Paulo Giovanni Campo and Texas Davey do it again!  A pseudonym release from the outtakes of the newest funk release.  Perhaps we'll have follow-ups in a Volume II?

New Album: Extraterrestrial Wet Dream

 

Out now!  My latest solo album.  Thanks to all my friends who helped make it possible!

https://lumband.bandcamp.com/album/extraterrestrial-wet-dream

Extraterrestrial Wet Dream is a project (Aaron)Lum dreamed-up, channeling inspiration from 70-80s funk and disco greats like Parliament Funkadelic, Prince, and the Italian disco group Kano. The group tries to connect the lines of funk, soul and disco together with sexual innuendos or being overtly over the top, but with some ghost remains of Lum’s rock guitar shredding roots. It was also an excuse for getting together with new and old musician friends, While Lum played his role on his usual vocal and guitar duties, he got to deep dive into the world of synths from the 70s and 80s along with resurrecting his saxophone playing for the first time since 2008. The album features legendary bassist Mike Watt of the Minutemen, Iggy Pop, and Porno for Pyros. Ex-band mate from the hip hop group Lost History and current People of the Abyss solo artist, Trevor Brown on Drums/vocals. As well as Fukuoka punk rockers; The Born Shit Stirrer’s original bassist, Paul Blair. Special thanks to Jan Bart Leeuw on keys, samples and whistles. Melisa Delgado on Viola, Ryan McMahon with his pertinent information, and Jon Bates for yelling!  

We hope it’s a testimonial for shaking your ass.

Lum's Gone Country!?!?

 

https://lumband.bandcamp.com/album/titanium-country-hits

 

Well, here it is. 12 tracks of a genre I never thought I’d record. Well kind of one genre. Really Americana I guess. But there is some genre bending with some heavy stuff, funk and even hip hop.  Took me years to appreciate country music and basically a lot of digging around in the past dusting some stuff off. I think I came up with my own take on it, although far from traditional. I really wanted an excuse to call up old band mates as well as current and new ones, to make a kind of time capsule of a bunch of people who I’ve enjoyed playing with over the years. There are even some family contributions as well. If you weren’t on this one I hope I can catch you again in the future. This really was challenging and fun to make (even if I was getting obsessive about it). I think I needed this. Big thanks to all of the players on here. Couldn’t have done it without you! Really!  Sorry this blog has been quite this year.  I do have tons of pedal stuff backed up to get to.  I've just been in the studio a lot, which is a good thing.  I'll try to get back to it soon. 

Peace and Love
