Avant-garde recording duo of Bob Wagner (drums), and Jason Willett (guitar), with John Dierker (sax). Jason’s Megaphone Records describes the group as “pop yet inaccessible, catchy yet nihilistic, flashy yet naked. There is a ‘No Wave’ spirit as well as a ‘No Genre’ spirit present in their music that taps deep into the human nervous system.” Their second album “Sherbet” described by Megaphone as “21 songs by those swinging larvae, Blob Wagner and Jason Willett. With guests 99 Hooker and John Dierker. The Can Openers use their antennae and various other instruments (from guitar, drums and voice to trumpet and packing tape) to locate stinging insects and beautiful poisonous flowers. Their tentacles strum out shrill psychedelic jazz as well as chaotic pop songs. Serve this CD with DDT.”
