 Was (Not Was), the seminal, indestructible art-funk collective from Detroit, is back from hibernation and ready to ensnare the innocent with its snaky beats and brain-virus lyrics. The new album and Rykodisc debut, Boo! is set for release on April 8, 2008 in the U.S. / April 7, 2008 UK and worldwide.
Semi-dormant since 1992, when they opened a four-month tour for Dire Straits across Europe, Don and David Was are again ready to rumble and are planning an endless series of live dates accompanied by special guests and friends the boys have bonded with over the years. And to kick things off, Was (Not Was) will perform a special sneak-peak engagement on Valentine’s Day at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, with special guests Kris Kristofferson and Brian Wilson, and will also be hitting SXSW in March. (Stay tuned for additional dates to be announced soon). Note: Kris Kristofferson makes a guest appearance on the closing track of Boo! -- a swirling, psychedelic spoken word number, Green Pills in the Dresser.
ith Boo! David Was (flute, harmonica, keys and vox) Don Was (bass, keyboards, percussion, programming, vox), Sweet Pea Atkinson (lead vocals) and Sir Harry Bowens (lead vocals) have created an album brewing with the unconventional lyrics and funk-driven R&B beats for which the band is known. And, as is the Was (Not Was) way, a host of additional players join in on the party: Donald Ray Mitchell (lead vox), David McMurray (sax and horn arrangements), Randy Jacobs (guitar) Jamie Muhoberac (keyboards) and Luis Resto (keyboards), just to name a few.
The album was produced by Don and David Was, engineered and mixed by Rik Pekkonen, Krish Sharma and Don Was. |
