The Lavender Flu

Los Angeles based musician Charles Moothart (Fuzz, Goggs, Freedom Band) released previous solo work under the moniker CFM. Change is the only universal truth, and now it is time to brandish the full name. Mootharts new album Black Holes Dont Choke (out March 8 via In The Red) is made up of love songs for the apocalypse. It is his the most self-assured solo release to date. Heavy riffs alternating with spacious tunes, and a live set that vacillates from fast and loose to groovy and heady. Moothart is now touring with the Fast Band, which is comprised of 4 veterans of the Los Angeles music scene with too many credentials to list. This lineup brings a new sense of dynamic while holding on to grit and drive. All of these factors crack open a new chapter for the Californian multi-instrumentalist.
