FGF -- The Fibonaccis

Here in Memphis we need a Feel Good Friday badly this week, so let me nudge my cohorts with this very unusual number.

I was in bed watching this goofy movie Android with Klaus Kinski and fell asleep in the middle of it. I figured that out after I was awakened by a very strange instrumental that was made even stranger by hearing in a half-sleep state. It turned out to be the closing theme over credits of that movie. I was relieved, because there is more than a hint of weirdness in this tune, named after a well-known Italian director of spaghetti westerns, "Sergio Leone", by a Los Angeles 80's new wave art rock group, The Fibonaccis (wiki).

Perhaps shoot-out surrealism matches the week we've had. Click here to hear "Sergio Leone" in a new window.

They did make one video, of their cover of "Purple Haze":



Someone put two more of their originals in one video. There are more tunes on their MySpace page. Here's the band's own site with LOTS of their music, where you can stream "Sergio Leone" into your media player or download your own copy, courtesy of the band!
