The Rudy Schwartz project

What kind of music does The Rudy Schwartz Project play? Uh, that's like asking what kind of music that Zappa played, or Weird Al Yankovic or The Bonzo Dog Band. Like many of my favorite bands, The Rudy Schwartz Project is fiercely eclectic. You can't pigeonhole the music into one single genre, though the songs touch on most styles. I was forced to come to the conclusion that The Rudy Schwartz Project was my very favorite musical act.

I don't know what kind of music you like. But if you are offended by what society considers to be obscene language, The Rudy Schwartz Project is not for you. If you are the kind that will be insulted by irreverent religious satire, you need to look elsewhere. If you like music that is easily definable and sits comfortably in a category in a record store, uh uh. But if you like complex arrangements and performances, laugh-out-loud humor and pointed criticisms of the bullshit in society, The Rudy Schwartz Project just might be your cup of poison.

"Because of my radio show, THE HOUR OF SLACK, I've heard damn near every cool independent tape to come down the pike since 1985, and as far as I'm concerned, Joe Newman's RUDY SCHWARTZ PROJECT material is the most original and the best, and you can quote me."

"Somewhere east of Austin Texas, in a double-wide trailer home near the remnants of Bergstrom Air Force base, a small, wrinkled curmudgeonly old man by the name of Rudy Schwartz crouches over a desk, squints into the monitor of an outdated personal computer, and pokes at a moldy sandwich with a dirt-encrusted index finger."

"Bowling For Appliances" is another of his finest albums, containing the astounding pre-SubGenius anthem, "The Fog and the Dew." Bootlegging Joe Newman off Hour of Slack isn't enough. No SubGenius home should be without the full Joe Newman collection "
