THE SOUND OF ZERO GRAVITY IN FREEFALL
Songwriter Bodie Plecas and former Red Vines bandmate, Goffrey Moore form the core of Picnic Tool. Bodie plays guitars, keyboards harmonica, and and handles vocals. Goff plays bass, and the shredding lead guitar on the title track. The crisp live sounds of the EP are a product of Goff’s signature sound production, and the great hardwood floor in his old Beachwood Canyon bedroom in Hollywood.
Rounding out the trio is longtime friend Larry Aberman, who honed his mighty skills playing with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Nile Rogers, Ric Ocasek, and many others. Drums on About Gurls are thumped by Goff and Bodie’s former Red Vines bandmate, and current Mr. Danmark, Joseph Moore.
To maintain spontaneity and adrenaline, Goff insisted everything was recorded in no more then two takes.
Picnic Tool returns in 2022 with a new full length record of brand new songs, that sounds completely different from anything they’ve done before.
