Juggernaut by Electric Chair 3000 On Dreaming Beach Party 2

"Juggernaut" is one of two songs by Electric Chair 3000  available on the Rosenklang compilation called Dreaming Beach Party 2.  It is one the few songs that I ever done that I had never changed anything on.  It was composed as is and has never changed.

At the time of its composition, I was trying to make a song that combined funk, trop rock,  Caribbean rhythms,  and California surf rock. Yes.

In my mind,  I succeeded which why I have never changed it.  It one of the few songs I've done that I really love.

Currently, I have two songs on Dreaming Beach Party 2.  The other is called "Southland".  Both are 89 cents each.  Only 89 cents.  Less than a dollar.

Sometime this year, I will release the album called Juggernaut which features a whole selection of songs which combine funk, trop rock, Caribbean rhythms and California surf rock.  Be on the lookout.  Alert the media. Warn your family and friends.

"Juggernaut" and "Southland" composed by Anthony Lloyd.

Slam Slam Slam By Electric Chair 3000 Now On Japan 3 Compilation

Way back in 2001, I composed a song called "Slam Slam Slam" for my group called Teflon.  Teflon was an experimental project where I tried to combined funk and electronica into some sort of workable combo.  The first Telfon CD was called "Turn That Shit Off Now!!!" which is what I would suspect someone to say if they heard it blasting out of radio, mp3 player or car.

Not one to be settled, I tried to mix and mash as many different styles of music into a solid whole.  Truth be told, I get bored with one sound or style if it is played over and over.  I can listen to 80's pop, hip hop, heavy metal and 70's funk in one setting.  This doesn't make me special, I just want to let readers know where I'm coming from musically.

Back to "Slam Slam Slam."  The song is now featured on a second Rosenklang compilation. The first one is called A Collection of Asian Pop.  The song is also featured on the new compilation called Japan 3.

Both versions are 89 cents. So help a brother out and go buy one or both if you're really feeling charitable.  

Once again, the group is credited as The Electric Chair.  Why? Because at one time it was called The Electric Chair.  After thinking it over, I decided to change the name to Electric Chair 3000. Why? Because there are several other bands called The Electric Chair.

Rosenklang Records commissioned this song from my music publisher before the name change.

Thanks for reading. Go write some great songs.

Jupiter Eyes - Mary Win (Original Music Video, Epiphone)

From Mary Win: Here in Washington State it will be rain, rain, rain until June. Not big dramatic showers and large puffy clouds but instead, solid gray skies and a slow maddening drizzle. Of course the plants love it. This video was shot at a local State Park under the protection of a covered barbecue pit. It almost looks like a green screen behind me but it is natures original green screen, plants :-) Cheers, ~Mary Win.


Electric Chair 3000: I ran across this artist accidently but I'm glad I did. Being the sucker for acoustic guitar, thoughtful and introspective lyrics and hustling artists, I had to post this song by up and coming artist Mary Win.

To those who hate or hate on the current pop music, I always say that the music you want or desire IS OUT THERE, if you would go out and look for it. This is a the new digital age. Take advantage of it.

Back to Mary Win, she describes her sound as "sweet and sour." Go to her website and find out concert dates, up and coming projects, and a lot of soul searching music.

"The Robots" By Kraftwerk/E.C. 3000's Influences

From Kraftwerk: Classic 1977, Kraftwerk videoclip of The Robots. Kraftwerk, the pioneers of electronic music.

From Wikipedia: The Robots" (originally Die Roboter) is a single by the influential German electronic music pioneers, Kraftwerk, released in 1978. The single and its B-side, "Spacelab", both appeared on the band's seventh album, The Man-Machine. However, the songs as they appear on the single were scaled down into shorter versions.[1] In 1991, a remix of the song was issued as a single from the band's remix album The Mix.

Kraftwerk aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. A lot of bands I like aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as you will see in the next few posts.

Their sound is a combo of electric, classical, disco and pop. A mix they pull off very well.

Check out: Numbers, Trans Europe Express, and It's More Fun To Compute.

War - The Cisco Kid/E.C. 3000's Influences

From RakyMaky on YouTube about War: One of the most popular funk groups of the '70s, War were also one of the most eclectic, freely melding soul, Latin, jazz, blues, reggae, and rock influences into an effortlessly funky whole. Although War's lyrics were sometimes political in nature (in keeping with their racially integrated lineup), their music almost always had a sunny, laid-back vibe emblematic of their Southern California roots. War kept the groove loose, and they were given over to extended jamming -- in fact, many of their studio songs were edited together out of longer improvisations. Even if the jams sometimes got indulgent, they demonstrated War's truly group-minded approach: no one soloist or vocalist really stood above the others (even though all were clearly talented), and their grooving interplay placed War in the top echelon of funk ensembles.

A major influence on Electric Chair 3000. In our songs, "Juggernaut", "Onslaught" and "Reborn" we try our best to imitate many of the musical elements of War along with a couple of other artists.

"The Cisco Kid" is a great song.

War, for some reason, are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Slippin' Into Darkness By War/ EC 3000's Influences

From Wikipedia: "Slipping Into Darkness", backed with "Nappy Head", was War's first big hit since their name change from Eric Burdon and War. The song is based in part on "Get Up, Stand Up" by The Wailers (composed by Bob Marley and Peter Tosh), although this is not acknowledged in the composer credits. (The spelling was changed slightly to "Slippin' Into Darkness" for the single, and is also used on a CD edition of the album.)[1][2] An earlier single was "All Day Music" backed with "Get Down".[2] A subtitle for "Nappy Head" claims it is the theme from Ghetto Man, but there does not appear to be any notable film or television series with this title, and it may refer to a series that never went into production. "Baby Brother" is a live track recorded at the Hollywood Bowl, June 30, 1971, at an event called the United Artists 99 Cent Spectacular; a studio version of this song retitled "Me and Baby Brother" appeared on a later album, Deliver the Word (1973).

War is best known for the song "Low Rider" aka the theme to "George Lopez" which was on ABC but now is in syndication. However they produced many great songs including: "The Cisco Kid", "Me and Baby Brother" and "Slippin' Into Darkness."

A major influence on Electric Chair 3000 and yet another band NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Their sound is a combo of r and b, pop, latin, jazz, rock and reggae done well.

Check out: "The Cisco Kid" & "Low Rider" for further evidence.
