Vile Richard is singer/songwriter Olaf Alders and a quirky collection of musical friends and neighbours. Now, they're all quite aware that it's difficult to describe music on paper, but they've been told (for what it's worth) that the tunes go just a little bit like this:
"Gregg Brady gets turned on to Dylan, gets Marcia stoned, then gets busted by Mom & Dad. Grounded for a month and confined to their room, they work up these tunes."
On any given night there may be drums, bass, vocals, guitar, sax, bongos and congas and even things that are on fire. The players get to exercise their musical muscles on "Amuse-O-Matic" -- an 8 song collection of bittersweet pop. The recordings, which were all made in the cold autumn months of 1999, range from energetic to sad. With the emphasis of the recording being on the songs themselves, harmony is used sparingly and arrangements are often (happily) kept to a minimum. The result is an uncluttered collection of somewhat moody, yet accessible songs.
Amuse-O-Matic presently enjoys college radio airplay on both sides of the Canadian border. Its contents are best described as a snapshot in time -- one which is reflective, introspective and above all lots of fun.
