Location: Portland, Oregon, USA
Description: A mysterious, nefarious, and demur demeanor. Upfront dark satire, lurid absurdity and pseudo-psychological lesson plans. As a backdrop, a neo-traditional bent, culminated by a favorable twist on vintage sounds. Songs are filled with playfully sin
Biography: Enter Drew Norman, the guitarist and influential songwriter of Portland, Oregons' The Cow Trippers, hired hand for The Sort Of's (Chris Robley's Quintet), and BB's Fistfull of Babies (featuring many musicians including Paul Brainard). Drew has been working on his Professor Gall alter ego in spare moments while the 'Trippers released three critically acclaimed albums during '99 to '04, performing at many regional festivals (including NXNW), building a following in west coast markets, and at the same time touring extensively in western North America as a solo artist. These travels have taken him as far south as Mulege' (Mexico), and as far north as Fairbanks (Alaska), supporting his solo CD 'Safe At Home'.
Press Release: "Displaying influences as diverse as crazed klezmer, artrock, bluegrass, alternative folk,experimental jazz and cowpunk, Professor Gall's 'Intravenous Delusion' sounds like a roller coaster ride through some ragtag Gypsy carnival catering to the broken misfits of a smokey Mad Max world." Scott Lewis, The Oregonian Using many of the same musicians, as well as some newcomers (including some March Fourth Marching Band horn players), the conglomerate presents 'Intravenous Delusion', the first full length studio album to date, to be released on their own BEW Records label. The CD has a 'spirit world' theme throughout-from former life delusions to modern day soul and ghost visions. The music is geared to be a mood-altering experience, the orchestrations pushing and pulling on emotions. The artwork on the cover and inside are all original-commissioned works from the BLEEP art group based in Portland, Oregon. BLEEP art group members include Kaebel Arishi-Kami (curator of Sequential Art Studio and Gallery) and Tony Damico, who currently resides in a correctional facility. The CD was produced by Drew Norman, Shawn Lockhart, Rob Bartleson (Haywire Recording), and Kevin Nettleingham (Nettleingham Audio).
