The Stolen Bicycle
The Story
Virginia-based Boud Deun's appeal crosses musical, age, and demographic boundaries, attracting fans from 14 to 60 years of age and drawing crowds to venues as diverse as heavy metal hangouts and jazz clubs. Their music "crosses so many musical boundaries that it almost transcends them," in the words of one critic. Although obvious parallels can be drawn between Boud Deun's work and instrumental greats like the Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Dixie Dregs, and King Crimson, there are additional influences from musicians as unexpected and far-ranging as Minor Threat, The Minutemen and Igor Stravinsky. The band members' diverse backgrounds in acoustic, jazz, punk, bluegrass, and classical music further fuel Boud Deun's innovative instrumental sound.. "The Stolen Bicycle" is Boud Deun's fourth CD. The playing is as sharp and superb as ever, while the compositions (which includes their 38 minute/16 part "Churches" - tracks 3 through 18) are ever-more notable and intriguing.
