I know there are a lot of Wolf-bands out there but I decided that Wolff is my name and I'm keepin' it. I've been planning this project and making albums for a while but it has just now come to fruition as a complete entity unto itself. I previously played in some bands out of Austin, Texas where I used to live, one of which was called Drums and Tuba and for a while there we were playing well over two hundred shows a year. This fall I've been hiding in my apartment and working on being able to pull this solo act off live. The concept I'm working with is that all the sounds are generated by, with, and through the tuba itself with the help of numerous guitar pedals and other sundry looping devices. Singing is through the tuba. Percussion is banging on the tuba. You get the picture. And by the way, there's no need to be afraid. It's not nearly as scary as it sounds. In any case, it's time to get out of the east village and bring the tuba to the people...
Thanks for reviewing this album! You should see it show up on the album page in a few days.
The genius behind the band "Drums & Tuba" (who have toured and recorded with Ani Difranco, Galactic, and Maceo Parker, among others) has finally put out a solo album.

Sweet, strange and melodic, Wolff's new work is truly an aural treat. Read more...
