Beefheart – Big Dummies! Orange Claw Hammer continue their sacred mission to rework the music of the legendary Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band. Tunes from all the classic albums reinterpreted for the 21st century. After triumphant gigs at Zappanale in Germany, and Mosae Zappa in the Netherlands, Orange Claw Hammer return to the Fringe with vastly different sets each night. Steve Kettey (saxes, vocals); Stuart Allardyce (guitar); Dave Beards (bass); Des Travis (drums). Psychedelic rock meets free jazz meets the blues!
