Lucid, sometimes lo-fi and nonconformist, often acid-trip visionary; Jive Ass' themes include peace, psychedelia, conformity and consciousness. From its anti-authoritarian loops and exotic jammy instrumental excurtions to strange samples of volcanic activity its easy to see where Jive Ass Bastard is coming from. As a former member of Rainbowtruth and Uncle Charlie, Jive Ass Bastard has shared bills with Dave Matthews Band, Marcy Playground, Everything, Col.
