Chubby Thunderous Bad Kush Masters to Release Come and Chutney July 13; New Song Streaming
I’m just going to say this: I’ve been waiting a while for Come and Chutney. I’m 36 years old, and that’s a sentence I don’t think I could’ve imagined writing until today, but it’s true all the same. The debut album from London misfits Chubby Thunderous Bad Kush Masters has been on my anticipated list pretty much since their debut EP, Earth Hog (review here), and certainly since they signed to Riff Rock Records in 2016 and released their split with Ten Foot Wizard (review here). If you heard the unhinged sludge rock of either, you probably don’t wonder why, and after streaming the new song “Cojones Feos,” I’m curious to hear what the rest of the album has to offer. It’s a rare band that can be so delightfully weird and still maintain such a wanton sonic impact.
Then again, it’s also a rare band who’d call their first album Come and Chutney, so I guess any way you want to look at it, Chubby Thunderous Bad Kush Masters are working on their own level here. So be it.
From the PR wire:
British Psychedelic Power Trio CHUBBY THUNDEROUS BAD KUSH MASTERS Announce Debut Album Details; Stream New Single
Come & Chutney to be released via Riff Rock Records 13th July
British psychedelic power trio CHUBBY THUNDEROUS BAD KUSH MASTERS have announced their debut album Come & Chutney will be released via Riff Rock Records on July 13th 2018.
Pre-orders are now available via Riff Rock Records here.
Ahead of the album release the band are streaming their single ‘Cojones Feos’, listen here: https://chubbythunderousbadkushmasters.bandcamp.com/track/cojones-feos
Come & Chutney is a sublime pilgrimage through 8 tracks of cosmos drenching, riff slinking, indignantly delirious, fuzzed out Chubbiosity. And a song about Donald Trump.
The album features several guest appearances including guest vocals from Chantal Brown of Vodun, guest guitar solo from Gary Harkin of Ten Foot Wizard, and guest keyboards by Thom Carter of Riddles on closing track ‘Psychedelic Hallucinogenic Vagrancy’.
The band comments: “Expect the same heavy dose of excessive wah, cheap pedals, throat hocks & greasy döner all in the usual Bad Kush way. These songs were written in between numerous tours about everything from the best kebab to totalitarian demons. Recorded and hot boxed in September 2017 then mixed and mastered March 2018.“
Defying normal conventions, Chubby Thunderous Bad Kush Masters exist solely to leave the listener with one thought, “that was some weird shit.”
The London band (which includes former Dopefight frontman Owen Carty) have been turning heads on the UK’s burgeoning underground scene not least because of their combination of tie-dye and corpsepaint, but with a staggeringly heavy live show that has everyone who sees them agreeing that they’re about to become huge. Probably.
Their debut EP “Earth Hog” fused sludgy, blues riffs with stoner rock overtones and was recorded and produced by Sam Thredder of Slabdragger. They followed this with the Split EP “Special” with Ten Foot Wizard in 2017.
The band’s tongue-in-cheek approach belies their dedication to all things heavy and riff-shaped. A jaw-droppingly powerful live band, Bad Kush have already completed two European tours with Bongzilla, Boss Keloid and Ten Foot Wizard, headlined the Black Heart on the final day of Desertfest London 2017 playing alongside such legends as Sleep, Slo Burn and Turbo Negro and repeated circuits of the UK’s underground scene since their inception in late 2014. Having supported the likes of Slabdragger, Dopethrone and Honky, audience members have picked up on the band’s vibe and now blow bubbles in appreciation of the band’s heaviest riffs.
Come & Chutney will be released via Riff Rock Records on 13th July. Pre-orders are now available here.
