Description
Billy now does press for many of his idols, but began as a drummer in music school and started Ant-Bee in the late '80s, as a Zappa-esque improv live act and as a Beach Boys–psychedelic solo recording effort. He's released four albums, increasingly featuring his clients.
We discuss two tracks from Electronic Church Muzik (2011): "Flutter-Bye, Butter-Flye" (feat. Michael Bruce) and "The Language of the Body" (feat. poetry by Gong's Daevid Allen and layering on parts by Zappa alums). We then look back to two tracks from With My Favorite "Vegetables" & Other Bizarre Muzik (1994): "The Girl with the Stars in Her Hair" and a Beach Boys cover, "Do You Like Worms?" Opening/closing music: "Eating Chocolate Cake (In the Bath)" from Pure Electric Honey (1990). For more info, see ant-bee.com and glassonyonpr.com.
