Big Scenic Nowhere – the band featuring guitarists Bob Balch (Fu Manchu) and Gary Arce (Yawning Man), Tony Reed (Mos Generator) on vocals, bass, guitar and synthesizers, and Bill Stinson (ex-Yawning Man) on drums – is back with a new single "The Waydown" and a new record of the same name due out February 2. "The Waydown" marries some pretty beefy desert-styled riffs with some seemingly jazz fusion-inspired jam sections that really add a unique flavor.
The Waydown features special guests Reeves Gabrels (The Cure), Per Wiberg (ex-Opeth, Spiritual Beggars), Eliot Lewis (Hall and Oates). It was recorded at Gatos Trail, HeavyHead, Red Barn Recording Co. and Casa De Balch, and mixed and mastered by Reed at HeavyHead Recording Co. Pre-orders are available here.
