about weird al qaida
"Part electronic, part bizarro acoustic psychedelic rock, one could compare Weird Al Qaida's 2016 album Plastic Family to something that might have happened had Sun City Girls, Butthole Surfers and Legendary Pink Dots collaborated on an album to freak themselves out a little. Weird Al Qaida plays out live once in a while, and while its members don't seem like aliens from another dimension, the music sounds like it could be." -- Tom Murphy, Westword
"Weird Al Qaida is working away on their much-anticipated follow up, The Plastic Family LP. The group’s guitar player and vocalist, Ingvald Grunder, recently told AXS, “The song ‘Plastic Family’ has 57 guitar tracks, 23 vocal tracks, who knows how many keyboard tracks, at least five bass tracks. The shriek of a tethered raccoon. The jangling of 77 keys. A baby on helium.” Playing at the Westword Music Showcase this Saturday, June 20, learn more about Grunder along with Weird Al Qaida’s keyboard player and vocalist, Eric Peterson, in this exclusive Q&A." -- Alli Andress, AXS
