Devil's Flying Machine

About Me

Also check out www.myspace.com/charlieparr & www.myspace.com/ifthousands Devil's Flying Machine is the unlikely combination of roots musician charlie parr, experimental musician christian mcshane, jazz percussionist David Frankenfeld and sometimes dj Jakob Larson.It shouldn't work. But it does.Based largely on equal parts improvisation and gut reaction, Devil's Flying Machine performs old-time music in the same fashion as the old-time musicians did. Not with sheet music or the precise regurgitation of antiquated music, but instead with unrestrained creation and reckless abandon - the way the old-timers would do it. The way they did do it. They didn't have anything to lose, and neither does Devil's Flying Machine.Somebody left the attic door wide open and now it's in your house.
