TAV FALCO'S CABARET OF DAGGERS RELEASED ON LIMITED EDITION YELLOW VINYL FOR RECORD STORE DAY / BLACK FRIDAY, NOV. 23 "NEW WORLD ORDER BLUES" AND "SALLY GO 'ROUND THE ROSES" GOING FOR RADIO ADDS, NOV. 12. “Tav has long been a hero / inspiration to Primal Scream. A true master of rock and roll and a cultural ditch digger on the same level as The Cramps. Thanks for all the great music, Tav. Stay Free!” — Bobby Gillespie, Primal Scream FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / November 8, 2018 – Nearly four decades into his musical career, Tav Falco is poised to take centerstage with the provocative and timely Cabaret of Daggers. Recorded earlier this year in Rome, the album features newly-penned Falco originals which question the sanity of our troubled times, alongside carefully-curated selections from over 80 years of the Great American Songbook. Released by ORG Music, Cabaret of Daggers will initially be available as a limited edition, yellow colored vinyl pressing of 750 copies worldwide, exclusively for Record Store Day, Black Friday, November 23. The standard black vinyl edition and digital download follow on November 30. Black vinyl and download will be available for purchase at https://www.orgmusic.com. Raised in rural Arkansas, Tav Falco embarked on his long and distinguished musical career upon arriving in Memphis in the mid-1970s. Teaming up with local music legend Alex Chilton (The Box Tops/Big Star) in 1978, the duo formed the long-running and still active band Tav Falco’s Panther Burns. Alongside such like-minded groups as the Cramps and the Gun Club, Panther Burns thrived on the early '80s music circuit and were a popular draw at such storied NYC clubs as The Peppermint Lounge and Danceteria. Despite Chilton’s exit from the live lineup in 1984, Panther Burns carried on and the band’s current discography includes numerous studio LPs, EPs, live albums, and compilations. The new Cabaret of Daggers is highlighted by “New World Order Blues,” a crowd favorite when premiered at this spring’s Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis, TN. The thumping, strutting track takes thinly-disguised aim at our current instigator of global chaos. “Dumb yourself down, or get out of town is the current message from the U.S. government,” says Falco. “Is America going to sell out its ethical dignity for a pseudo bubble economy predicated on scorched earth policy? Moral bankruptcy and malignant rage reign down from the highest echelons, while honest Americans are either duped or forced off the grid.” If you’re at all familiar with Tav Falco’s Panther Burns, the band’s reputation as a world class rock & blues party revue looms large. Falco’s current lineup of the group, which also backs him on this solo effort, is comprised entirely of Italian musicians sympatico with the dynamic Panther Burns legacy. Mario Monterosso, who has been at Falco’s side since his 2014 solo album Command Performance, produced the album, provided arrangements, and plays the lion’s share of guitar. Francesco D’Agnolo  dazzles on acoustic piano, Hammond organ, and accordion. The nuanced rhythm section is provided by Giuseppe Sangirardi on electric bass and Riccardo Colasante on drums and percussion. PRAISE FOR TAV FALCO “I don’t think folks give Tav Falco and the Panther Burns enough credit. The Gun Club and The Cramps get mentioned a lot, but Tav Falco is hip!” — Jon Spencer, Blues Explosion “... the inimitable Tav Falco and the Panther Burns. I have been listening to his stuff since his first LP,Behind the Magnolia Curtain, when Tav, along with The Cramps, turned a whole new generation on to the twisted pleasure of rock ‘n’ roll. He’s got everything — rock ‘n’ roll, blues, tango, style in abundance, and most important but never overrated, SOUL.” — Jason Pierce, Spiritualized “Like a lot of artists I admire, Falco has mapped his own terrain and stuck to it, repelling the tide of trends and breathing new life into the art scene of America’s Deep South.” — Nick Power, The Coral “Tav Falco has spent much of the past three decades crafting a revisionist pop culture history. He was post-modern when post-modern wasn’t cool.” — Variety “Not only is Tav Falco one of the most enigmatic and authentic musicians out there, it’s hard to think of a bigger champion of underground music, art and literature in the modern age. What’s he like? Imagine if Harry Dean Stanton was cast in a biopic about Gene Vincent and the film was directed by David Lynch.” – Stereo Embers Podcast CONNECT WITH TAV FALCO Website | Artist Page | Facebook | Spotify | Twitter | YouTube |
