PRESS RELEASE
ROCK/FUSION POWER TRIO THE ARISTOCRATS
TO RELEASE FIRST LIVE CD/DVD
BOING, WE’LL DO IT LIVE! ON DECEMBER 10

LOS ANGELES, CA (November 8, 2012)
– The rock/fusion power trio The Aristocrats – featuring Guthrie Govan
on guitar, Bryan Beller on bass, and Marco Minnemann on drums – will
release BOING, We’ll Do It Live! The Aristocrats At Alvas Showroom
on December 10, 2012. The release will be in two formats: A
standard-edition, 14-track, 2CD album, and a Deluxe EditionDVD + 2CD
package featuring two additional bonus tracks, bonus audio from
soundcheck, additional candid show footage, and bonus interviews with
each band member. The 6-camera video was shot in high definition, and
the 5.1 surround audio mix was done by Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree. A
2-channel stereo mix is also available.
Formed practically by demand after a single raucously received set at
the Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA in January of 2011, the trio tracked
their debut album The Aristocrats [BOING!] just four months later, and
released it that September to universal acclaim. But the core energy of
the band from the start was their preternatural live chemistry, which
became even more explosive during a year’s worth of worldwide touring.
“We’re all definitely proud of the studio album,” says bassist Beller,
“but we were just getting to know each other when we cut it. Now that
we’ve traveled the world together, we really get each other musically
and personally. Honestly, we spend a lot of time making each other laugh
to the point of tears. I think that really comes through live, the
sense that we’re friends walking a high wire together musically, but
also that, sometimes, we just choose to be extremely silly. Somehow it
all works.”
BOING, We’ll Do It Live!
was captured over two nights in June of 2012 at Alvas Showroom in San
Pedro,CA, and features the entire Aristocrats repertoire, plus select
material from the trio’s individual back catalogs, and a brand new,
previously unreleased song, “Dance Of The Aristocrats.”
