Captured in six different locations in five countries on three different continents during the band's 100+ show Culture Clash World Tour, it showcases The Aristocrats in full flight: virtuosic, melodic, spontaneous, outrageous, and still having more fun than any group of world touring muzos has any right to have.

'Culture Clash Live' will be released on the band's label, Boing Music, and available physically as a cd/dvd package containing 8 audio tracks on the cd and 9 cuts on the dvd. Only three tracks are the same performance on both cd and dvd - all others are unique, giving fans a chance to hear how the songs evolved while on tour. dvd bonus features include: a look behind the scenes at the video setup in Tokyo, an extra drum solo shot with 20 cameras, and demos from the 'Culture Clash album'.

As if that's not enough, The Aristocrats are also releasing a 2cd set called 'Secret Show: Live In Osaka', which shows Marco Minnemann and his group at the peak of their live prowess: equal parts raw, funny, bracing... and with no editing in any of the performances comprising the two-disc set. The band didn't even know they were being recorded until after the show, when they were presented with a live-to-two-track recording by the soundman. The first 1,000 units of Secret Show will be signed by the band, and the limited release will only be available at the band's website and live merch tables.

Each band member had unique thoughts on the tour, which ended up in the liner notes for the package. Marco Minnemann says:

"I remembered sitting in a van on our ride to one of our shows, listening to one of the songs – which I usually avoid, because it's sort of like looking in the mirror trying to fix your hair or something – saying out loud, 'Hey, we’re actually not that bad!' You sometimes just gotta let go and enjoy the real-time moments without questioning them."

To top it all off, the band is slotted to play a four-show residency at Alvas Showroom in San Pedro, California in late January 2015 to work out new material. Just two days later, they'll go back into the studio to make their highly anticipated third studio album at world-famous Sunset Sound, where Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, and Rage Against The Machine tracked albums, among hundreds of others. The Aristocratic musical mayhem continues with a tentative release scheduled for July of 2015.

Marco Minnemann is widely seen by fans and peers as one of the most gifted, innovative, cutting-edge drummers in the world. He's graced the covers of several drum magazines and enjoys an ultra-versatile sideman career (Adrian Belew, UKZ, Steven Wilson, Joe Satriani, Necrophagist). Marco is also a multi-instrumentalist and compulsively productive composer with nearly twenty cd and dvd solo releases to date.
