Asphalt Orchestra - Asphalt Orchestra Plays Pixes

When it comes to seminal albums in alternative rock, Pixies' 1988 debut Surfer Rosa qualifies as a true game-changer. With strong production and even stronger songs, the album tore a rift in the rock 'n roll continuum, influencing everyone from Kurt Cobain to Radiohead.That influence remains as steadfast as ever among the feverish minds behind Asphalt Orchestra, the 12-piece New York-based marching band with an eclectic ear for new music and boundary-blurring arrangements. The band's unpredictable repertoire includes the music of Goran Bregovich, David Byrne, Frank Zappa, Charles Mingus, Tatsuya Yoshida, Meshuggah, Yoko Ono and more.
