Triclops! ??? Out Of Africa {Alternative Tentacles}

Cross a Triceratops with a Cyclops, add an exclamation point for emphasis & you get San Francisco???s Triclops! Boasting an astonishing underground amalgam comprised of John Geek (Fleshies) on sci fi tremolo vocals & hi squeaky macaw screams, Christian Beaulieu (Bottles & Skulls) ripping on rhesus macaque prog-punk guitar power, Phil Becker (Lower Forty-Eight) keeping behemoth beats on drums, and Larry Boothroyd (Victim???s Family) locking it up with his bucking bull of a Longhorn bass. Fantastic freak outs fuse punk, psych, prog, post rock & experimental into edgy, intensely complex, forever shifting, fresh & fired up precision playing. Watch out for this odd animal, Triclops!, especially since the druggy sedative you shot in its rump wasn???t enough to keep it from prowling & writhing about. It???s messed up & groggy but that???s not to say it doesn???t have claws and won???t rear up & bite you on this weird sound safari.
