  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    12" vinyl also available through the following:

    CANADA (Red Cat Records, Neptoon Records)
    THE USA (Alternative Tentacles)
    EUROPE (Rookie Records)

    German edition pressed on pink marbled 180g vinyl - All the Devils is the opening track and first video from the new Big John Bates LP “Skinners Cage”. The song is a ragged rocker but instead of a hyper-amped guitar, an insane violin drives the track. The video was shot in a mad grindshow-style that compliments the B-movie spookiness of the track and sets the mood for the entire album. This is a band built for the live experience.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Skinners Cage via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

The third album to come from the tireless touring machine that is Big John Bates, Big John Bates: Noirchestra now finds the musician stepping out into slightly different terrain. The songs are less full-on rock attack and more exploring of textures and variations while still working firmly in the Americana Noir genre the band is known for.

It’s a very good fit having the trio of guitarist Bates, bassist Brandy Bones and drummer Ty-Ty expanded to include violinist RequiEmily, who greatly expands the sonic capacities of the group.

The 11 tracks include both originals and covers of Marianne Faithfull’s Broken English, Kurt Weil’s Moon of Alabama and Dead Moon Night by Dead Moon.
