Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Captain Beefheart & His Magic BandCaptain Beefheart & His Magic Band were an American band who created music that has occasionally been dubbed "avant garde-blues". Their music was characterized by bluesy melodies, shambolic instrumentation, idiosyncratic, unbound timings, the growls and shrieks of Beefheart's vocals and his surreal, poetic lyrics. Throughout their career, the band's musical direction was tightly controlled by Don Van Vliet (1941 - 2010), aka Captain Beefheart, who subjected the band to intense regimes of rehearsal; this tension combined with poor salary contributing to the break-up of the original Magic Band.
Band From: United States, Lancaster - California
Band Members: Don Van Vliet (vocals, harmonica) with a rotating assembly of musicians called The Magic Band. The First Magic band was: Alex St. Claire (guitar), Doug Moon (guitar), Jerry Handley (bass) and Paul Blakely (drums)
