This goes back a little bit to the October 20, 1999 gig at the Knitting Factory in New York City, but I thought folks might enjoy a little taste of what it was like to experience the Frond in a live setting:

Well, the mystery is finally over. Having spent the better part of the last decade running up the tab on that capitalist plot to take over the world (plastic money) by hunting "high" and low for Mr. Saloman's recorded output, the missing ingredient in the total experience has always been not catching Nick & Ade in a live setting. Last night's performance (the final stop on their whirlwind 4 1/2 week North American tour) at New York's Knitting Factory put a huge exclamation mark on the oft-quoted mantra, "Yeah, 'their' records are great, but you gotta catch them live!"

Even with his 19th Bevis Frond record, Nick Salomans music won't get boring at all. Hit Squad has more new ideas along with the good old spacerock head shakers, rock ballads, melancholia and a psychedelic end. New to the band is also drummer Jules Fenton. Go and get it! Betti

A new Monsterissue from our favourite Psychedelican. As a surprise it was sold at their gig in Berlin, two weeks in advance to the official release date. A feast for the fan, poison for the dealer, but who cares.
In the titletrack, Nick is kidding himself a bit, as a Rock-fossile, but proves for sure that he isn“t. He is alive and plays his godlike solos, emotionally to the edge of human possibilities. Great and unevitable.

So here it is. The long awaited (by some) follow up to Valedictory Songs.
I'm truly delighted with this record. I feel it's the best thing I've ever
done in terms of songs and performance. Having said that, I always feel like
that when I put a new album out.
However, this time everyone who's heard it seems to agree with me, so it
might be true! I recorded it at Gold Dust with Colin Andrews engineering and
co-producing. Ade played bass and Andy Ward did the drumming. There are also
great contributions from Bari Watts, Paul Simmons and my lovely sprog Deb. I
think it's a bit more varied than previous albums. There's some straight
acoustic stuff, a batch of kicking toons, and also some pretty ambitious
lengthy pieces. All in all, a bit of a corker, though I say

We have been looking forward to this release and we are not disapointed. It's like getting a letter from an old friend telling you was has happened since you last met him. Everything is familiar but still different from what you already knew. Nick Saloman is accompanied by Adrian Shaw on bass and Andy Ward on drums and Bari Watts joins them for one track. When you call the bandpage on this site be patient! Alie added all his records to the database and I think it is a quite complete collection.  Betti

A new set of superb songs, hand-crafted by hand. Nick is in superlative form on this killer studio outing. He goes to town on a variety of instruments, guitars, organs, mellotrons and sitars. Backed throughout by Ade Shaw on bass and Andy Ward on drums, with a fab guest appearance from Bari Watts, Nick shifts gear from frantic psych to lilting folk to out and out pop to powerhouse rock and back again. Available on CD with full lyric booklet, or limited edition 180gm double vinyl in heavy card sleeve with lyric sheet. People who've heard advance copies reckon it's the best Frond album ever, and who are we to disagree? CD; £11 plus postage. Limited edition Double vinyl; £17 plus postage.  Woronzow news

'97 release of this British genius, all done by Nick Saloman alone. Alright, you will find some melodies and harmonies heard before, but this will remind you of the many excellent moments he had. Typical Bevis rockin' stuff with thrilling leads, country ballads, tearbreaking sensitive acoustic songs, jingling ringing tunes, a psychotic rocking protest rap. Bevis rules.
