Swahili Blonde, the new musical endeavor of Nicole Turley (ex-drummer and vocalist of WEAVE!) mixes Raincoat-style noodlings with an early 70’s Kraut-rock tone, reminiscent of Can or Faust. The debut single ”Elixor Fixor”, which features John Frusciante on guitar and Laena Myers-Ionita on violin, will be released digitally on Manimal Vinyl late November 2009, followed by a CD-EP/12”, Man Meat, in Spring 2010.
