Man Upset About Shopping

Is original eclectic music dead??

Not according to this whacked out band. I was trolling through the mp3 pages on the Australian site
mp3.com.au and came across this bizarre combination of original music across a wide range of genres complete with crazy MSPaint images for each track and just had to check it out.

Who is this man? Why is he so upset about shopping? I still don't know but I'm glad someone's out there making this kind of dark hilarious stuff. It's definitely a refreshing break from the normal stuff we hear.

Sure he could do with some better musical ability (especially the drum tracks on some songs) but overall this is pretty impressive for what seems to be a solo effort. Well, he claims to have four strange musicians who he made up ... they're all him. Confused? You should be ... but that's what makes this audio journey worth the visit http://www.mp3.com.au/artist.asp?id=17359

How many bands do you know who can try their hand at comedy, blues, rock, punk, techno, pop and almost pull all of them off? Not many. And this guy isn't even a signed artist! There are a great deal of other bands on this site which are worth checking out. Many offer free downloads and explanatory profiles. I can sit there for hours going through tracks and laughing at many and find some rare gems like Man Upset About Shopping and god help us all, Benny the Beefswizzler (his content is not for the feint hearted).

So to answer the original question NO original ecclectic music is not dead and bands like this who create such a clash with cultural trends (and ok, sometimes your eardrums) are proving it. What a great time to be alive!
