Alias Nation (Explicit)
Bobby Icon/Alias Nation was a labor of love and most of all a lot of fun to create.
The joy of making music with friends and associates from as far as London/New York//LA/Trondheim Norway as well as right here in good old Austin Texas. My aim was writing and making music for the sake of music instead of "calculated" product.
We recorded in places ranging from Hotel Rooms, Tour busses, Backstage Areas, Dressing Rooms and occasionally at a studio! When and where ever the opportunity would allow us to record we would.
My simple concept was putting the players into situations and songs they would not usually be playing in
with the hope of a few grins and some very interesting results. Example: Pete Zorn on Bari Sax and Warren Hood on violin playing on a slamming hard rock instrumental. Richard Thompson playing solos on a funky techno fusion tune. Danny Thompson who has never done a vocal in his 50 + year career doing a vocal. Michael jerome and Cindy Cashdollar always comfortable doing anything you throw at them. Hence the title "Alias Nation" where everyone is waring a different hat and persona as well as a different name just for the fun of it. Who in the world could Django Placebo be....Or Sexual Tarasment....Yikes...:)
I do hope you will enjoy the music.
