THE ARISTOCRATS: THE ARISTOCRATS
Tracked in just eight days, The Aristocrats debut album The Aristocrats was hailed as an instant classic in leading music publications worldwide, appearing on many of that year's top ten lists. Consisting of nine tracks (three contributions from each member), the material was a melting pot of their respective influences, ranging from the seminal '70s jazz-rock fusion of Return To Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra, to the progressive rock of King Crimson and UK, to guitar heroes like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, to the absurdly complex and satirical music of Frank Zappa and Mike Keneally, and even to '90s groove metal like Rage Against The Machine. In less than a year, The Aristocrats became one of the most sought-after live instrumental rock/fusion acts in the world.
