Bantha Rider Releasing Binary Sunset Massacre Dec. 4; “De Wanna Wanga” Video Posted
Hey there, Star Wars fans. I haven’t seen The Mandalorian at all, but my understanding is it’s a good time to be on board with what’s unquestionably the coolest of the major science-fiction franchises — unless we’re counting Alien, and then there’s no question that’s the coolest — and though each installment of the last trilogy and those side movies seemed to have its share of detractors, the fandom itself persists unabated and across generations. My nephews and their father watch Star Wars together, play the video games and so on. It’s a thing they share. That’s nice.
Set to be added to the non-canon mythology of that particular Galaxy Far, Far Away is the debut album from Polish instrumentalists Bantha Rider. Titled Binary Sunset Massacre, it’s pretty clearly referencing the planet Tatooine with its iconic twin suns, and the title of the new single “De Wanna Wanga,” is what Bib Fortuna says to Luke Skywalker when the latter shows up at Jabba’s palace. You may recall the Bib Fortuna action figure came with the playset. I do.
I wonder if writing an instrumental album about Star Wars counts as fan-fic. I wonder what the message boards would say if they saw this album cover. I wonder if the whole record sounds as cool as the track below.
So many questions:
BANTHA RIDER – Binary Sunset Massacre
Polish trio Bantha Rider’s debut album will be out 4th of December, via independent label Piranha Music. “Binary Sunset Massacre” is an instrumental stoner doom trip across the desert planet with riffs heavy as Jabba the Hutt and rhythm section “too accurate for sand people”.
Band’ve just released their first single called “De Wanna Wanga”.
