Luie Luie has to be the most jaw-dropping one-man-band lounge act found to date. The "Touchy" serves as an conceptual dance album, an experimental album, as well as a sort of healing LP for '60s burn-outs. What can his music be compared to? Nothing that we know of. There are lots of outsider performers, but only Luie Luie lives up to his explosive billing: 'the single greatest act in the world.' Flaming flamenco-ist & oozing music matador who takes the one man band format to incredible metric & harmonic extremes.This musical miracle worker writes peculiarly intense lyrics about dancing (and all the places you could touch your partner, even if he is your grandpa), tortillas, trumpet playing, etc, which he delivers in a Cheech Marin accent that is as thick as his incredible moustache. Luie's climatic trumpet overdubs (14 of them, if I remember correctly) are by all listener accounts trippier than having Jesus himself lay hands on you. Luie continues to play around southern California to this very day. Voted the most talented solider in the US Army, Luie Luie is one brilliantly demented guy. This is a concept album of sorts about "dances" known as "Touchys" that involve, you guessed it, touching people. Some may disagree, but Luie believes that "It is a wonderful idea for people to get together and touch." Although I often practice Touchys myself, my favorite song is a serious one about the "darker side of life" and has nothing to do with Touchys. Luie plays all the instruments himself, and I'm at a loss of words to describe what's going on musically so you'll just have to listen. Read more on Last.fm.
