Pachuco Cadaver Beefheart Musical Tribute, San Francisco
Pachuco Cadaver is dedicated to paying tribute to the musical genius of Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band. We are not a Beefheart cover band; nobody could realistically be expected to replicate the sound and texture of the Magic Band except the Magic Band, so we have created a horn-heavy ensemble with a decidedly unique way of arranging some classic Beefheart tunes, as if someone like Maceo Parker had been in charge.
Creating new arrangements and instrumentation is a way to introduce the Magic Band and Captain Beefheart to a new generation of live music fans who may not ever have heard of them.
Part of the fun of getting this ensemble together is playing some of the challenging music that has influenced each of us in different ways, trying to capture at least a taste of the thick sound of what Beefheart characterized as “musical painting.”
