“Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a box set, and for my sins, Cardinal Fuzz gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice collection, and when it was over, I wanted another one”…

Please forgive my paraphrasing of this classic line, but what can you do when you have a game-changing release to contend with?!?  Such has been my absolute immersion in all things The Band Whose Name Is A Symbol, that though my soul tells me my initial contact, “seems a thousand centuries ago”, cold hard logic suggests it was actually with the release of the 2nd press of ‘Pathfinder’, around the tail end of 2014. All thanks to the Cardinal himself, Dave Cambridge.

To celebrate the official release of The Band Whose Name Is A Symbol‘s, ‘Symbol Box’ – triple album set on Cardinal Fuzz, here again is episode 11 of ‘chromaticism‘s revolutions on the radio’, featuring an in depth interview with TBWNIAS’s drummer, John Westhaver…

The Band Whose Name Is A Symbol, will need little in the way of introduction to regular readers of chromaticism.

For those of you who have somehow managed to slip through the cracks, or have been living in a cave, TBWNIAS – comprising, John Westhaver, Bill Guerrero, Nathaniel Hurlow, Jason Vaughan, Dave Reford, Miche Jette, and Jan Lis, are the undisputed ‘Masters of the Mole Hill’, formulating “8 years of pushing improvised psychedelia…to the masses.”

‘Masters of the Mole Hill‘ is the 9th LP by TBWNIAS – The Band Whose Name Is A Symbol, perhaps Cana-duh’s best kept secret.

Last year’s ‘Pathfinder’ opus, introduced to the baying UK pack by Cardinal Fuzz, rightly left the uninitiated salivating for more – ‘Masters of the Mole Hill’ consummates that fevered tryst.
