What their label says...
"i want to be a rocker. everybody else has walked away from rock. i
want to walk towards it." - Henry Flynt Taste the magic! Nova’Billy is
another edible audible from Henry Flynt's dusty lower Manhattan bunker
and it stands as one of the fullest, most beauteous document of Flynt's
tenure with a full working rock band to date. For less than one
calendar year between 1974 and 1975, Henry Flynt's hard driving, heavy
jamming agit country rock band, Nova'Billy embraced bareknuckled deep
fried groove attacks, bearded hippie jam band workouts & a
monstrous melange of blues, boogie and free jazz squeal into a musical
soufflé that could only have come together with Flynt cooking up what
was proven to be, time and again, an impossible vision within the
confines of the SOHO art orbit of the 70s. After a couple performances
at Anthology Film Archives and studio sessions in Richmond, Virginia
and Manhattan, the band postered SOHO in a last ditch effort to get
some traction with the hipsters that read, "Party on down to the
Kitchen. Stoned country music for rock country". The gig, like all the
others before it, was poorly attended. Nova'Billy played what would be
their last live gig at the Kitchen on June 27, 1975.Nova’Billy covers a
damned fine and important moment in Henry Flynt's musical career. If
the Insurrections laid the foundation for his anti war primitive garage
rock sound, the emergence, nearly a decade later of Nova'billy is the
realization of Henry's own vision of obtuse personal politics ( "I was
a creep"), provocative leftwing posturing (check their version of the
world communist anthem "the international!") and a gleefully
recombinant spin on southern music. 13 cuts and 60 minutes of old glory!
Tracks : conga / the international / amphetamine rhapsody / virginia trance / i was a creep / lonseome train dreams
