Editorial Reviews

Local Flavor, October 2001

The overall impact of these 13 originals is that Snipe Hunt are first class musicians with incredible versatility.

Product Description

The band's sound mixes rock, worldbeat, funk, and blues in a unique manner that reflects the wildly divergent musical tastes of the individuals involved. Snipe Hunt's musical philosophy is that four musicians playing together are always at risk of creating songs that sound too similar to each other--therefore, the band tries to touch on as many interesting styles of music as possible (though, it should be noted, that this CD is a "no polka" zone). Lyrically, the songs range from observations of the ugly political and cultural realities of living in this place at this time to just plain cheap sexual innuendos. And, for the first time on a modern Western audio recording, you will be able to hear the sounds of an actual snipe hunt (recorded surreptitiously) from insidious beginning to sad, lonely ending. Snipe Hunt touches upon the Classics in its crepitatous recording "Snipe Hunt Sonata No. 43 in E flat."

5.0 out of 5 stars The monkey knows, August 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: We'll Be Right Back! (Audio CD)

The task: to explain to the uninitiated as well as those in the know what the Snipehunt CD sounds like. Mission impossible. A discourse on quantum physics would probably make more sense. Weird, obviously, is a given. Reading the lyrics and listening to the stunning vocals and indescribable slap-and-slash bass, one gets the sense that they are completely immersed in a strange world. Though the CD doesn't exclude the average listener (everyone is welcome!), those without an open mind will certainly feel as if they're missing the punch line of a particularly hilarious in-joke. Lovable and bizarre, 'We'll be right back' is a much fuller CD than the band's previously unreleased CD (the previous CD was banned after a Pat Robertson supporter witnessed the live version of 'Sonata No. 43 in E flat) There is definately a place in every collector's vault for one of these gems. This band rulz!

"We'll be right back!," by Snipe Hunt is a welcome change from the reincarnated "New Kids on the Block" bands that have inundated todays music scene. These guys obviously drink beer, eat red meat, and check out hot women, while the current "Boy Bands" sip bottled water, eat tofu, and check out each other's hair.
You get the feeling Snipe Hunt is having fun, but there are messages in their music. Politics, social structure are mixed in with an eclectic musical blend that will either move you to protest or just ... ... Either way, you cannot deny "We'll be right back!" had no effect on you.
Having heard the CD at the counterculture art festival known as "Burningman," I also camped with Walt Ehresman of Snipe Hunt. I bribed one of the local radio station DJ's with beer so we could hear Snipe Hunt on the air. Turns out she cut one of the songs short because "the guitar solo was too long." Anyway, the CD technically had some airplay and it fit in with Burningman tenet of "Radical Self Expression," while others believe it was "Leave No Trace."
Take it or leave it, "We'll be right back!" makes you think about stuff in general. Stuff like the government, the environment, and about how many beers you can drink while eating a blood-red steak.
