Our Take

EUGENE CHADBOURNE & JIM MCHUGH - Bad Scene

With their latest collaboration, Eugene Chadbourne and Jim McHugh serve up a smorgasbord of musical oddities that will leave you scratching your head in confusion, yet tapping your foot in delight. "Bad Scene" is a wild ride through avant-garde experimentation, blending elements of free jazz, noise rock, and good old-fashioned chaos.

From the opening track "Squeaky Shoes Blues," Chadbourne and McHugh set the tone for the album with their unpredictable, off-kilter sound. The pair's unorthodox approach to music-making is on full display as they veer from cacophonous cacophony to moments of surprising beauty.

Tracks like "Toilet Brush Tango" and "Plumbing Problems" showcase Chadbourne's signature style of inventive guitar playing, while McHugh's offbeat percussion adds an extra layer of eccentricity to the mix. The duo's chemistry is undeniable, creating a musical synergy that is equal parts bizarre and brilliant.

While "Bad Scene" may not be for everyone, those with a taste for the unconventional will find plenty to love in Chadbourne and McHugh's offbeat offerings. So slip on your weirdest socks, pour yourself a glass of something strong, and prepare to be taken on a wild and wacky ride through the minds of two musical mavericks. It may be a bad scene, but it's one you won't want to miss.
