Cedric from TMV going solo 2010-04-18 by oathfbass | 21 Comments | Frontman and co-songwriter for The Mars Volta, Cedric Bixler Zavala has revealed in an interview that he plans to follow in the footsteps in his band and life-long musical partner, Omar Lopez-Rodriguez and release his first solo album. No details were given on when it would be released, but based on what he says we can expect it soon.
FBR: Looking at the number of solo albums Omar makes, he's clearly constantly writing. In terms of songs, how does he differentiate what's for one of his own records and what's for the band?
CBZ: Some stuff he just feels passionately about, and that's for Volta. Or I'll stick my head around the door and ask if we can use something for the band.
FBR: And can we expect a Cedric solo album any time soon?
CBZ: Yeah, there's a lot of music that's ready. I just need to get around to singing on all of it. I've been working a lot with a friend of mine called Deantoni Parks, a drummer who's spent time with like, Tom Waits and John Cale. He plays in this band Kudu who are pretty much a modern version of Vanity Sticks, and he toured with Volta for a while. Omar's made a couple of electronic records with him. He's known as like the live drummer that can sound like a machine.

I wonder if he'll follow in the footsteps of Omar and create one every two weeks.
| | |
sounds interesting. although i still havent checked out much of omars albums
| | |
this will be bad
| | |
Old news.
| | |
meh. I love ATDI, love the first few TMV albums, and even really enjoy a few of Omar's, but I have a feeling that Cedric out on his own won't be something I'll get into. Who knows, he could prove me wrong and I could really enjoy it (and I wouldn't mind that a bit), but I just don't see that happening.

That article is almost a year old.
| | |
Old news tbh
| | |
This doesn't sound like a good idea, tbh.
| | |

| | |

om g
| | |
Yessss, everytime there's news about a new Rodriguez album ( and that happens twice every month ), i skip reading it and wish Cedric would release a solo album...... cant wait ....
| | |
Won't be good.
TMV is great but their music holds nothing that grabs my attention. They were absolute beasts though, and ATDI was cool.

"Yessss, everytime there's news about a new Rodriguez album ( and that happens twice every month ), i skip reading it and wish Cedric would release a solo album...... cant wait ...."
he did a calibration with a hip-hop artists that wasnt bad
| | |
collaboration...?
| | |
I'm not optimistic about this. I'd like to see Cedric front a super-group though. Like, Jonny Greenwood on guitar, Les Claypool on bass, Jimmy Chamberlain on drums. Or some weird shit.
| | |
No one is easily pleased these days. It's just gripe gripe gripe. Fuckin' wait and see. And FYI I fucking adore Bedlam.
| | |
^Haha i agree with the Bedlam part.
I'm actually really interested in this. I mean it might suck, but it will at least be interesting to see what happens.
Also: "Some stuff he just feels passionately about, and that's for Volta."
This explains a lot about Omar's solo stuff, I wonder how he would feel about Cedric saying that?
