the house band. The local rapscallions make bluesy low-fi country that has all the urgency of a call to battle, but still clutches enough subtlety to make their latest, These Bones, a delightful journey into some junkyard soul.
