Rock band cactus album6/18/2023 ![]() The lead single for the EP, ‘ Wake Work Sleep’, incorporates a choir layered over the song’s rock instrumentals. So without us actually realising it, in some sense, this EP is about how chaotic life can be and the songs not having a similar direction really worked together to showcase that! Also, don’t forget to drink at least 8 cups of water a day, kids! Then listening to the songs again and knowing what they’re about and how each of 'em has their own sound thus making the EP sound a little bit disjointed I realised that it really does show how life can be chaotic, frustrating and confusing at times and they’re not entirely fun feelings to have but no matter what we will always have water. ![]() But weirdly enough when my dad asked me why the EP was called Shoutout Water and why the EP art has a plane in bits of water in the background, I made up this story about the EP is about how life sucks and that water is the only good thing we have going for us no matter what hence the EP title. King Aloe: We actually pieced the EP together song by song, there wasn’t necessarily an overarching vision – we were just focused on making the best song possible each time.īitch Echino: I always jokingly say these songs are the trials and tribulations of Isaac (King Aloe), but as he mentioned we were just in the mindset of making music we really like and there really wasn’t a vision to it. What was the overarching vision of Shoutout Water and how important was it for the songs to come together in a cohesive manner to support the band’s vision? We started this with 0 material and now to have 4 songs we’re really proud of out there and for me at least, knowing the songs we’ve yet to release there’s only gonna be more for us to be proud of, and I hope as we go along, our songs are also appreciated by anyone who crosses paths with them. ![]() I’m also super excited to start recording our next EP, the next batch of songs (which are already in the works) will really take things up a notch.īitch Echino: Yeah, we’ve had these songs with us for a while now and really we’re just happy to put these songs out there to mark a point in our lives as a band. King Aloe: Feels good to finally have music out, somehow it feels like the tracks sound even better to me now that it’s actually up on Spotify and Bandcamp and all. How does it feel to officially release a studio version of the songs and put it out to the world?Įmperor Saguaro: It's a pleasure, like watching your children grow up, go to college and enter the world, I imagine. A booklet will be packed in.You’ve previously previewed songs from the EP live at your Baybeats set. The box will be called Evil Is Going On – The Atco Albums 1970-1972, and will include not only remastered versions of their 4 Atco Records releases and a small collection of recorded bonus tracks, but also the two volumes of Fully Unleashed: The Live Gigs over 4 CDs. On October 28, Cherry Red via HNE Recordings, will revisit Cactus with an exhaustive 8CD Box. Regardless, over a two year period, the popular band produced four studio albums before dissolution. The band was intended to include Jeff Beck but it was nixed due to Beck’s auto accident. Cactus was a short-lived band that gained popularity in their internally conflicted super group assembly that included Tim Bogart, and Carmine Appice, both from Vanilla Fudge.
