Joe Gideon
Joe Gideon (formerly of Bikini Atoll and Joe Gideon & The Shark) is an eccentric who has been faithfull to his storybook post-punk dance party for almost two decades. Now he has teamed up with two other originators: drummer/producer Jim Sclavunos (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds/Grinderman/Sonic Youth/The Cramps) and keyboardist/saxophonist/vocalist/producer Gris De Lin (Duke Spirit/Gemma Ray/Leila Moss), with a collaboration that has been brewing for two years. 'Expandable Mandible' is the first track to be taken from their as-yet-untitled forthcoming album. Allegedly a true story about a guy Gideon knows who has a weather-predicting prosthetic jaw, it is carried on a jagged groove and a single tense riff that unfolds and grows until it drops you off in the magnetosphere.
