Metal for a New Massacre
POSTED: 3/21/2008
Dance the night away with The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, Beneath the Massacre, See You Next Tuesday and Born of Osiris!
Cecil Bennett has a dream. One day, this pint-sized man will have his revenge on those who haze him?thanks to destruction via electric chainsaw.
You may ask, who is Cecil Bennett? First, he?s a midget, and he really doesn?t mind the term when said in a non-jeering way. Primarily, Bennett is a creation straight from the twisted minds of the The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza?and no, this isn?t a band formed to pay homage to Tony Danza, while they perform illustrious dance moves to Frank Sinatra tunes.
These good ?ole Tennessee boys get down to a different tune, one that drowns-out any of the clickity-clack noises tap dancing makes, anyway. TTDTE blow away all the country music goody-two-shoes in neighboring Nashville, with its version of high-end guitars and Tourette?s Disorder-esque breakdowns, giving new meaning to the electric slide. While musicianship and perfection remain important to some in tech-metal land, TTDTE deliver its tech assault one fart joke at a time.
TTDTE take the show on the road this spring with Beneath the Massacre, See You Next Tuesday and Born of Osiris.
