Fresh from a successful run of shows at the 2015 Adelaide Fringe Festival, 7-piece, Sydney-based group Facemeat have launched their new album Questions For Men.
Conceived in late 2013 and inspired by the likes of Frank Zappa and John Zorn, Facemeat’s roots lay somewhere near the transgressive art tradition.
“Questions For Men” deals with the more abject elements of modern masculinity, such as violence, jealousy, anxiety and rage. The album is at times amusing, at others confronting, but always incredibly technically proficient.
Live, Facemeat are equally at home performing improvised and tightly-composed music, in pubs, mixed-media theatres and artspaces, and have twice embraced fringe festival stages around Australia.
This is intelligent, experimental music for those who don’t mind getting their hands dirty.
