A soul-stirring rock artist with a sound and style that demands attention! Art Gordon aka "Flesh Gordon" Flesh Gordon delivers cutting edge rock that combines many elements of the 70s, 80s and 90s and beyond. Some of the music is surprisingly economical with excellent dynamics and groove filled hooks. Flesh Gordon for maximum effect purposes will break out with full force only when absolutely necessary which works well for the music. The song "Sandy" grabs you taking Bowie-esque vocals and atmospheric chug and milk it for all its worth. This disaffected hard rocker approach works well enough to give the artist this original sound, which is rare these days. The vocals wake up noticeable with "Dark Visions", which recalls NWOBHM and oddly enough, early Twisted Sister. Basically melodic combat accompanied by spacey effects. "Rockit Baby" is the final and most invigorated surge of the set. A thrusting, keyboard laden groove proves a total blast. The guitars have that Cooper "Cold Ethyl" evil funk. Very cool.This innovative rockgroup, led by singer - guitarist Art Flesh Gordon, describe themselves as "A seductive, deep groovin', soulstirring band." This is a good description of them. Flesh Gordon plays straight ahead, riff oriented rock and roll, that is raw, stripped down, and detuned, with some haunting song lyrics. You hear influences that range from Black Sabbath to Bowie to Motley Crue to the Sex Pistols and the Dead Boys, with a touch of Goth here and there. The songs really rock out, but also have a dark, somber feel to them at times. My favorite song on this disc was the closer, "Rockit Baby." This one really rocks! A jammin' tune! They saved the best for last! Other songs I liked were "Sandy", an erotic, dark, suggestive little tune that would be great for a stripper to dance to, and "Eternal Life" a Sabbath-inspired ballad. These guys are a cool, rockin' band with a style of their own. Given the right breaks, Flesh Gordon could blast off into the universe of rock stardom. They certainly have potential. If you're in the mood for a little fun, take a ride in Gordon's rock and roll spaceship! Go on, check 'em out!!! BALLBUSTER MAGAZINE.. Why this name?
Well there is a porno movie of the same name. But I just associate FLESH GORDON with seductive, suggestive rock-n-roll. It helps that I'm a Gordon.
Do you play live?
YES I do! Where ever I can! And I love it really gets my adrenaline pumping. Every gig is important from the smallest club to the arena. My highlight so far was playing to 2000 people in a well known New York club.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Its a great forum for new unsigned bands who are trying gain exposure but dont have the money of the well-known artists.
Would you still sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure wheres the pen?
