Ted Baird a.k.a. amasa is a really busy
guy. When he's not playing bass in Kid
Icarus, he is at home crafting his own special
blend of muzik.
krystal klub represents amasa's best album to
date. The album is a sucessful synthesis of
his post punk influences (think Joy Division,
Sonic Youth, Wire, The Church, etc.), but he is
not afraid to get his freak on with some dancier
tracks that recall the well worn 12" dance
remixes humming on his vinyl decks. krystal
klub is accompanied by a bonus disc that we'll
call "catching up with amasa." Highlights
include amazing amasa originals like "bald
bastards," which takes the fury from
Mr. Baird's bizarre redneck neighbors and turns
it into a thumping anthem.
