2007: High Vulture

Bruce Anderson, John Moremen, Bill Raymond

“Led by the incinderary guitarist of the famed group MX-80, Bruce Anderson and his improv cohorts, drummer John Moremen, and bassist Bill Raymond, High Vulture, screeched, swooped, soared, and even soothed most effectively under Anderson's guidance and special effects. This music is not for the squeamish, however, if you are bold enough to take the journey with High Vulture, you may find them a trip well worth taking.” —E. Doc Smith, BeyondChron.com

Called one of America’s “Unknown Greats” by Guitar Player magazine, Bruce Anderson is best known for his playing in MX-80, the hard-art combo he founded in 1975. Outside of the near constant 30 year activity of that group, Anderson has been active with MX-co-founder Dale Sophiea in the abstract O-Type, and the bleak dualilty of The Gizzards and Half Life. Labeled as avant garde and heavy metal, Anderson has described his playing as a "mathematical modernist in mourning." His 1995 full-length album Brutality was a compilation of two late-'80s cassettes. Outside of related projects in the MX-orbit, Anderson has worked with The Residents, Angel Corpus Christi, Henry Kaiser, Screaming Gypsy Bandits during the early '70s, and most recently High Vulture and French Radio.
