Red Hot Chili Peppers and Chickenfoot skinbeater Chad Smith has announced that a new album by his other band, the Bombastic Meatbats, entitled More Meat, will be released on 19 October. Which leads us to ask the burning question: Where does he find the time?

After all, it was only last year, during the midst of a Chickenfoot tour and the planning stages of the next Chili Peppers album, that the jazz-funk fusion-y Bombastic Meatbats (which also includes keyboardist Ed Roth, guitarist Jeff Kollman and bassist Kevin Chown), released their debut album, Meet The Meatbats.

Somehow they fit recording sessions into their schedules, and as Smith says of the new disc, "More Meat is just that... it has much more music on the bone. We stretched out more, the playing is tighter, and there's a more improved recorded sound, haha!"

Guitarist Jeff Kollman writes about the 2006 live recording, Guitar Screams Live in the liner notes, "This collection of songs is a display of the various records that I have been involved with over the last 10 years. The journey started in November of '95, leaving my hometown of Toledo, Ohio. As fate would have it, I met up with drummer Shane Gaalaas and bassist Barry Sparks to form Cosmosquad. Shane has been drumming and collaborating with me ever since on all of the various records to follow. 10 years Bro! The songs from this intimate recording of two nights in 2006 at the Baked Potato represent the last decade for me from the bands Mogg/Way, Sign Of 4, Cosmosquad, solo material, and my group JKB. I hope you enjoy it." Guitar Screams Live also features bassists Kevin Chown, Christopher Maloney and Paul Shihadeh, as well as keyboardists Ed Roth and Lao Tizer.

Los Angeles based metallic fusioneers Cosmosquad present Acid Test, a co-production with drummer Shane Gaalaas (Diesel Machine, Glenn Hughes) and guitarist Jeff Kollman (UFO, Mogg/Way, $ign Of 4, Crumb Bros.) recorded at Crumb West Studios in Simi Valley, CA between February and April, 2007. Acid Test marks the group's first studio effort since 2001's highly acclaimed "Squadrophenia". "I'm really stoked to have this new record coming out - it's been way too long!" enthuses Gaalaas. "It seems that everything came together very naturally and it was a lot of fun to collaborate with Jeff again. I think we take the listener on quite the journey throughout Acid Test - epic songs with lots of movement, heaviness, some greasiness, and an amazing ballad from Kollman that really sets him apart from other guitar players. The playing is certainly elevated a notch but we still retain the classic 'Squad vibe - the stuff that made us famous, ha ha!"

12. Tribal Trance ( Reprise)


Another brilliant all-instrumental release from the monster trio known as Cosmosquad is entitled Squadrophenia. Retaining the multi-dimensional approach the band developed on their debut album, Cosmosquad have successfully managed to explore new musical territory and expand their sonic parameters on Squadrophenia. Displays of upbeat, funky outbursts give way to dark, hypnotic grooves, spastic madness meets ethereal beauty, and African tribal flavors intersect with melodic flurries to complete a perfectly balanced mosaic of shadow and light. Cosmosquad are that rare three-pronged constellation of stellar musicianship, unique songwriting and forward thinking attitude that allows for great musical things to happen. Squadrophenia is bound to establish the Jeff Kollman / Barry Sparks / Shane Gaalaas alliance as one of the frontrunners of the New Millennium hard fusion movement for years to come.
