About the show

Formed in 2011 by Steve Kettley (Pygmy Twylyte) OCH are a million miles from being a tribute. Psychedelic rock meets free jazz meets the blues, exploring the classic albums, paying homage to the legendary Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band.

Featuring - Orange Claw Hammer

Orange Claw Hammer appearing at this event

After the death of the avant-rock genius Don Van Vliet, better known to the world as Captain Beefheart, in December 2010, the improvising quartet Ego Ergo Aggro decided to play a one-off tribute to the great man at the Click Clack Club in Edinburgh in January 2011. This was such a blast for audience and band alike that we decided to develop the repertoire further, and were transformed into Orange Claw Hammer. Not really a “tribute band” as there are only occasional vocals, tunes from most of the Captain’s albums are interpreted as instrumentals with room for improvisation. Not too many liberties are taken so as not to disappoint Beefheart aficionados!
