John Frusciante reemerges as Swahili Blonde
February 19, 2010
Many folks have been wondering what the hell John Frusciante was planning on next when he decided to leave Red Hot Chili Peppers a few months ago. After a short time of silence, the guitar god has reemerged in a new project called Swahili Blonde. Head over to the band’s myspace page for a taste of their unique style of “Afro-beat/Tropical/Tango.” If you dig it, look for the group’s debut LP Man Meat sometime this summer on Manimal Vinyl.
According to Chart Attack:
“The group comprises Frusciante and former Weave! percussionist Nicole Turley. Man Meat will also include guest appearances from Duran Duran’s John Taylor, The Like’s Alina Meyer along with her father Alan Meyer of Devo. No track list has been announced, but “Tigress Ritual” will appear on Man Meat. You can hear four other songs on Swahili Blonde’s MySpace page.
Man Meat will be released digitally, on CD and LP this summer on Los Angeles indie label Manimal. The group will perform in and around the Los Angeles area this spring, but there’s no word whether a more extensive tour is in the works.”
